Introduction

Aka, the "Hi, my name is…" portion

--------------------

Thank you so much for being part of SBF, and part of the I.T.inerary forum. This sub-forum was indeed created by bikers, for bikers like us.

 

I didn't know that you can make calls with an Andriod (is that how it's spelled?) tablet. I swear I saw somebody did a "facepalm" of his Samseng Galactica Tablet on his face talking to his girlfriend. I dunno whether I should look at him in awe, or do a facepalm.

 

Year end is coming, so if you ride a nice cruiser/adventure/sports bike, and being tech savvy you also bring out your phones or tablets, make sure you keep them nice and dry in ziplock bags or even recyclable plastic bags. As one colleague points out to an Ang Moh:

 

"The rain in Singahpour not like in America. Every raindrop is big big one"

--------------------

 

"ITinerary" updates

--------------------

Hiatus - everybody hates it. It means no newsletter for a long time, what happen? But sometimes we gotta work and study la. So suck tumb.

 

Don't worry, there will be big navigational changes in the works. I'm planning something. No, not a lucky draw - i still gotta earn my keep - but I promise that this section will be as good, layman, and sometimes cheeky, so that you can enjoy reading up stuff here in ITinerary.

What's Hot

--------------------

Windows 8 launches today, no more "Start Menu"

Microsoft wants you to use Windows in a different way; does anyone know how to use it? http://bit.ly/SbciCW

 

Apple releases iPad Mini (read: shrunken version of iPad 2)...

Also, the thin 13" MacBook Pro Retina, iPad 4 (read: same old iPad 3 with a slighly faster processor and that small lightning plug connector like the iPhone 5 has) and other nice 'thin' things: http://on.mash.to/S02GaS
