My Not-So-Smart Wrap


Okay, this is embarrassing.
With my earphone wires snagging everywhere while I go to and fro about the MRT, I decided that I really needed to get a Sumajin SmartWrap – except that I’m too cheap to buy one. I tried using twist-ties to manage my wiring, but it just didn’t feel right, particularly because of […]

Just when acoustic music is in!


The iLog is sure to become music’s force of nature … literally.

I’ll have a MacWindows please … (and supersize it too!)
