Not really looked at Cartier for pens - I'm not an MB purist, but the ratio of MB to other brands in my small collection.... probably makes me one :)

Check out CoreApp (https://github.com/bsodmike/CoreApp) if you're interested in setting up Cucumber with Guard+Spork for testing along with RSpec. Personally, I will be sticking to RSpec & Capybara, as I prefer Capybara's DSL.

Sure, either as a reference or perhaps a part 2.

Oh indeed. The depth of integration between these services is the only way they will bring some coherence, previously lacking in their ecosystem - we are already seeing this via the action bar at the top. It's a small addition, but if you squint just right, Google's looking like an app...!

Ha, at least it'll be that much nicer knowing you've got the phrase in proper Latin. I'd love to have it on my desk at work, absolutely priceless yet sadly, and aptly, appropriate.

Not too long ago I got this major hampering for a Submariner, GMTIIC SS, or DSSD. It wasn't long before I found myself back inside a Rolex boutique with all of them side by side. For starters, the lack of sub-tick marks around the entire circumference of the ceramic bezel didn't feel right to me and at least for the moment, I've dismissed the Submariner. As I've owned a TT GMTIIC before, I'm no strange to its profile or general look - so I guess my feeling towards it were a tad more biased.

Roll on DSSD - Woah! It was stunning. The size of it was just shocking. There was no doubt that this represented over engineering at its finest but then put it on. What did I take off though? My lowly 36 mm DG 116201. The not-so-subtle weight difference and head flop was well noticeable, as once could imagine. At that moment, I was rather flummoxed as it seems the DSSD was't for me - at the time at least. Besides the head flop though, the curved crystal and bezel are quite simply...unbelievably gorgeous.

So for the moment, I remain undecided. I'm hoping to revisit this conundrum during my next trip to Singapore and pickup whatever timepiece that sings to me then.
