Fresh from a loss for the the most powerful position in the world John McCain delivered one of the best speeches in any political arena. For me it rivals the JFK’s inaugural speech. It acknowledges the historic essence of this election and congratulates Barack Obama. He calls out for unity and states the pride he feels being an American. You should read the transcript or watch the video of his speech to really appreciate the essence of his speech.

Almost Awesome: CNN Hologram Coverage of US Polls
05Nov08Before any comments please watch the video:
This is CNN’s Holographic Coverage. What sucked is that the guy is talking to a green screen and its all in the computer. That’s just a half baked hologram but imagine the innovation this could make on the movie industry(Hollywood and not the “other” industry)
Dayo: Animated Flick Featuring Filipino Mythology
04Nov08If Urduja was based on a Filipino princess(albeit some twisted romance with Limahong) then Dayo is based on Philippine mythology(tikbalangs, mananangals etc). I have seen the trailer and I am really impressed with the Disney like presentation. This film is 100% digital compared to Urduja’s mix media.
Cast:
* Nash Aguas as Bubuy
* Katrina “Hopia” Legaspi as Anna Manananggirl
* Nova Villa and Noel Trinidad as Bubuy’s grandparents
* Johnny Delgado as the father of Anna Manananggirl
* Laurice Guillen as the diwata or fairy
* Michael V. as Narsi (the narcissistic tikbalang)
* Pokwang as Yaya Vicky
* Pocholo Gonzales as Toti (The leader of 3 Manananggal, sounds like Michael Enriquez) and Halan (The Tree Villain)
Dayo AVP
Mc Cain? Obama? No! Nader Yes!
04Nov08As the votes are cast today only a minority of voters know Ralph Nader. He ran last 2004 as an independent and last 2000 and 1996 as the candidate of the Green Party. He is a renowned activist and has been an advocate of several interests. He would probably lose in the midst of the unstoppable might of the train known as the Obama campain.
