The obligatory birthday post.:) There was a funny conversation at home just now when I was getting prepped for work. Ling had laid out two presents on the bed; one was a new polo-shirt (I love these!), and the other

Dell XPS Studio 16 – Notes
The Dell XPS Studio 16 notebook I ordered more than a week ago was actually assembled and shipped to Singapore for local dispatch last Thursday evening; at which point it sat in the warehouse for the weekend before actual delivery

Two colleagues of mine – both Apple fans – and I were talking about the MacBooks and iPhones yesterday afternoon. One was surprised, like my Kumamoto colleagues last year during the teaching trip, that I used my MacBook Pro primarily
