The Tech Roundup PH May 5, 2025 DONATE Digest 25-13 Hello Reader, Belated May the 4th be with you! Finally got around to publishing my vlog about challenging myself to build a facial recognition app that allows one to move a ball on the screen using the "Pinoy Gesture", a Filipino mannerism in which we point at things using our puckered lips. 😗 The videos were recorded a few weeks before the term "vibe coding" came out so I never mentioned it. I had so much fun building the app, and learned a...

The Tech Roundup PH Apr 28, 2025 DONATE Digest 25-12 Hello Reader, How's the summer heat treating you? I hope you're enduring as I am. This past Saturday, I was in Lipa, Batangas for the Batangas IT Conference, and goodness gracious, the outside heat was unbearable. We knew that it would be blazing hot, so we decided against our usual practice of walking around town after an event. But we still did manage to score us some Batangas food! From tulingan to kakanin to pastries, oh man, everything...

The Tech Roundup PH Mar 31, 2025 DONATE Digest 25-09 Hello Reader, On Threads last week, I raised the need to force consumer tech manufacturers to bring back repairability and upgradability to their products, and it sparked some debate. It also highlighted the difference between the context of developed vs. emerging economies. I invite you to share your thoughts on the topic. Just an update on the Quantum Computing course I'm taking, we just finished the fifth session, and I'm completely lost...

The Tech Roundup PH Mar 24, 2025 DONATE Digest 25-08 Hello Reader, Months ago, I was tempted to join the casting call by RecCreate for career shifters. They're doing it again on March 28. I really want to go but it's a Friday, so it might mean I need to go on leave, which isn't possible at the moment. If you're a career shifter and you're free on Friday, I encourage you to join. People need to know that shifting careers is okay, and should be normalized. Are you a fan of Severance? If you...

The Tech Roundup PH Mar 10, 2025 DONATE Digest 25-06 Hello Reader, I love this week's newsletter: we put our focus on the value of college education! From getting a college degree without going back to college, to ongoing global discussions on how college education should adapt in the knowledge economy, to colleges closing down due to lack of enrollees, to alternative learning pathways, there's a lot to unpack. One may think that I'm anti-academe. On the contrary, I'm anti-not evolving. I'm...
