It must've been keen foresight on the part of my folks to have nicknamed me "Blogie" when I was still in diapers. Now, I'm a Web warrior living up to his name!

New mag for Mac enthusiasts

There is a plethora of glossy magazines being churned out in the country today, from the pithy to the pitiable, covering topics of interest to the general public or to a specific interest group. In my opinion, those publications that have made it a point to focus on a niche are the ones that will find loyal readers.

iCreate

One such magazine that was launched last 10 October 2008 is iCreate. It’s a publication that’s very narrow in focus, but wide in possibilities. To begin with, iCreate targets Mac enthusiasts and users of other Apple technologies. However, it also styles itself as a rich resource for those who are seriously considering a switch to the world of the Mac.

I’m not exactly a Mac user myself, but I do appreciate that there are Filipino-made niche publications out there for those who find themselves enamored of Steve Jobs’ creations. :)

Bloggers at the iCreate launch Thanks to my friends, Otep Benavides and Niño Carandang (head of marketing for iCreate), for inviting me and my blogger-friends to the magazine’s launch. The first issue actually came out 15 August 2008, and it is currently the only Macintosh magazine in the country. It comes out bi-monthly and costs P295.

iCreate is published by Bella Luce Publications, the same outfit behind these magazines: Digital Photographer Philippines, Golf Punk Philippines and Wedding Belles.
