Since I have been running around like a chicken with its head cut off during Comic Con.
Here is my Photo Blog for SDCC2014. Note the Assassin Creed Unity obstacle course.
Today my post is short. So I just wanted to say
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Conflict of interest.
I work for an events department that handle a huge majority of the Comic Con events in our meeting spaces. One of them is Mr. Game of Thrones himself Mr. George RR Martin. Though he is attending Comic Con in one of the events we are handling he will be promoting his new book. I wanted to cover that panel as an article for the blog but since I work for the events management…I am not allowed to be in the program space unless its work related. BOOOOO Conflict of interest,.
Same Goes to Sneak peak at the new Hobbit film, and any Cartoon Network Panel at the Hilton Bayfront. Can’t go there unless work related.
I will be however looking for Mr. Zen Pencils Mr. Gavin Aung Than
May try out the Gotham Zip Line
Game of Thrones at the Omni Hotel
Will try to Catch the Shield Dinner (I have a birthday of a 1 year old to attend to 😦 )
Pictures and of course
Walking dead Escape!
So this week I will try to post as much articles and Photoblogs about Comic Con as much as I can.

In a few weeks I will be traveling to the Philippines and Japan and my preparation mode has kicked into high gear.
For days I have been scouring Amazon and Gadget sites for an affordable external power bank.
If I had it my way I would have gotten myself a GoPlug bag. But since they are still on Kickstarter phase, that purchase would have to wait. So BTW please pledge to GoPlug power bags. it is truly worth it.
I was sold on getting an Anker® 2nd Gen Astro E3 10000mAh for $30.00 or an EasyAcc® 10000mAh Brilliant Ultra Slim Dual USB for $27.00 when I came upon the Jackery Giant Portable Charger.
My IT manager who is my goto to all Gadget and Geekery advice (Thank You Craig!) told me that when getting portable backup batteries you also need to value in the charging speed. I need to look for anything that is 2Amps to 3 Amps. And how I found the Jackery Giant Continue reading
