This is a quick round up of what I found interesting or good around the internet.

I just found out that my cousin Ate Deedee (who used to be with Philstar.com, among others) blogs at Sa Dulang ni Deedee. Check her blog as she bares her soul freely and learn a thing or two about good great writing, life and living.

The 1st Mindanao Bloggers Summit happens in Davao on October 27. The highlight of that event is the Mindanao Blog Awards where the best and brightest blogs down south will be acknowledged.

Speaking of Davao, I met with Davao Bloggers recently and was received with a very warm welcome. I recently learned that Andrew of Ratified.org is invading (or has invaded) Australia and is also accepting sponsors for his site. Ria also wrote about a finding a date.

Blogger’s Kapihan, spearheaded by Sir Martin organized a blogging beyond the basics just for Pisay students. He was the teacher behind the Pisay Meets World project last year and is currently busy with an “upgrade” over last year’s success. I have a feeling that this can go the next level like doing it for other interested schools. Schoolpad.ph might want to join the bandwagon and let schools know how they can maximize the internet for their needs. But one step at a time, right? Then maybe we can get the schools to think about e-learning, too.

Coincidentally, the 6th National eLearning Conference will happen on October 25-26. Details here. The theme is: Learning About Technology, eLearning with Technology for the Academe and Industry. (PS: I’m in the board of Philippine eLearning Society (PeLS), the organizers.)
I’m joining Positive Thinking Day, on September 13. The idea is to change the world one thought at a time. I’ll be featuring the most positive Filipino I know. Who is the most positive one for you?
Which takes us to one of the most positive Filipino blogs I read that keeps me optimistic: Happy Nest by Toni. I just found it recently and am looking for more. Do you have any positive Filipino blog you would recommend?

My nephew Kirby is a newbie blogger who writes about Jack Canfield’s The Success Principles here. Did I mention that I have a photoblog at Pinoyphotoblog.com? I know, it’s a take on Pinoytechblog, Pinoytravelblog. Maybe someday, they’ll all be part of a bigger PinoyBlognetwork or BBN?

Lastly, a dog blogs!
Found any good one lately?
