Flip Camcorder Goes High-Def

http://solution.allthingsd.com/20081111/flip-camcorder-goes-high-def/

It's cool about the instant play back idea
but it will be even better if it's a media player (so I can USB stuff to Flip and then play back)...
of course, the screen has to be a bit bigger. Maybe as big as my iPod Video (speaking of that, iPod sucks for that reason... it's so limited with media types!! I dislike conversion... what a time wasted).

I don't know what' the power behind this digitized instrument yet. And, I am not sure if the sound any close to the real instrument.... I guess I missed "watching" myself playing Oboe.

Day 1, 2, 3

Day 1 and 2
I am now officially working for Gaia.

Yesterday, my first day at work, I spent whole day playing!!! How cool is that for the first day experience!! You can't trump that! I dressed up my avatar, polished my profile, and I played the Beta zOMG (which I ended up playing 2 more hours after work). I read a few manga to learn about Gambino.... yea, totally a fresh new user.

Walked around the office yesterday meeting other Gaians. They are super cool... but of course, inside of me, I secretly admire all the artists... OMG, they are super talented. I am fascinated by their skills! Hmm, I wonder if they can draw the cartoon-ized me.

On the 2nd day, I tried to browse / play some more! Instead of finish reading the manga, I started the mini-comic strips... haha, they are funny... my favorite one is "The Spartan Effect" with the disclaimer that I only went through 10~15 of them.

I was a bit anti-social yesterday ... yea, she was shy on her first day. But, it's the 2nd day, she better be active and start to make some friends. Hmmm... seems like there is no way to add friend via user ID? I had trouble adding. After bumping around, finally, I decided to ask for help. O duh, there are buttons at the bottom of the friends list!!!! Dude, can't find any easier way to add friends!

Buttons above or buttons below? One is against the natural flow, and one has the potential to go below the fold... Oops, can't help not to think like an experience designer.

Anyway, ME: " YES!! I have friends on Gaia now. "

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 3
Done done done done done icon_smile.gif
I just completed my 3rd day at Gaia.

Today I did work haha... actually just work related meeting. I love working haha.
Other than meeting, I have done more exploration within Gaia. I actually went into Town to get pick up some trash and did some trick-or-treat (or i just took jelly beans out of their pumpkin mail box). It's fun haha, going around to collect jelly beans.

And, I changed my avatar again~ I went into shops to buy outfit. I bought a silly sumo suit and a snowman suit! I guess I like to pretend things. I don't like them look on me but I don't have enough golds to make my character interesting... dang... I also tried to sell something to exchange for gold. But things that rookies own... sigh~

Ok... that's my day 3 at Gaia....

Most memorable parts (other than team lunch at Chili's) are the meeting! Can't wait to fully launch into my mission!

Unexpected day offs

I am "in between" jobs: I signed off AOL last Friday, and I start my next job next Monday. And this week, I took time off for some dusting. Also, I piled lots of things - *house works*, *errands* - that I need to take care which I didn't have time for those...

so this week, it's the combination and the mix of all of the above.

Despite of how dislike I am to plan for a trip, I really enjoy taking a trip. Especially last time after I came back from San Diego, I felt I was totally relaxed and relieved. Originally, I wanted to take the time to visit Taiwan (and maybe to go to Japan); however, I didn't want to start the new job feeling jetlag. So I changed my destination to Chicago, then Seattle b/c of the air tickets. However, before the week started, I only wanted to make short trips, maybe just a trip to Vally Fair.

On Friday, I came home early after lunch with the UI team. I got home at 2:00pm and went for a big nap. After I woke up from my nap, I went biking to the bank. Even though it was only less than 1 mile, I felt so refreshed and accomplished.

******

On Sat, since my water treading class was cancelled, I went to Great Mall with Ivy and Janice. They have things for themselves, so I actually went shopping alone. I went to Old Navy and H&M and bought $100 worth of clothes. At that time, I felt I have accomplished 80% of my plan even before the week has started.

