Digital Is My (Whole) World Now – I Pity Those Who Are Not Digital! So, I’m At Your Service As The Editor In Chief

Young at heart (and mind) although not in body, at 85 (Sept 17), I am very happy to announce to the world what keeps me going (aside from the grace of God), is that I know, as a fulfilled digital person, I tell you now as self-advertisement that The Editor In Chief has a handful of abilities to offer the world: digital writing, digital editing & desktop publishing (good for commercial printing). I provide some details below.

Now then, here are “Frank's 5 Digital Talents For Hire” – what I have to offer the universe of information, journals, knowledge banks, media, publications, research reports and science books – these 5 personal computer-based expertises:

(1) Digital Writer From Home (WFH)

Available as a WFH since 2007, when William Dar, Filipino agriculturist, was on his 7^th year as Director General (DG) of the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), appointed me as WFH. I created and maintained the blog “iCRiSAT Watch.” At the end of 2014, when Mr Dar retired as DG after those15 years, ICRISAT had published 7 books of mine based on the articles in my blog.

(2) The Editor In Chief (TEIC)

Born 17 Sept 1940, and self-taught in digital works, I say age does not matter when talent is concerned, especially digital talents (plural). At 63 years of age, in 2003, I was hired as The Editor In Chief of the triannual Philippine Journal of Crop Science (PJCS), which was then 2 years late in its issues: 2001 and 2002. As a one-man digital band, with Teodoro C Mendoza as Chair of the International Board of Editors, I singlehandedly made the PJCS up-to-date in 2006, meaning as a one-man band I worked double time – and in 2007, made the PJCS included in the elite international journal list called “ISI” (now “Web of Science”). (All this should be in the Guinness Book Of World Records!)

(3) Blogger

As you can see, I continue to blog today that which I began to do sometime in the year 2000 with the digital publisher “The American Chronicle” (since extinct, sorry!). With Blogspot.com, as of today, I have blogged at least 40,000 essays of different lengths, mostly on the subjects of Agriculture and Editing.

(4) Apostle of Regenerative Agriculture (RA)

I Filipino am one of the world’s persistent pursuer of Regenerative Agriculture (RA), a component of Regenerative Capitalism (RC) (see my 16 Jan 2024 essay, “How Good Is ‘Sustainable Capitalism’ AKA ‘Creative Capitalism’ Vs ‘Regenerative Capitalism’?” Communication for Development of Vibrant Villages (ComDev2), blogspot.com); this is another blog of mine.

(5) Persistence in “Communication for Development of Vibrant Villages (ComDev2)

To simplify, I now say: “If your agriculture does not bring about the continued cultivation of vibrant or vigorous villages, it’s capitalistic agriculture; it improves the lives of the capitalists while millions of farmers remain poor.”

Now then, how can I stop proselytizing for the tens of millions of poor Filipino farmers?@517
