September is about to end and there seems to be a quiet calm. Most are burrowing their heads and hands on work (as I do). The Christmas season is just a few months away (and I have this feeling that there will be much to be thankful for), businesses and shops and entrepreneurs, and shoppers are already preparing.

Yes, a lot of things are happening soon. Like,

SEMCON 2007. The Macalua, founder of SEO Philippines is spearheading the first (I think) Search Engine Marketing conference in the Philippines.

If you are thinking of having a web presence, check this out before putting your money on the line. If you are a small company and you would want to compete with the big boys, this might be what you are looking for.

6th National eLearning Conference. Calling teachers, administrators, freelancers, content providers, LGUs, NGOs, trainers, HR people - just about anybody who is interested in learning with technology. Technology can help bring education and learning in the Philippines to a higher level. It is not just about computers or the internet. First and foremost it’s about the Learner who wants to learn what he wants (not what you want to teach only), anytime and everytime he wants to, anywhere he wants to go, in the way he wants it.

6th National eLearning Conference: Learning About Technology, eLearning with Technology for the Academe and Industry

Venue: St. Martin de Porres Auditorium (Medicine Auditorium), University of Santo Tomas, Espana, Manila

Dates: 25-26 October 2007

UE is waiting for the winner of the ADMU-DLSU tiff, with La Salle having the twice-to-beat advantage. Dine Racoma keeps a running account of the rivalry and updates like the September 23 game here. Basketball crazy as we are, I know many alumni (and even those not from any of the two schools) who take a leave of absence just to watch the match. (Gerbs, I hope you read this.)

Melo still has the 4-Day-Workweek thing going. Pick me! Pick me!

Bloggers @ Rocked Radio. Can we call this a live podcast? Lauren, Juned, Markku, Jayvee and Joey. This will be a crazy conversation though the topic is on the serious side. More info about Radio Episode can be found here, there, and over there. (Copy and pasted from Juned’s site, hehehe)

And this one too.
