I woke up to the news of Pupil’s official website is finally up. I remember before that the domain name was pupilopolis.com but yeah, I think they had some problems with renewing the domain name which they refer to as a “bad case of organizational astigmatism”.

The design is very urban. It used the color yellow with a shade called Mimosa (if I’m not mistaken) as its main background color. And it’s a full flash website. It’s not slow to load but perhaps if you run on a dial-up, it will be really slow to load.

The location of the navigation (or the menu) was very obvious. Getting to see the profiles of the the members of Pupil was not so obvious. It has very small thumbnails of them that people might actually think that it’s only a design element.

And the pink badge on the right with the red and black text, I’m not sure about color red on the text. Overall, the design is good. It would have been even better if it’s not a full flash website though.

Do you have what it takes to be a model of? Shirts.ph is looking for models of their products. If you’re interested, send your picture at shirtsph [at] yahoo.com. In their website, I like the Comic Sans shirt .

Why Filipino Voices?
If you’ve read this post “Who Profits from Filipino Voices“, you can see how passionate the bloggers in Filipino Voices. In fact, it exists because of:

Who profits from Filipino Voices, but the people who want to see real change and want to contribute to the formation of a truly Filipino model for revolution. Who profits from the reverberations of the collective voice but the collective? Who must profit from all of these but the poor and the disenfranchised, never those whose parasitic natures corrupt this paradise. Who must profit from FV but those who thirst for knowledge, for truth and seek a way out of this perpetual cycle of disarray and corruption that threatens future generations.

I am hoping that they will be able to do an Acceptance Speech in the coming Philippine Blog Awards Night this Sunday.

This is a start of a vision, a gathering of great and passionate minds, a focus towards prosperity, understanding, and a better Philippines. We push forward because we know that our nation is still clouded in darkness, we can become part of that light, that sheds whatever misunderstanding there is among us and sheds light on the issues that we face as a nation

Justin.TV is like the popular TV show Big Brother in some ways. Justin wears the camera 24 hours, 7 days a week. And that is even if he’s in the bathroom or on a date. And according to the website, he’ll wear the camera until the day he dies. It was launched on March 19 and it has been running online for nine days already .

Justin Kan said (the CEO and cameraman):

I am broadcasting live video of my life 24/7 to the internet. I started Justin.tv because I thought it would awesome for people to see what it was like to be Justin.

I convinced three of my friends (Emmett, Michael, and Kyle) to join me out in San Francisco. Now, we’re starting a company to make broadcasting live video on the web easy.

Thanks for watching Justin.tv. Let me know what you like and don’t like about the show; I hope to hear from you soon!

His friends Emmett (software hacker), Michael (producer and COO) and Kyle (hardware hacker) are part of Justin.TV and they have their own contributions to the company. By the way, Kyle built the cameras for Justin.TV .

The website itself has still needs for improvement. One of which is bandwidth which was mentioned in the forums.

I just hoped that my URL is not blocked in China as suggested by their disclaimer:
