DJI Mavic Mini Aerial Camera Bundle - Recommended

-

My new toy. It makes walking the dog more fun fit me, although my husky doesn't appreciate us staying in one location for an extended period.

If you're looking to get into drones, I recommend this. It's only 249 grams. You have to register a drone if it's over 250 grams. DJI is smart.

I got it for $389.99 back in November, although I didn't fly it until February 1.

While watching ABC7 news, they had a feature on the drone problems at airports. It made me check Costco.com and found out it's on sale online for $339.99. $50 savings!

Learn Filipino • April 2026 Learn Tagalog: Exploring the Soul of Destiny with "Tadhana" by Up Dharma Down From indie breakout to pambansang anthem: how one OPM song became the gateway for Filipino Americans rediscovering their roots—and what the word tadhana reveals about our deepest values. Now with three grammar lessons for Fil-Am kids and adults who never had formal Pilipino classes. Tadhana — the Filipino concept of destiny — captured in one of OPM's most enduring songs. I was driving on I-80 through Vallejo with my bunso when I first really heard it—not as background noise, but as a full reckoning. She was playing DJ from her iPhone, tapping through Spotify, which I love for h...

KALUSUGAN • FIL-AM HEALTH • APRIL 2026 The Filipino Constellation: Why Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, and Heart Disease Hit Fil-Am Families So Hard Filipino-Americans carry the heaviest chronic-disease burden of any Asian-American subgroup — but because the data is routinely aggregated, the crisis stays invisible. One man's clinical story names the pattern moving through our families. Every Filipino-American family I know has a version of this story. A tito who died of a stroke earlier than anyone expected. A tita on dialysis. A lola who managed her diabetes...

Daku kaayo ang kalipay: Reunited in Valencia, Bukidnon (April 1, 2005)

April 2, 2026 at 01:17PM by pinoybuilt ​The April 1, 2005 Archive: Valencia, Bukidnon ​On March 25, 2005, the distance finally ended. After being separated since December 2004, I reunited with Tess and our girls in the cooler, quieter highlands of Bukidnon. ​This is a 30-second raw window into that afternoon, captured on an Olympus C3000z in the Barangay of Poblacion. You can hear the unedited "hiss" of 2005 technology, but more importantly, you hear my late wife, Tess. In the last third of the video, her laughter cuts through the decades—a reminder of the joy that anchored our diaspora journey. (I'll have to find video of her speaking fluent Bisaya). ​At PinoyBuilt.com, we analyze the news of today through the lens of where we’ve been. Sometimes, the most important "data" isn't a statistic, but a voice from 21 years ago. ​#PinoyBuilt #Bukidnon #Bisaya #FilAm #Diaspora #Legacy #2005Archive via YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQZR7qkJx20

In the Filipino-American experience, we often talk about "building"—building a life, building a legacy, and building a future on Turtle Island . "Wrestling is a metaphor for our collective experience. It’s about finding your footing, staying grounded, and facing ev...
