I thought that I couldn’t herald the iPhone enough, but I was wrong. For starters, I’m writing this post on my iPhone and the following photos are from my new favorite app: Best Camera, a $2.99 app that edits existing photos in your album as well as new photos:

I haven’t caught this on the newsstands yet, but I’ll be looking for it. Apparently, it’s a special issue of Rolling Stone:

I haven’t rode Critical Mass yet since I’m still getting used to riding my fixed gear. Plus I want it to look super fresh before I roll with thousands of fixed gear heads. If you don’t know about Critical Mass, it’s cycling event every last Friday of every month. Here’s a video my friend did from the most recent Critical Mass:

Michael Jackson Tribute

For some reason, I totally missed the new Michael Jackson tribute made by those crazy Filipino prisoners. Maybe I was too out of it after MJ’s passing. Nonetheless, it’s all new to me so check it:

Fight Night Round 4

I just purchased my copy of Fight Night Round 4, which means two things:

My thumbs will be sore tomorrow morning.
I will not sleep.

Don’t forget that two Filipinos are in the game: Manny Pacquiao (of course) and Nonito Donaire.
