Happy Feet

Mumble is an emporer penguin. He has a unique talent for tap dancing, but singing was the only important ability in the society whick he grows up. His special ability isn't appreciated by his colony and considered as a deviance. By a series of episodes, Mumble finally found himself from another penguin colony.

However, that's not the main story. I recommend you to watch this animated film intensely. This probably the best animated file in 2006, I think so at least.


Multitouch Screen

If you've tried or seen the recent mobile phone release by Apple Co. - iPhone, and you may notice it has a newfangled feature that allows users manipulate its interface quickly, easily and conveniently. And now here shows you the original technology behind the gorgeous feature.


The Coming Winter Vacation

The semester ended this morning. Although the final examination is a devil, I still feel relaxed. Classmates and I said goodbye each other in the normal way as if we'll meet tomorrow again. However, they couldn't gloss over their overjoyed mood.

What is my plan of this winter vacation? Besides playing all day, it seems to be the time to start my special topic. There're a great deal of technical documents stack in my task list and wait for me to read them. It'll be enough to spend half of my vacation on.


iPhone

An iPhone complete interface presentation

After iPod, APPLE Co. released another amazing product - iPhone. When the breaking news announced few days ago, there are many discussions on tech forums, personal blogs and famous fashion onine groups. iPhone certainly makes up a mobile phone revolution!

iPhone has a big touch screen (maybe 5 inches?) but only a visual button. Wow, how a fashionable design. Besides its appearance, iPhone also has a gorgeous operating interface, users would easily know how use it without an instruction because of the humanized design.

Do you want to have one? Unfortunately, it'll cost a buyer $499 at least. I think I'd rather buy a PlayStation3 instead. :)

Flushed Away

Certainly, this is a movie for children. A noble rat, Roddy, lived in his own world. He has TV, car, sumptuous clothes and various entertainment, but without families and friends. One day, a dirty came from water pipe change his life! Roddy was pushed into stool and went to the rat city. Accidentally, he was involved in such a conspiracy headed by a frog. The flag wanted to kill all rats living in sewer and build his own city. However, we could just guess what happen next, Roddy came to ruin the frog's plan and saved the whole city... of course, a love episode won't be forgotten in a classical Hollywood film.

However, there is still lots of humorous lines and plots which could make audiences a great fun.


A Battle of Wits

Well, I don't think this movie is worthy for people spent money and time to watch it. Although it has nice scenes, I can't find valuable point in this movie. It's just another expensive movie after all.


網誌新氣象

話說這個網誌的樣式花了我許多心思與時間來設計,但久了還是會看膩同一個樣式;等期末考過後,就動手將這個網誌的樣式換換新裝,當作2007年的新氣氛也不錯。


用英文的原由

竟然一堆人向我建議返回過去使用英文撰寫的習慣,竟然都已經三人成虎,我不得好好思考到底要怎麼樣,雖然這只是一個不注意的個人網誌。

2005年五月,我的第一篇網誌發佈在Live Space,都是使用英文來紀錄一些名言佳句,或寫一些對科技、健康新聞的心得。當時只不過純粹寫給自己高興,沒有什麼人看。一年後轉移一個網誌系統,試著寫些自己的日記以及生活感觸,並且公開給親朋好友,但是英文就還是沒人看(我有在做surfing analytics),連住在國外等著華僑的Darren兄也不給點面子... 。總之,當初用英文寫日誌可沒什麼練習英文的用意。

而後來經過高人指點,我的基礎英文實在爛徹底。畢竟,沒有人指導,純粹寫寫網誌不能增加自己的寫作能力,所以就想再轉型一次,用中文來寫,結果不但節省不少時間,也讓網誌熱鬧起來。反正英文應該不會這樣子就荒廢掉,我想,等到我大學英文修完再說吧!

哈,也是啦 中文一下看完了,不用拐個彎,你可以中英文並陳啊。

期末考要到了... 沒那美國時間中英文一起來,我不想唸五年級啊~


CSI影集的啟示

People make assumptions.

That's the problem.

Crime Scene Investigation Episode 1.9 - Unfriendly Skies

人總是喜歡做假設,只因為某人在看手錶,就認為他在趕時間;只因為某人朝自己家裡窺視,就認為他意圖闖空門;只因為某個小孩朝著長輩喊叫,就認為他不尊重。那些人懶得思考,沒有創意,永遠依賴存在已久的觀念。

這樣看起來,心智有如一片薄紗的小孩們似乎還比較懂事,因為他們沒有太多的人生經驗,無法將之套用在每一個自己遭遇的變數上,而是嘗試探索與學習。


下個比爾蓋茲將在哪裡?

根據這篇報導,有一半的美國人相信下個比爾蓋茲將誕生於亞洲。

我認為,這個人是台灣人的機會微乎其微,就算有,也應該不會是受台灣教育長大的。


計算機「英文」課

今天的計算機網路課發生有趣的事情,教授一上課就發下一張考卷。老實說,我有點迫不及待考考看這科,但考卷的題目卻令我極度詫異!

Translate the following setence into Chinese: (You could use English if you're not a Taiwanese and don't know writing in Chinese)

"After the link is established and authentication (if any) is successful, the connection goes to the networking state."

我戳了戳隔壁不大熟的同學,「請問,這堂課是『計算機網路』嗎?」

「是啊!」,他接著低頭寫著他的考卷。

... 糟了!我的期末考危險!


我也要這種「忙」

老媽在區公所的工作結束了,據她自己的說法,覺得公事繁忙,總是要操勞好一陣子才能結束每一天的事務。因此在台北市政府頒給她工作優良獎項之後,她就選擇自動辭職了。

我心想,「喔?她終於可以放點心思做個家庭主婦了?」,於是我問,「所以妳有什麼計劃,來代替妳之前工作的時間?」

老媽則是興高采烈地說拿著一本筆記簿給我看,「你看,星期一到六早上太極拳,週二週四瑜珈,週三週五舞蹈,還有書法... 很充實呢!」

是啊,真充實呢!不是嗎?


Blog 網誌

For some reasons, I decide to write my blog in Traditional Chinese. It doesn't mean that I've been tired or become to hate wrinting in English but I think I should learn basic English grammer or structure anew as if a pupil knowing nothing about English.

If my English ability had passed an exacting examination one day, it'll get back.

基於一些原因,我決定使用繁體中文來撰寫網誌。那並不代表我已經倦怠或開始厭煩用英文來寫,而是我將像個完全不懂英文的小學生來重新學習基本英文文法及結構。

一旦我的英文能力通過某個嚴格的考驗,它將會回來。
