And so I turned 25 today.

Ok, after I got the BlackBerry Bold, I haven’t really had time to play around with it’s data tethering capability(using it as a modem).

It’s been about a week since I started going on the bold and it’s quite the lifechanger.
It’s allowed me to do everything I needed to do except for my programming(which I suppose it will never be able to do).
My emails are now pushed so I can clear them regardless of where I am. My calendaring [...]

Last Wednesday, Acer brought in some the bloggers for a preview of their recently launched Aspire Timeline series. It’s been a long while since I’ve attended such things so it was a pleasant surprise when I found out that it was going to be a small group – which meant that I could take the [...]

I’m in the bus filled with people going home. How do I know they’re heading home? It’s written in their eyes. Oh those weary eyes.
The bus stops and a man walks briskly from behind me and as he does so my nose catches a familiar aroma – chicken. Yummy fried chicken. It makes me want [...]
