Elevator Ride
... is interesting here in Beijing.
I don't like it though.. because its such a pain.
I can never time myself correctly b/c elevator arrives in between of 20 sec ~ 3 min; and the ride can be from 20 sec ~ 1.5 min. Maybe because I am not in a rush, I found myself enjoying watching people during my elevator rides.
It's interesting to see people waiting for elevator in the office building. They came in bunch... sometimes they chat with each other, sometimes it's just quiet. Since it's in China, since it's in office building... there is no line. People are just rushing in and out of the elevator. They came in quickly, push a button (or yell out a number), then stood orderly.
Maybe the elevator is so hard to get... people don't care how "pack" the elevator is, they will try to fit in until it's full full. Me being an American had to constantly put arms around my chest to create a space for myself. I tried to hold my breath sometimes so I don't have to breath in or breath at people in front of me.
Interestingly, people when they reached to their floor, instead of saying excuse me to get out... they yell out their number of the floor to get out... "20" then people would get out of their way.
Morning time... the elevator is very slow... it probably stop every other floor if it's not every floor. It's a little better in the afternoon, because people all head to one place...! Another thing I have noticed is.... people come and leave very ON TIME :)... Sigh, people rush in and out of office... life~!
Since the elevator is in the middle of the building, there is no stair immediately next to it... so, once you entered elevator space, you HAVE to take it... man... I miss stair now.. and I am definitely miss Mt. View's 3 floor building.

Recap Day 3 @ Beijing
Tuesday, April 22, 2008
Jet lag is a bit better.
Because of a NyQuil, I woke up early and felt hungry. I decided not to wait for anyone any more. I went to 2nd floor restaurant by myself... but I found Violet and Render. I got to eat do-hua.. YES! Even though they don't have the syrup, I was so happy when I got it :) I also had some soy milk.. it's very yummy. Other stuff are OK... I am still more of an american :p I had bacon and ham as my main dish!
I got to work at 9:10a. We were late for 10 min to our meeting: China Portal walk through. It's supposed to be a 3-hr meeting. But, we were only half way done at the 3hr mark! OMG, this is like UI / content / code Review. It's actually a good thing to do. Render sat down with the team and go page to page to review it. BUT, OMG, there are lots of pages / channels.
Food in Beijing
We went to a place like Yoshinoya for a quick lunch (yes, the meeting continued). My Beef Rice was ok, but the Taro Soy Milk was good! OK, my hope was in the Beijing Duck tonight.
At roughly 3:30pm, we are done with the meeting. My brain was toasted. I didn't want to do anything but sleep at that hour! I went online chat'd with Alex.. the only guy that's awake at the hr.... well, he went to bed not long after that.... So, I had to deal with the tireness and loneliness with .... UI work!!! At 5:10pm, Violet and I were ready to head out to shop for snack (for ourselves).
We went back to hotel to drop off the laptop. We went to Pharmercy to get DRUG first... o man, I was sooo happy when we got it... We then went to Watson, and then the Lotus Supermarket.... as soon as I got in, I saw 糖葫蘆！！！！！ I wanted it since last time I was in Beijing.
Anyway, dinner time, we went to Made in China (長江一號）a restaurant inside of the 君悅 hotel. I really like the decoration of the place. They have open kitchens inside the place: each station cook different part of the meal.
Wine bottles at the entrance,
Tea pots follow,
Fruits and cake...
then cooking wares (oops, no photo). The food was good... but very little :(....
I took a night pill and then went to bed.. cough cough.. I was really tired today!

Digital Picture frame
For every terrible mockup we see, there's a few that stand out -- and it looks like that Digital Polaroid frame concept we spotted a couple weeks ago caught some eyes over at Polaroid as well, because the company has apparently contacted designer Dave Friedman and is working on making it a real product. That's a pretty fitting tribute to a classic gone by -- but we won't be appeased unless you can shake this thing to make new photos appear.That's a post from http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/polaroid-to-shake-instant-digital-photo-frame-into-reality/
I really like this idea even though:
"David Friedman, the concept's originator, got in touch and let us know that "I wish [it] were the case, but unfortunately the first I heard of this was earlier today in a post on Stuff Magazine's website. ... So I think this still goes in the "rumor" category for now."
Hmm, what if....
we can have a picture frame.. polaroid style or not.. it's supported by an interface that people can add caption to it. And the picture frame itself will process all those writing and put it in the bottom (the white area).
Even better, I felt today digital picture frame is kinda "dumb" idea because you have to plug it in and turn it on for display. No one will keep that on always.. or plug in when guest show up. MY SUGGESTION is... to have it support by solar power :)... probably need some battery to keep powering the device. Technically, it's challenge. But, it made the perfect sense. When guest comes, we want to turn the light on and show the picture... even better, we can have some sort of "gallery treatment"
[see picture here]
Or we can always have a switch to "strength the power" if people actually are viewing!
DONE!