Sat night I cleaned my room and packed some clothes for storage. I decided to join Ivy to go to Clement & Winnie's house for a sleep over. This way we can wake up later on Sunday morning and still make Sunday worship practice. Dang, that's 90% of my plan for the week.

******

Sunday was a busy day as usual. I didn't sense the "joy" of upcoming day off on the Monday. I just know, I better do something to make my week interesting.

Ann and I were talking about to have a bike trip on Los Alto trail. I felt, that might be a good way to start the week. And Sunday night, she found out we can actually go bandmington at the community center close to her house. I felt that's a perfect plan. So I decided to devote my Monday to "relax style."

We met at 12:00pm after my struggle of setting up bike rack & filling water pack. Finally, we were ready to hit the road. We played bandmington till 2:00pm, then we head to the mexican place next to TGI Sushi. It's soooooooooooo yummy. Biking trip was fun also. Even though I felt it's a bit challenged; and I was actually tired before we got home. I felt really accomplished.

******

Tuesday, Ann and I were going to have a dinner with bunch girls. However, I wanted to go far... I wanted to go 17 miles drive (which was my only LONG trip that I have thought of). So, Ann made me to have to wake up early and leave early.

We left at 10:30am (desipte of I woke up @ 9:00), we went Carmel by the Sea. We went to a corn maze... an easy one; then we had lunch at a French Restraunt @ Carmel by the sea. Finally, we were ready for 17 miles drive... we ended up only have a couple hr for the drive. We rushed through many interest points.

Dinner @ Ann's was fun. We girls had hand rolls. We talked from 9:30-11:00ish at Ms. Su's office. It's very relaxing yet tiring.

******

I didn't just waste my Wed doing local stuff, since it's ONLY Wed. I decided that I would go Santa Rosa, and visit the Sarfari. I called the first thing after I woke up. I causally suggested if I can join the 4:00pm trip. Interestingly, that's the better tour hour for them. So I signed that up.

I first hit the Vally Fair to try to return a bag that I bought a ling time ago. However, since I didn't have the receipt, so I can't even get the store credit. That's 11:30am already. And, I was ready to leave HOME area and head to Santa Rosa.

My first stop in Santa Rosa was Snoopy Museum. I like the museum... however, I felt I might need more time there to finish reading all the comic strips. After the museum, it's 3:30p, I need to hurry myself to the sarfari...

The sarfari was fun. I saw lots of "wild" animals especailly girraffs which I got a close look of them. I left around 645pm and arrive Cupertino at 830pm. I missed the prayer meeting b/c I was so hungry... I only had corn chips whole day... a big bag, but really hungry for other type of food.

******

Thursday / today was a melo day... I wanted it to be this way.... I only went to do a oil change.. and shopped at drug stores... @ night, I went for dinner. I love meeting with friends... :)

ONE last day before the week to end. I have to say, that I kinda become too relaxed... I didn't know what day of the week it was a couple times.... :-p I felt I am stil 90% done from my original plan - I wanted to clean my room more...

Sigh.. weekend is here... busy weekend means .... I should get ready to the work mode.

I have not yet missed AOL (come on, it's hard to be.. since it's a week off.. it's like a vacation). However, I know I will... badly, next week.

Sign Off AOL.

黃舒俊 戀愛症候群

哈哈哈哈
超老的歌 但今天聽到還是覺得很有意思


戀愛症候群

作詞:黃舒駿 作曲:黃舒駿

口白:有許多專家告訴我,他們說,要以理性的態度,談戀愛
   我常想大概這些專家從來沒有談過戀愛,不信,你試看看
   你談戀愛你還會有理性,我想,那大概是假的。

關於戀愛症候群的發生原因 至今仍然是最大的一個謎
不管性別年齡職業體重學歷長相和血型沒有一個人可以免疫
有些專家學者研究後相信 戀愛是內分泌失調所引起
卻有別人認為戀愛屬於濾過性病毒像感冒無藥可救但會自動痊癒
不管你同不同意 自古到今許多例子證明
戀愛不但是一種病態 它還可能是一種變態

