Mapblogging with Wikimapia
Here's something I accidently found while ambling around the net a few months ago. I just thought it'd be of better use for some of us bloggers esp. travelbloggers out there.
Well, it's called Wikimapia (http://wikimapia.org). It is, and I quote, "a Web 2.0 project to describe the whole planet Earth. It was created by Alexandre Koriakine and Evgeniy Saveliev, inspired by Google maps and Wikipedia."
Cool thing about it is that it allows users to put labels and decriptions over specific places in the map. And since it has been around for a while now, today it has a lot of to tell you around. Another nice hitch is allowing you to grab a dynamic map to be embedded in your web pages or blog site like the ones I have up there. Yeah, it's dynamic in a sense that you can actually drag the map here and about to show your favorite spot anywhere in the world. And of course, there's zooming in and out handy if you need it. Go ahead, try it!

April 22, 2007. The local government unit of the City of Koronadal, under the leadership of City Mayor Fernando Q. Miguel, hosted a welcome dinner party dubbed, “Dayon Kamo sa Koronadal” (Welcome to Koronadal), at the South Cotabato Gym and Cultural Center, this city.
The party, which commenced after the grand opening at the adjacent South Cotabato Sports Complex, featured colorful mixes of ethnic, pop and contemporary dance and musical presentations. A number of performing groups in the locale were involved in the grand presentation. Among the dance performers were, the NDMU Kariktan Dance Troupe, Kahayag Community Dance and Theater Company, Hinugyaw Cultural Dance Troupe and the Tupi National High School Street Dancers. The musicality was also performed live by a concerted feat by the Hinugyaw Ethnic Ensemble, Koronadal City Employee’s Choir and the Firefly Band.
“This performance is unprecedented in as far as collective artistic rendition is concerned”, the Artistic Director, Mario Estacion, said in an interview. He added, “The entire show was a beautiful convergence of ethnic, contemporary and popular dance and musicality, all provided live by none but only the local talents of this place.”
The musicality also featured an original composition entitled “Dali na sa Koronadal” composed and arranged by Cyril Forro, Ryan Gazo, Richy Dauz and Ruel Ambat (Digital Handyman). The dance performances were created by the different groups with their own choreographers and were merged into stage piece by Benhur Abulencia and Mario Estacion.

Did this, done that.
Ok. Now I have to start showing some stuff from my shelf.
My line of work is drawn upon the creation of audio and visual materials for every type of application. I have been into computer-related technical jobs such as computer laboratory design, local networking and website propagation. Beyond those, I have also been doing web creation including graphics, sound and video creation using Adobe Creative Suite, CorelDraw, Flash, Dreamweaver, Sony Vegas and many others.
During the last three years, I have self-learned music and sound effects creation using Adobe Audition and FL Studios and shooting materials for video documentaries and presentations using Sony Vegas. Up there is a link to my youtube account where I have uploaded some of my most recent creations. Many of those include voiceovers that I narrated myself.
And there was blog
Hello blog world!
I have long been itching to do my own blog thing. But I can't seem to find an empty hand to do it. Wish I have more hands and time. Well here it is.
Anyways, this blog o'mine shall be dedicated to the publication of my concurrent works. I have heaps of things to share--lessons I learned--while working on the many projects that I have been fiddling on. So it'll be a showcase and tips-n-tricks sort of blog here for you.
