Portability and Performance with the Acer Swift Edge 16

Looks like Acer is on a roll as they recently announce the release of a new Swift Edge 16 in Manila, boasting portability and performance all in one. It's a given in previous Swift models that it can be a good companion for work, education and a little play, but what makes this a good thing to buy especially these days when applications need more than the usual computing power?

Processor wise, it's got an AMD Ryzen 7040, plus a AMD Radeon 780M graphics card that can do much of the job. Otherwise, they put in a AMD Radeon 780M graphics and AMD Ryzen AI if they elect a different processor. The 16 inch display on the other hand has a lot to be impressed with, from the 3.2K OLED it is made from, to the 120Hz refresh rate, DCI-P3 color gamut and peak brightness of 500 nits, surely will make the videos, photos, graphics you need to see quite stunning from every front.

Best of all, it's also got fast charging capabilities. In case you need to grab and go, or travel while working, it'll be possible to do things without worrying you'll run out of batteries in transit. Aside from that, its form stays thin and light which makes this one of the most portable products that a person can own to finish work, school stuff or graphics work as this too can handle much of that. If you would like to know more about the best Swift Edge model in town, just head on to acer.com, their channels and at Computex in Taipei, Taiwan if you prefer to try it in person.

Easy Ticketing Services from Ticket2Me

This is the first time I've heard of them but being in the theatre scene for quite a while pretty much have made me see some of their services are being used by companies already. The deal is, this is fully owned and operated by Filipinos, yes this is TICKET2ME.NET, a easy ticketing service that takes the long process of buying, verification and ease of production in one go. This could practically take production costs down, scientifically make data useable and sensible, then make the whole buying process just as easy as buying a cup of coffee. Tickets online can now be purchased and scanned with QR Codes, then all people have to do is watch shows whenever, wherever. I guess it prolly stemmed from experience and necessity, like any start of invention.

Darwin Mariano the Founder and CEO of Ticket2Me says “I fell in love with theatre a long time ago, I watched with a couple of friends and enjoyed it quite much with my lunch money. To keep watching, we resold tickets for the show and pooled funds for it. We started buying shows and became successful, but we couldn’t roll over our funds to another show and didn’t get producers to shell out that much during those years and fell short with funds. My love for theatre though continued and gambled years later on before doing it again. In 2013 we did Maxi the musical and adapted this original play on stage, it was a hit and sold out, plus more after that. I realized the platforms were not built to help me, this is why the event ticketing platform Ticket2Me.net has been put up. This is just one part of it, the other is an even more convenient platform without the need of credit card. This is expansive because of payment outlets like pawnshops and convenience stores, now you can do it in the comforts of your home. Ticket2Me has data and analytics, a robust environment also for organizers so they know how much they have earned, registrations, download all the data and see how they progress. This one can pre market tickets, show data and get tickets that people can pay conveniently. Our sales growth without even launching is 400%, and we made technology do the legwork. We are also working on dynamic pricing dependent on producer reasons if they just want to make the theatre full. It’s the realtime accounting of all tickets to make it seamless. Hopefully in the next few months it will serve more in the event community.”

James Mendoza the Co Founder and CTO “To track data, we use blockchain to see how buying tickets, to track the successful payments, reversals, payments to see how all the real ones push through to enable us logging this data privately.”

We also talked about the possibility of them encountering competition and they're pretty confident about how they have presented their app giving Producers much needed services compared to other ticket service sites plus the openness to also work with them instead of them "stealing ideas" from Ticket2me.net if they can't beat what they do. Makes so much sense because the market is so big especially in entertainment industry. There are tons of concerts, theatre shows, musicals, cultural tours, the list goes on. They are also doing improvements to make everything seamless and all they charge for every ticket selling is 10 percent. I am impressed on how they're doing business, take every stride seriously because they've done this before and learned from mistakes. 

If you want to get acquainted with the latest shows, take it easy with buying tickets, or a production who wants them tickets to be sold, you know where to go. Oh and yes, data is big nowadays, you need that for business and understanding the market, things you need for success.

Aicelle Santos for "AWIT NA AICELLE!" at the Music Museum

She's gorgeous, she's talented and very much a good soul. It's probably the reason why she's blessed because it takes a lot to be Aicelle Santos. She's the Rock and soul diva she just had us at awe when she appeared for a bog conference in Palm Grill Tomas Morato yesterday.

She says "I love soul, rnb music and if it's about the discipline, theater had me. I have to rehearse not just because of money, but you have to feed your passion, you have to feed your soul."

We also saw her dish out tunes with the country's one and only Regine Velasquez Alcasid during the Regine 3.0 concert, with how the netizens saw her performance they completely were taken aback on how she was able to carry a song with Asia's songbird. She humbly says "I was just singing as usual, it was something that was expected of me but I too was surprised on how the netizens lauded me for that performance. I am just blessed".

Here's our interview with the lovely lady:

Here's how she slayed us with her new song:

If you need tickets to the show, you may get it from Ticketnet outlets (8919999), GMA Artist Center and at the Music Museum entrance (7216726) on the day of the event. Don't miss it on November 30, 2017. You'll love her even more! That I'm sure!

This is produced by GMA Artist Center and Stages.
