With a lot of exciting happenings on the web today, we need to always catch up right? Imagine yourself on a beach, under the summer sun, enjoying the scenery while still connected to the information superhighway. Isn’t that a perfect moment that most of use wants to experience? Unfortunately, wireless broadband access is pricey these days and bulky laptop might hinder your mobility. Let’s admit it..most of us can’t afford to buy Vaio lappy and UMPCs. It’s just too expensive!Mobile device however, is one thing we can afford. Get a decent J2ME-enabled or Symbian Phone and download plusmo.com’s software. plusmo.com is a company that will truly mobilize you and your phone. With their software, you can get updates of your favorite blogs, news sites and even locate the nearest Starbucks for FREE!
It really rocks and runs smoothly on my Treo 650 phone! Now, I can get access to information anytime, anywhere at a fraction of a cost.
A perfect reason to avail of the Smart GRPS pricing which is PhP 10.00 per 30 minutes!

1. MooTools /MooFx can easily take-over Scriptaculous as a Javascript framework/Animation. The documentation is rich in content but it’s too technical that I can’t even find where the “getting started for dummies is”. I got to get my hands dirty on this one! It’s an improved Prototype.js!
2. Cisco has agreed to acquire Webex for $3.2 billion as published over at techcrunch.com. That’s a huge price tag that Cisco is willing to spend their money into considering the fact that web conferencing market is crowded these days! Add to the fact that there are a number of web 2.0 conferencing startup sprouting all over Silicon Valley scene to compete and bring innovation backed by big time venture capitalist. ( I will list them here when I find my super-secret-list! ). This is just a wow deal because as far as I can remember, the only deal that made me say “wow” was when Google bought Youtube for $1.6 Billion in stock (also here and here)
3. It’s weekend tomorrow! Okay, I know it’s non-sense but hey, I will finally have a time to blog more! Hopefully…
Shoot!
