Finally my 2007 bonus arrived. Last Christmas, I saw a nice watch at the local jeweler store. It's an Issey Miyake produced watch by the designer TO. And immediately I was captured by the stark simplicity of the design. I promised myself to buy it when my bonus arrived, so last Wednesday, I left work early to stop by the jeweler and now I'm the proud owner of this wonderful new watch.
Watch and see,

Currently there is a big call towards sportsmen not to go to the 2008 olympic games in China, mainly because of the way human rights are treated. There are a lot of issues clouding this issue and they all need consideration before I can state my opinion on it. However, one issue is bugging me and that is that the call is being made to those who had nothing to do with choosing China as the host of the 2008 games. I feels weird that the sportsmen have to suffer from someone else's decision.

I just found out that my beloved Mac Pro had been swapping. This is not to be tolerated, so I went to the shop and treated my Mac Pro, and myself of course, to three packets of four gigabyte of ram. These packets contain two DIMMs of two gigabytes each. So now, together with the four gigabytes already installed, I've got a grand total of 16 GB of ram.
And I'm still amazed at how easy it is to install it. Open up the side, pull out the two memory boards, insert the DIMMS and put the two boards back again. And because the memory riser boards are laying in front of you when you do this, there is now awkward positioning of hands and or readjustments of cables needed to perform this. Very convenient.
