Moving in other places

Then again, I update this as much as I deposit money in the bank. There should be no fuss in freelancing for other sites.

Just to let you know, I could also be found in the following places and I submit/post content there more often:
UBelt.com
Manila Bulletin
Tempo
GMANews.tv - without tagline, but you could pretty much guess which writeups are mine
PBL Official Website
2009 Nike Summer League

And now... my new 'project'

GREENARCHERS.PH

I am also status floating on the following sites:
codedMUSHROOM - currently undergoing reconstruction
The 15th Parallel

I also have 'archives' in the following locations:
UAAPgames.com - site is already down because the people there are dumb
2007 Nike Summer League - now contains 2008 NSL content
2008 Nike Summer League - if they use the same database, will be supplanted by 2009 NSL data. How cool is that?

Anyway, I already got tired of collating articles for portfolio purposes. There are too many to keep track of. These are just the online content. How about those that do not get to see web time like several of my articles in Manila Bulletin, Tempo, Animo Magazine, YoU, and others I could not recall this moment.

Oh yeah. I also lost my password in this Angelfire account. Which means all in-house updates and changes (as if I care) can only be done via Blogger.

That sucks. And this is also the reason why I am starting this mini-rebellion with this I-forsaken website. Then again, what is bad with right click->view source then transplant all code into my other Angelfire account?

Or maybe I am just bored and I do not want to do anything about it.

The reluctant NBA playoff bracket

For someone who intentionally did not follow the current NBA season except for fantasy team purposes, I do not have to do this. In essence, I will just be blindly throwing darts on this one.

2009 F1 Drivers appreciation list

Part two of two...

1
Felipe Massa (BRA, Ferrari) - He was one turn away from a driver's championship. Daym.

2
Kimi Raikkonen (FIN, Ferrari) - Which leads me to the disappointment I felt with then defending champion Kimi underperforming last year.

3
Fernando Alonso (ESP, Renault) - Lewis Hamilton have been stepping on too many toes lately, whether intentional or not. I have to take sides.

4
Sebastien Bourdais (FRA, Toro Rosso) - Because I have no one else to put here, might as well put someone who is driving a Ferrari engine.

5
Sebastien Buemi (SUI, Toro Rosso) - Same here.

6
Kazuki Nakajima (JPN, Williams) - With Japanese teams leaving left and right, it is good to know that the Samurai is still represented. Samurai? Oops, wrong sport.

7
Nick Heidfeld (GER, BMW Sauber) - Heidfeld is the only few that has remained active since the 1990s. The only other significant driver will be mentioned below.

8
Nico Rosberg (GER, Williams) - A lot expectations was heaped on him upon his entry. Then came better skilled drivers who had better fortunes like Robert Kubica and, ahem, Hamilton.

9
Robert Kubica (POL, BMW Sauber) - His performance last year caught me by surprise. I expect him to pull off more surprises.

10
Mark Webber (AUS, Red Bull) - In his past lifetime, I recall Webber driving a Minardi. Look where he is now. Still alive and kicking.

11
Timo Glock (GER, Toyota) - Weird that I have not written anything yet for this driver moments before posting this.

12
Jarno Trulli (ITA, Toyota) - Same here.

13
Sebastian Vettel (GER, Red Bull) - This season sets an unusual record for having the most people with near similar first names. As for Vettel's skills, it is there, not just noticeable.

14
Nelsinho Piquet (BRA, Renault) - I did not know Piquet has a cool first name reminiscent of cool football players coming from that country. It never occured to me he is Brazilian in the first place.

15
Giancarlo Fisichella (ITA, Force India) - Because he could not deliver, he got 'demoted'.

16
Adrian Sutil (GER, Force India) - The Schumacher may have been gone but there is no lacking of German blood this season.

17
Jenson Button (GBR, Brawn GP) - He is a good racer, methinks. Just his luck that he got overtaken by another Brit. Anyway, there is still a lot of future ahead for the young guy.

18
Rubens Barrichello (BRA, Brawn GP) - How does it feel to be the resident senior citizen now, eh?

19
Heikki Kovalainen (FIN, McLaren) - Just because.

20
Lewis Hamilton (GBR, McLaren) - He is F1's version of Kobe Bryant. I have nothing but seething words for you, mate.

2009 F1 Constructors appreciation list

As years go by, it seems that I get to watch live F1 races less and less. Which sucks. Considering how exciting last season was although the ending was not exactly to my liking.

And look at the current season zoom by. With two races down and little consideration to the already concluded grand prixes, here my are appreciation lists for this year.

1
Ferrari - Sure, Michael Schumacher is now just a footnote in the history of the storied team. Nevertheless, I am still seeing red even with all the flak they are getting and despite that, Ferrari still emerged as the constructors' champion last year.

2
Scuderia Toro Rosso-Ferrari - The only other team being run with a Ferrari engine this season. Because of that, Scuderia Toro Rosso gets second dibs.

3
Williams-Toyota - With the exit of Honda, only one Asian team remains. Yes, this is blatant geographical bias.

4
Renault - The only non-Ferrari team I like the most and the only non-McLaren team I despise the least. Based on that statement, you will know where this list is headed.

5
Red Bull Racing-Renault - The two Red Bull teams have been dark horses and middle of the pack teams ever since. Which makes them fun to watch because they never went through the rough learning curve of new teams.

6
BMW Sauber - Based on the wins they got last year, BMW Sauber is this year's third wheel depending on how Renault would perform this season.

7
Williams - They had a rough stretch midway this decade but they are catching up. Now, it is up to Nico Rosberg and Kazuki Nakajima to deliver.

8
Force India-Mercedes - The default last place team ever since Super Aguri packed its bags. Which makes for good underdog stories.

9
Brawn GP-Mercedes - Ross Brawn, the brains behind Ferrari is actually using Mercedes engines to power the former Honda team. Pffft.

10
McLaren-Mercedes - For some weird reason, the rivalry of the scarlet horse and the silver arrow continue to this day. And they have been at each ever since I started following F1 with much more regularity late last millennium.
