Tech blogging for BY has been planned long time ago but it never pushed through, or rather, I did not make it push through. Thanks to Kuya Migs who convinced me to do a tech blog for mobile phones.

However, what I have in mind is not blogging for mobile phones alone. I’m planning to make this a general technology blog. I’d be blogging some developments on the latest technologies available to mankind, do some reviews on what’s hot in the market and give some techniques, downloads and other stuff related to this geeky techy-ness.

I think that’s enough for a start post. Stay tuned for some updates.
