I just found out that Stellify is one of the finalists for the Best Blog Design category of the Best Blog division of the 2nd Philippine Blog Awards. I’m shocked.

The very first WordCamp in Southeast Asia is happening right here in the Philippines. Organized by the Mindanao Bloggers, WordCamp Philippines 2008 will take place on September 6, at the Augusto-Rosario Gonzalez Theater, 5/F Mutien Building, College of St. Benilde, Taft Ave., Manila. (Edit: I believe that the event date was moved from October 25 to September 6 to fit Matt Mullenweg‘s schedule. Believe it, he’s coming!)
