Siemens introduces MacBook Pro modified with Ultrasound capability

Siemens has just introduced their new P50 laptop that’s designed for cardiology and vascular applications. They say it "considerably simplifies and accelerates the workflow in echocardiography and vascular diagnosis".

That said, the interesting thing is that they’ve decided to use Windows as their platform. Haha.

To Reuben.

When we read the news, it’s always full of tragedy. But ever so often, one will strike closer to home, maybe even closer to heart. A few days ago was one such day when I found out that amongst the 5 dragonboaters that perished, 3 were friends of a good friend of mine - 1 being his best. It moves me so much to see him as he is today trying to remember and trying to immortalise the memory of his friend - Reuben Kee.

I never really knew him although I have him as my facebook ‘friend’. We were both playing BattleStations and he added me as a ‘trading partner’. So it was somehow sad that in some way, we were connected. It was sadder still to see his blog being updated only several days before his competition.

It reminded me of the fragility of life. It reminded me that one day, someone close to me would also be lost…

Yet it reminds me that life must be lived. And while many others deserve mention, I’d like to dedicate this entry to someone I, somehow, would have loved to know. He did so much in his lifetime.

While it is sad that he is gone,
While the time to come is meant to mourn
Let us also remember
Let us also celebrate
That while he was here,
He truly, fulfillingly and inspirationally
Lived.
To Reuben.
