Okay, maybe I’m being dramatic. Waitaminnit, no I’m not. Yesterday’s traffic gridlock in KL was atrocious, maybe one of the worst in my 28 years of living here. With flash flooding, uprooted trees littering the roads, and buses and lorries breaking down right and left, driving through our fair city last night was about as […]

Let me translate that Japanese text for you. What we have here is a USB-powered seat cooler, for those times when the office air conditioning just ain’t doing it for your hot crossed buns, or for after your boss hogs your PC because it’s way faster than his no-harddrive-memory-left, last-time-i-defragged-it-was-when-Movement-was-still-standing computer.
