Ladies and gentlemen, meet Shep.
Shep is my new MacBook.
Shep is very, very pretty.
Shep is all-powerful and kind of godlike.

Shep is also a tiny bit scary because he can access the internet even when I’m [...]
At around 3pm last Sunday afternoon you may have heard a shrill squeaking sound emanating from somewhere in the vicinity of West London.

Hurrah! I also found the time to watch the film Transamerica, which I loved, mostly because it made [...]
I need help.