一般發病後的初期反應會開始改變一些生活習性
洗澡洗得特別乾淨 刷牙刷得特別用力 半夜突然爬起來彈鋼琴
有人每天站在陽臺對路人傻笑 有人突然瘋瘋癲癲 突然很安靜
有人一臉癡呆對著鏡子咬著指甲打噴嚏 有人對小狗罵三字經
女人突然改變髮型 男人開始每天練著啞鈴
食慾不振歇斯底里四肢萎縮神經過敏發抖抽筋都出現在這時期

隨著病情越來越變本加厲 人會變得格外敏感勇敢和噁心
寫的說的唱的都像天才詩人一般才華洋溢 愈肉麻愈覺得有趣
有人戀愛之後每天躲在廁所哭泣 有人開記者會宣佈戀愛的消息
有人總是喜歡兩個人躲在黑漆漆的地方 像做了不可告人的事情
每天忙著找人算命 挖空心思改變自己 配合對方的習性
把每天都當作紀念日 把自己當作紀念品
每天漫無目的膩在一起 言不及意也覺得好有趣
走著坐著躺著趴著都形影不離 像是兩人三腳又像連體嬰
心裡想的只有愛你愛你愛你愛你 也不管家裡米缸有沒有米
也不管路上有人示威抗議 只管愛你
心裡想的只有愛你愛你愛你愛你 也不管海峽兩岸統一問題
也不管衣索比亞多少難民 只管愛你

經過一段轟轟烈烈熱戀時期 不久就會開始漸漸痊癒
兩人開始互相厭倦 互相攻擊對方缺點 所有甜蜜都隨風而去
然後開始從錯覺和誤解中清醒 驚訝自己為何如此不聰明
為了愛情不管一切 不顧父母朋友姐妹兄弟 開始感到後悔不已
然後開始感到疲憊沉悶氣喘心悸牙痛頭痛夢囈
然後是精神不濟瞳孔放大脾氣暴燥四肢麻痺 終於受不了要分離

雖然結果頗令人傷心 瞭解之後也沒什麼了不起
愛情終究是握不住的雲 只是我想要告訴你
哦~~~~~

在我落寞的歲月裡 妳的溫柔解脫我的孤寂
帶給我深深的狂喜 如此顫動著我的心靈
輕輕訴說愛你愛你愛你愛你 不管是黑夜或是黎明
不管是夢中或是清醒 深深愛你
我要對你說愛你愛你愛你愛你 不管是黑夜或是黎明
不管是夢中或是清醒 深深愛你

多麼幸福 讓我遇見你 嗚..........................

超想看的電影



http://blog.udn.com/sosoabcd/2201899

「痛」(原來是一種說不出口又流不出血的感覺)

當內心的感覺僅剩下嘶吼,理由不再是藉口,隨天空遠去的異次元空間就算我們滑過一百次水道也到達不了;不是說有十台電風扇就可以,不是只要存滿一千兩百塊就足夠,方法都用盡但是童年跟人生都只能有一次。

夢想在校園裡喃喃掠空飛過圖書館的紅色窗簾,圖畫書被風翻閱細讀快樂王子和虎姑婆的故事,魔笛在賣火柴的少女手上滑落;玩具店販賣著愛不釋手的新潮玩具但是得用新台幣去兌換。我們的長大愈來愈複雜,我們的滿足愈來愈困難;幻滅的過程突然在某天就悄悄開始。

靈魂只有兩公克卻載負太多的慾望與哀戚;快樂不成比例地在陰暗的巷弄低聲迴盪。於是寄望著微笑能夠帶來力量,在淺淺的弧度中休止憂傷;依附童年的記憶日漸拉拔茁壯的只有身體而不見得連心智一起。

所以像是任性和賴皮這樣的行為並沒有離開。

帶著疑問在退潮的海邊跳躍通常許多的好奇找不到解答,沉進有塑膠熱帶魚浮游的水缸裡經過五分鐘發現自己不能呼吸;原來夢境和現實之間需要換氣。企圖逃避卻無法真正逃離,後悔長大可是再也回不去。

在我什麼都有可能相信的年紀,在我引頸期盼快點成年的願望裡,突然睡醒就只剩下遍地撒落的無能為力。

男孩幾年之後變成男人,雖然童年妄想觸及的那片藍天依舊搆不到;還可不可以留住一點天真在身上?

