Eraserheads' concert was cut short (Updated)

UPDATE (10:15 pm GMT+8): Inquirer.net has just added three videos of the Eraserheads performing their hit songs Ligaya, Alapaap and Sembreak at their reunion concert. These videos may be watched below.

I and my friends wanted to be in the attendance of the Eraserheads' reunion concert held last night, but, due to some reasons, were not able to buy a ticket. While browsing the web last night, I found an article saying that the concert was cut short and that it was because of Ely Buendia's health status.

The Recent Games and the Web

It may be very unpatriotic to blog this but here I go: Our country, the Philippines, was again not able to bring home any medal from the Games. Even the president was unhappy about it. Going on, below are different Beijing Olympics-related items I found on the Web.

HitMeLater: "A Snooze Button For Your Email"

HitMeLater is a solution for busy people's overflowing email box.

I asked the creator of HitMeLater, Philip J. "Pud" Kaplan, via Ask Pud, "How and when exactly did HitMeLater started?" He answered via a blog post: "I came up with the idea and built the site a couple of days ago when I was out of town, checking email on my phone. Lots of emails I wanted to follow-up with but didn’t have the time at that moment..."

I dropped by Mugglenet.com to see some reactions. Below left is a poll result (as of Aug 15, '08, some minutes before this post) from the site. I, too, voted for the winner. The second choice is simply not true, because "the move was made to take advantage of an open weekend in Hollywood's busy summer season, said Alan Horn, Warner Bros. president and chief operating officer"

Wikia Search: the Next Google Challenger

If Wikipedia is the online encyclopedia where anyone can edit an article, Wikia Search is the search engine where anyone can edit search results.

Wkipedia founder Jimmy Wales is hoping to beat Google with this new project that he is heading. Which will succeed first, Wikia or Cuil? or will Google still prevail?

4chan survives again!

This year's Olympic mascots, which is one of the traditional Olympic symbols, are really cute and unique because of the incorporation of Chinese characteristics in them. Click on the image to know more about it.

Official Mascots

Fuwa embody the natural characteristics of four of China's most popular animals -- the Fish, the Panda, the Tibetan Antelope, the Swallow -- and the Olympic Flame.
