Monthly Blogs Round-Up, May 2007

I'm late with this round-up becase of one 'event' (see below for 'LIRA') that is dominating my time this month, and will be dominating July as well.

Monthly Blogs Round-Up, April 2007

The second edition of my monthly blog posts round-up is here. Without further ado:

Slip of the Pen

• The last week of March: getting the essay contest prize, cleaning up shit, and walking down the non-existent red carpet at the Philipping Blog Awards.
• With the balls to follow the bliss, I managed to make writing for cash and writing for art dance with each other, and dance well.

Crimson Crux

• Belatedly wrote a post-mortem of the Phil. Blog Awards.
• Who says Rome: Total War and Waterworld can't mix?
• I became Performancing.com's new writer in mid-April. Perf is one of the leading sites for bloggers and probloggers today.
• My first weekly round-up of problogging tips.

I think I'll be posting less this month of May (birthday month), as I'll be in Aklan for almost a week to attend my uncle's wake and funeral. He passed away just last Monday. Me and my family would very much appreciate your praying for his soul. Thanks.

Monthly Blogs Round-Up, March 2007

I've finally found a use for this Multiply journal. The Corsarius Multiply version will feature a round-up of all the blog posts I've written across all my blogs for the past month (excluding blogs owned by other people that I write for -- that would be too onerous of a task!). Let's start with last month's entries.

Slip of the Pen

• Won an essay writing contest and got published in The Philippine Star...
• ...which led to the Post-Achievement Syndrome.

Crimson Crux

• I received my first Google Adsense cheque.
• A rant on useless credit cards.
• I'm a poor suitor of girls, but Google says otherwise.
• Salivating for the legendary moleskine notebook? Here's your chance to win one.
• The 'formal launch' of our newly-opened free article directory website.
• I'm a member of the ACM, and here are some thoughts on international computing society membership.
• A post on the 1st Philippine Blog Awards night, where Ia was a finalist.

Aircraft Models Crux

• Qatar Airways A330-300 15th Asian Games edition.

Hardwar Crux

• A YouTube video on one of my favorite PC games.

During the month, Ia and I also opened Article Crux (a free high-quality article website) and the official site for the 3rd Kimpo International Reunion, as announced on Corsarius.net.
