The Human Cancer Institute which was founded by Jon Huntsman was “popular” for a while in the internet. Why? Because the self-made billionaire and philanthropist founder of the institute, was on FOX Glenn Beck’s show.

So what did this rich but good guy had to say? Watch the interview videos below:

Civilization Network Tips – Facebook Version

Civilization Network Tips image

Are you looking for Civilization Network Tips? Well if you are then you have come to the right place. But before that let me clarify that we are talking about the Facebook version of Sid Meier’s Civilization game. This game is not out yet but once it is, I will post tips and links to other sites containing worthy tips, strategies, tactics or maybe even cheats :P

One tip I can give right now is that expansion is a big must. Like in the real desktop Civilization game, if you don’t expand early and fast, you will lose out in every aspect of the game because you will not get the resources you would need if you have claimed real estate early. Not only that, you would have less population thus less productivity.

In Facebook, I would assume it would be the same thing. And like any other FB game, neighbors would play a vital part of the strategy. So right now in the pre-beta release of this much awaited FB game, my tips is to expand early whether socially (via adding as many neighbours as possible) or functionally (claiming real estate early … if that is ever part of the game which it should be…).

I also know of a site being created as early as now which would serve as a repository of strategies, tactics or simply tips to the much-awaited Civilization Network game. The site is Civilization Network Tips.

How to Embed Google Spreadsheets into a Webpage image

You probably have encountered this challenge before where you wanted to have a spreadsheet of yours embedded into your web page or blog post. If you are familiar with HTML, you could use the TABLE tag. Or if you use a CMS like WordPress (some say WP is not a CMS but that is another topic for discussion) you can copy the cells in a spreadsheet and past it in the VISUAL pane when writing a post. But there is a better way. Yes, it involves the Google Docs product. Let us see how to embed Google Spreadsheets into a web page or blog posts.

  1. Upload your spreadsheet into Google Docs
  2. Select the uploaded spreadsheet
  3. Click the SHARE button at the top right and then click PUBLISH AS A WEB PAGE
  4. Select the sheets to publish and then under the GET A LINK TO THE PUBLISHED DATA, select HTML TO EMBED IN A PAGE
  5. Copy the code generated in the bottom text box and paste it into your web page or blog post and that’s it!

So there you have it. The 5 steps to embed google spreadsheets into a web page or blog post.

Cable TV Provides in the Philippines image

Just bought a brand new TV and am looking for Cable TV providers in the Philippines. Now, I am not a big TV watcher and more hooked to the internet (for both work and leisure…). I am considering of applying for a cable TV connection to watch important news and NBA games :) . Another reason is having an old-school antenna is not possible at my place. Thus, I tried to search for providers online and here is what I found:

Sky Cable
Of the 4 in this list, Sky Cable has the most beautiful website. They have the Sky Cable Starter package which is priced at P280 per month, not bad…They have what I want, the news and the BTV (basketball channel). However, new subscribers have to pay P2000. Let us check out the other providers.

Global Destiny
The lowest plan is at P500. And with that comes the following benefits:

  • NO INSTALLATION FEE!!!
  • Crystal clear signal
  • 85+ Channels
  • First 100 ft. cable is provided at no cost; in excess, pay P10/ft.
  • Just pay 3 months advance (P1,500) upon connection
  • Monthly billing starts on the 4th month
  • Additional P50.00/mo. for every TV extension plus one-time fee of P200 for materials

In terms of what I want, Sky and Global are equal. They have what I want. In terms of everything else, I think Global has an edge. They have more channels and in the short run is cheaper than Sky. In the long run though, Sky would be cheaper, you do the math :P

Cablelink
I don’t like their website. It is not user friendly and it is not suitable for marketing as well. They have done a bad job on this. They also do not have Basketball TV. FAIL.

Home Cable
No website??? FAIL FAIL FAIL.

So there. Those are the only providers I was able to find online. If you see more, please let me know.

Iron Man 2 poster

So where can you watch the Iron Man 2 Trailer? Right here! If you are an Iron Man fan and you loved the first installment of this comic-made-movie character, then you would surely love Iron Man 2. Actually, this movie is so good, that there is news that an Iron Man 3 is already in the works! But let us stick to the near future for now…

Iron Man 2 is around 6 months after Tony Starks revealed his superhero identity. So basically, the 2nd installment will deal with plots around his new found public character. I won’t dabble any longer so you just watch the trailer below:
