What did you give you wife for her birthday?

Answer: An account on my home laptop!


Not quite as lacking in imagination and generosity as you might think though. We are embarking on a new patio and path around the house along with some additional savings plans. Dena's current laptop sucks- the screen is missing certain colors and the whole thing just groans along.

Why do I have a home a laptop and a work laptop- due to the fascist though perhaps correct ruling of ARM's COO. I am not allowed to have legally purchased, legally licensed software on laptop unless ARM bought it. C'est La Vie. So I bought a home laptop for blogging, photo/video editing and music back in January.

Looking at my home laptop usage compared to the insane amount of time I spend on my work laptop I concluded it is underused so I am happy for the Mrs to make use of it.

And what she also got was a license to have Fiona's photos taken by Cindy Gilmour lifestyle photographer who has been with us since we got engaged. Cindy is great but never cheap!
