Quick Summary: I fell in love with the MacBook Pro and discovered that I’m a closet Apple geek.

The third place in my life is not a coffee shop, but my laptop.

This was true even before I stared my off consumption experiment and this has become even more true in the last three months.

My laptop is never switched off. Literally.

I wake up in the morning, flip open my laptop, and connect it to the net. My laptop moves around with me as I get ready for office — it’s in my bed as I drink my first cup of green tea, it’s on my dining table as I eat my breakfast, it even accompanies me to the loo. On bad days, I only manage to read a few of my feeds on Google Reader. On a good day, I manage to write a post or two before it’s time for office. In the evening, it’s a rewind + replay of the same routine, and I have often fallen asleep with my laptop next to me.
