Xbox Project Natal

原來大半年前 Microsoft 經已預告了這個完全不用遙控器(而以一個前置的 3D 投影機+攝影機來代替)的未來產品 “Project Natal“。據聞將會於今年內發售。會否隊冧 Wii 仍是未知之數,因為還要看價錢。這樣的科技應該會不便宜吧?





Stay

This is the song “Stay” by Lisa Loeb.  I love this song so much.  It strikes a chord with my soul although I don’t think I could have any experience described in the lyrics.  Perhaps it is the tune or her voice.  Or perhaps it is the movie “Reality Bite“.

It makes me think of Winona Ryder, Ethan Hawk, bad coffee, chain smoking, couch pizza and AIDS (but not much about Ben Stiller or the big mouth girl “Vickie” or the other room mate “Sammy” ~ I don’t even know their real name!). This movie is a 90’s classic. And so as the song.

I am glad that Lisa Loeb is still around (with the same old pair of glasses apparently) and doing well (before I searched for her, I thought she was a one-hit-wonder…)





The Value of the Work

The work earns its true value only after it is shipped (or else, after the artist’s death). Anything before that could be a plan, could be a dream, or could be nothing.

So that’s why I am working hard on it now. See ya later.

同時愛上兩個人

原來「同時愛上兩個人」與「一腳踏兩船」不是同一樣東西。

雖然從沒有如此的經驗,但在我一向的認知當中,愛像一瓶甘露,如要再分給另外一個,原本的人便拿不到全份。一腳踏兩船的技巧是如何將自己「分割」給兩個人而不反艇。

或者是一段感情正慢慢淡出的當兒,剩餘的能量又逐步燃起另一團新火。又或者是同時兼職對待兩個目標。

總之,沒有一個可以得到一個完整的心。沒有人可以同時打兩份正職。起碼我一向都是這樣想。所以我認為趙敏周芷若其實都未算能得到張無忌的真愛。有七個老婆的韋爵爺其實也只愛雙兒一人。

但原來這想法是錯的。愛原來可以是無限大,可以是 “Abundant Resources”,像陽光。曬太陽的人不會埋怨躺在旁的人分薄了陽光吧?

有這個發現,因為我有兩個仔。輪流望著他們,我分不出先後,分不出次序。我對他們的心,不會被攤分。最妙的,是他倆行為、性格、樣子、喜好都是截然不同,但卻都是我的至愛!(註)

註:相信同樣的解釋若出自一個男仔口中,一定會被(兩個女仔是但一個)括其耳光!





Aimee Mullins: The opportunity of adversity

A powerful speech by Aimee Mullins, named one of the most beautiful athlete, actress, and fashion model, without any leg.

Quote:

“The human ability to adapt is our greatest asset.”

About how she feel against the term — “overcoming adversity” “Adversity isn’t an obstacle that we need to get around in order to resume living our life. It’s part of our life.”

“The question isn’t whether or not you gonna meet adversity, but how you gonna meet it.”… … “So our responsiblity is not simply shielding those we care for from adversity, but preparing them to meet it well”.

“Perhaps the existing model of only looking at what is broken in you and how do we fix it serves to be more disabling to the individual than the pathology itself.”
