A Pinoy Blog About Nothing

Some interesting finds:

Gvisit
A nifty little tool using the Google Maps API to show you where your web visitors are from. Best of all, it’s free.

Howie Severino’s Sidetrip Blog
Another Filipino broadcast journalist joining the blogging fray.
“This blog will attempt to find relevance in the exotic and the commonplace, value the undervalued, and satisfy my personal curiosity about all things that have anything to do with being Filipino.”

If Bloggers Had Been Around Throughout History
Nice. Wonder how long before someone makes it Pinoy-centric.

Hail to the Chef
According to Mirsbin, the new executive chef, Cristeta Comerford, at the White House is Pinay. And she’s the first woman to hold that position too. Way to go! Does that mean Dubya will soon be dining on adobo, pinakbet and kare-kare?

From Jesse (thanks J!):

Brought to fruition eight times a year by freelance writers, journalists, photographers, web artists and individuals who dream of representing all traditional and esoteric groups in the country, it is truly an endeavor that results from genuine dedication and hard work. Through the showcase of various literatures, it aims to be a true testament to the Filipino Pagan Spirit.”
