Reflections of parents of not-so-young-kids-anymore

The posts on my MIT trip here are all tagged as ‘Boston’ – but that’s really a bit of a misnomer. Because while all the attractive sites of visitation are indeed in Boston, I’m really living and working in the
The Samsung Galaxy S Android phone from Singtel arrived just within its delivery period yesterday afternoon, and Ling was at home to pick up the package. Curiously, Singapore’s the first country internationally to get the Galaxy. The phone will only