大陸尋奇 & 公道杯

星期六傍晚 這裡的中文台就會撥大陸尋奇
雖然只是老片子拿出來播
但是對我來說還是充滿了新的知識!

每一次看到同樣的主播 聽到同樣的音樂
就會想到小時候跟外公一起看電視
痾~~~ 其實是我在看 外公在睡~~~
當然也沒有轉台的餘地 :-p

ANYWAY.... 大陸尋奇是一個很好 background TV
雖然小時後看電視就看電視
沒有邊看電視邊上網或做別的事情的習慣

今天 節目中講到新疆的制酒文化
講到了一個東西
叫做公道杯
還蠻讚的設計
你如果到酒到超過龍頭的話
就會像洗手台水滿過那個洞洞一樣
他就會流出去
超讚的設計!!!



公道杯清代青花製品。杯中央立一老頭,人體內有一空心瓷管,管下通杯底的小孔;管的上口相當於老人胸前的黑痣高度。老頭體下與杯底連接處留有一孔,向杯內註 水時,若水位低於瓷管上口,水不會漏出;當水位超過瓷管上口,水即通過杯底的漏水孔漏光。這種漏水杯民間稱“公道杯”,系根據物理學上的虹吸原理製成。據 說古時人們曾用公道杯對付貪酒者,斟酒如超過高度,則會全部漏光

Passion

How can you find your passion? Bill Zanker has these suggestions for you:

1. Don't think about how you can make money. Money is how you keep score. But if money is your only source of motivation, you will surely fail. Your competitors who are charged up with passion for the business will kick your butt.

2. Don't think about problems, obstacles or competition. When you're thinking about problems by definition your mind is not focused on your passion. Bill Zanker says, "Focus on passion, not problems."

3. Do think about something that excites you, something that you would do even if you weren't getting paid for it.

4. Can't think of anything? Then you've got to start dreaming of things you enjoy doing, people in business that you admire and want to be like. I could be that you are afraid to think of the thing you really want to do because you are afraid you don't have what it takes to do it. If their were no limitations, and you could do whatever you want to do, what would it be?

5. Find something useful to do for others. Think about what you can produce or what service you can offer that is valuable and useful to people and the community. What needs to be improved? What can be done better or more efficiently? What problem can you solve? What needs can you fill? And most importantly ask, Will you have fun doing it?

畫卷徐展 原來是3D超大螢幕

【聯合報╱特派記者陳東旭、記者袁世珮/綜合報導】 讓人看得目眩神迷的奧運開幕式,其中牽涉無數技術細節與精密計算,一度傳出原有「鳳凰點聖火」的設計,因南韓偷拍臨時改變,但相關人員昨天提出解釋,技術問題難突破,只好放棄。

鳳凰夭折…布滿鋼絲不好看

傳出原本的「火鳳凰歸巢」點聖火,因為被韓國人偷拍,北京奧組委緊急變更。但網路傳言可信度不高,以奧運這等規模,臨時抽換橋段茲事體大。在典禮後的央視紀錄片中,證實曾經出現過「鳳凰」的概念,但因為軌道可能布滿鋼絲不好看、又要關場燈,所以這個提案早早排除。

