An expensive day: MacBook, iPhone, GPS and communications system for the bike
Today was one of those days… I’ve been planning to make these purchases for a while and I just took the time to do them at the same time. My 2-years old Windows Mobile phone was showing its age. Since Microsoft hasn’t released anything compelling yet in the user experience front (I am hearing that…
