The other day I was debugging an ASP.NET Application, and I noticed that the build and debug was really slow. I then noticed that my laptop fan was spinning continuously, and that this seemed to be related to the debug session. I stopped the debug, but the fan kept on going like a bat out of hell.

Apple Watch – Well it has happened. I gave in and bought myself an Apple Watch. I initially got one for my wife for her birthday, but I couldn’t resist in getting one for myself too. You might be thinking why would I be writing about it here? To tell you the truth, I am quite impressed with it, especially as a first version.