張藝謀昨天也表示,「鳳凰點火」一度在討論中,但不符合國際奧會希望最後一棒由「選手」完成的規定,所以作罷。

五環站立 四萬LED燈傑作

除了聖火,開幕式上還有許多「機關」。例如節目一開始,鳥巢中央奧運五環為何突然出現,其實是四萬多個用LED(發光二極體)組成的卅六公尺巨型五環,早就升上了半空,之後瞬間點亮,最後五環站立,也是同樣的道理。節目一開始,鳥巢中央出現奧運五環,然後緩緩升起,運用的是LED燈組成,總共用了四萬多個LED組成卅六公尺的巨型五環。

接著一幅巨型畫卷慢慢打開,實際上是地面大螢幕一點一點地分段放映,畫卷左右兩個卷跟螢幕咬合,根本沒旋轉,只是平移,像兩扇門一樣,技術人員運用不同線束在不同狀態下發光原理,用LED燈漸次熄滅和點亮,造成旋轉效果。

特殊畫紙 裝電池自動開合

卷幅展開的畫面,其實是長一百四十七公尺、寬卅六公尺,總面積三千二百多平方公尺的三D大螢幕。

據開幕式的技術工程師透露,地面上的畫紙,是真的紙,只是經過了特殊處理、帶著電池,能自動打開、關閉,表演者以特製的墨和塗料在其上作畫。

巨球非球 鋼絲串起九鋼環

最後的巨球是怎麼升上去的?原來,這個「球」根本不是球,它是用特製鋼絲連接成的環,或者說是一個巨型燈籠比較合適。球稱為「九環球」,共有九個鋼環,環與環之間是細網狀的特質鋼絲相連。在地上的時候,它是一串鋼絲串起的環,拉到空中展開,就成了直徑18公尺、八層樓高的球。

So what does the human dolphin listen to before winning Olympic gold medals and breaking world records?

According to the Today Show on 12 August, 2008:

What did I have on today? I think I had Lil Wayne, “I’m Me.” I
think I had that on there

Roger Catlin makes some inferences on 10 August 10, 2008:

Before his 400 meter individual medley in the 2004 Summer Olympics in
Athens, Michael Phelps was listening to Eminem’s “Till I Collapse” on
his ever-present iPod to help him focus. What’s he listening to as he wins gold in Beijing? Nobody has said for certain, but he has said in his own website that he was listening to Young Jeezy at the World Championships in Melbourne. If he was still listening to Young Jeezy in China, the applicable titles might have been:

* “The Inspiration (Follow Me)”
* “Soul Survivor”
* “Tear It Up”
* “Let’s Get It / Sky’s the Limit”
* “Get Ya Mind Right”
* “I Love It”
* “Go Getta”
* “Thug Motivation 101″
* “And Then What”

12/8 Terra weighs in on 8 August, 2008 with some selections from Phelps Hit List on Rhapsody which includes the following tracks:

1. Overnight Celebrity by Twista
2. Burn by Usher
3. Roses by Outkast
4. ‘Till I Collapse by Eminem
5. Smile by G Unit

(news) 燦爛登場 體現中國4大發明

《北京奧運》燦爛登場 體現中國4大發明

更新日期:2008/08/09 08:34 【中國時報 陳志祥/北京報導】

 在北京奧運開幕式的文藝表演中,上篇名為「燦爛文明」,下篇是「輝煌時代」,其實是以中國古代四大發明:指南針、造紙、印刷術與火藥為主旨。從「筆墨紙硯文房四寶集天地精華」開場,再到「青春的畫卷,在無垠星光中向著未來延展」。

 上篇「燦爛文明」是以「畫卷」出場,代表中國文字與造紙技術,所謂「外師造化,中得心源」,天地之間,丹青流敞,水墨暈化;天地氤氳,萬物化醇。一軸長卷中國畫表達出東方美學獨特的時空觀念與哲學精神。

 造紙印刷 傳遞漢字獨特之美

 「文字」展現的是中文「象形指事、形聲會意」,表演單位認為,漢字具有獨特的美,它化天於形象,化形象於符號。小小的符號變幻無窮,包容宇宙萬物。象徵活字印刷表演所出現的「和」字,即傳達中國關於人與人、人與自然之間最古老的理念:「和為貴」。

