Donation Centers, Help Areas of Ondoy victims on Google Maps

Want to donate some good to victims of tropical storm Ondoy but don’t know where to go? If you have internet, maybe this will help.

Ondoy Donation Centers, Help areas on Google Maps

Found out about this via Jayvee’s blog. The Typhoon Ondoy Mapping Team have started tagging areas on Google Maps where donation centers can be found, and where help is still greatly needed.

If you know of any additional areas that need to be tagged, you can send your updates here. Likewise, there’s also an online spreedsheet available of all the donation centers in the Philippines that needs updating as well.

I know this is very little as compared to what really needs to be done, but this is the least we can do to help out in the effort to help our fellow countrymen and brethren. Do your share by keeping everyone informed of the latest updates.

5G iPod Nano with Camera now Available: 8GB-P8790, 16GB- P10490

The new iPod Nano (also referred to as the 5G iPod Nano) was, without question, the biggest star in Apple’s recent iPod event. While it may not be able to take pictures, it’s the first and currently the only iPod to boast of a camera.

The 8GB version retails for just P8790 while the 16GB variant is priced at P10,490 at the Apple Online Store. It should be available in local stores already for more or less the same price, but if you want to be different, you can buy it online and nab the Apple Store exclusive yellow gold or (PRODUCT) Red version and have it engraved for that personal touch. Shipping, by the way, is free as well.