 「戲曲」表演由鑼鼓、嗩吶與傀儡戲組合,意指「凡音之起,由人心生也。」中國傳統戲曲表演深深扎根在民間百姓的心中。中國地域廣闊,衍生出數百種戲曲。

 「絲路」傳達「山窮水複疑無路,柳暗花明又一村。」出陽關、下西洋架起絲綢之路,路連接空間、接起時間、也接起心靈;路翻越高山荒漠,跨過江河海湖,波瀾壯闊,穿透歷史,連接起東、西方人民之心。

 「禮樂」是在長卷軸上顯示五個朝代的畫作,配上數百名穿著華服的舞者,內容意指「吾師心,心師目,目師華山。咫尺之圖,畫江山萬里;水墨丹青,寫天地日月;盛世強音,頌人間和諧。」

 下篇「輝煌時代」針對中國發明的指南針、火藥而來,率先上場的節目「星光」:大會用「螢光人」表示,這是「新時代、新色彩、新畫卷。」人類幸福,安居樂業為古老的畫卷增添青春色彩;青春的畫卷在無垠的星光中向著未來延伸。

 千人打太極 天地萬物合為一

 「自然」是太極拳的表演,千人打太極也很震撼,觀眾都跟著打節拍,它訴說「天地與我併生、萬物與我為一。人類飛翔的夢想,親近自然的渴望,太極之風,充盈於宇宙之間。」

 而「夢想」更是北京奧運的主軸:「同一個世界、同一個夢想」的具體呈現,大會用一顆有人行走的大地球,再搭配動態影像與周邊的人頭像,最後是莎拉布曼與劉歡演唱「You & Me」的主題曲,意謂「你和我,我們是一家人;我和你,一起創造明天。」

 焰火燃放 壯麗熱鬧襯托盛況

 焰火燃放是北京奧運開幕式的特色,因為中國發明了火藥,北京奧運用了一些新品種,增加高科技的含量,為了增加效果,大會把焰火在「鳥巢」附近布置較大範的陣地,主要是讓更多民眾欣賞到開幕式的盛況和焰火盛況。

 開幕式燃放的焰火數量大概在一萬五千發,周圍奧林匹克公園中心發射的焰火數量也有一萬四千發。為了讓更多北京市民共同慶祝奧運佳節,北京城內的其他區域也跟著配合進行燃放焰火活動,相當熱鬧。

Hmmm :)

It's NOT BAD if I have to work at Google in Taiwan ;)

http://tw.news.yahoo.com/article/url/d/a/080506/78/ylxa.html
"Google 免費提供食物

Google台灣昨慶祝成立兩週年,對媒體公開位於101大樓73樓的新辦公室,享有「百步之內必有食 物」盛名的Google,台灣辦公室也提供免費食物。Google大中華區總裁李開復表示,Google政策是員工超過400人,才有專屬廚師為員工做 菜,Google台灣目前員工60人,仍提供大量免費食物慰勞員工,無怪乎有所謂的「Google 15」,意指平均每位員工進Google後,都胖了15磅。

打開Google台灣辦公室的雙門冰箱,珍珠奶茶、 鮮奶、布丁、優酪乳,會令女性尖叫的Haagen-Dazs冰淇淋,都可以隨便拿,上層一盒盒的外帶餐盒,仔細一看可是鼎泰豐小籠包,Google台灣工 程研究所長簡立峰說,「餓了,微波加熱就可以吃。」還有便利商店營業用的冰櫃,存放各式飲料,小型廚房旁邊就是餐廳,架上滿滿都是零食與礦泉水,吃飽喝 足,可以在73樓的高空美景襯托下打一場乒乓,或坐在太空艙型按摩椅上,徹底放鬆一下。"


But, I might have to hit the gym or Ping Pong table more often!
