Quarter

Many years ago, a psychology professor showed that he could significantly change people's ratings of their own moods by arranging for them to "find" a quarter on the floor of an experiment room before they made their mood ratings.

A pretty fascinating scenario, you might think. And what better way to go beaming with joy after simply bumping into a coin than manipulating all those complicated molecules like endorphin and serotonin?

But think again. We are simply humans whose ups and downs can be the result of completely inconsequential events

早上起來找一點資料

除了福娃,還有胡佳 ,附國內博客翟明磊的 〈仁者之怒〉 。我尤其無法忘記維權律師郭飛雄,每次我看見他的名字,都觸目驚心:第一次是為太石村村民維權被毒打,第二次就是他妻子 張青致胡錦濤的公開信裡這一段

Different reasons for having comments

Sparked by comments on a recent entry , it occurs tome that there are at least two cultural views of what comments on a blogare there for:

  • comments as a conversation on or sparked by the original entry.
  • comments as a convenient central place where people can put theirreactions and replies to the entry.

印度西部片《Sholay》


Bollywood電影若必屬佳品, 至少要有兩個條件: 好的劇本和一流演員陣容.這套《Sholay》正歸此類行列. 《Sholay》絕不是「西片」(正如有人以「西歌」形容一些奇怪到極的歌曲), 而是1975年Bollywood的大製作, 在Bollywood亦是鼎鼎有名的票房冠

撒嬌

我失寵囉。江記唔鍾意我囉。佢淨係問我會唔會做發佈會主持,都冇話我聽 飯氣劇場《青春炒冷飯》 已經印好!!

The appeal of XML

For a long time, I was not at all fond of XML. The grandiose claims ofuniversal document exchanges, universal editors, and so on were clearlybogus; as lots of people said, understanding the syntax gives you noclue about the semantics. It all smelled of hype and overselling, withXML the latest in a long line of next big things for the enterpriseymarket.

When I do and don't read a blog's comments

I read (or sometimes skim) a relatively decent number of blogs, and assomeone who writes one too I wind up noticing various aspects of theexperience. One of the things I've noticed is that I am both quitepredictable and quite divided about reading comments on entries; thereare some blogs where I always read the comments and there are a lotwhere I never do, but there are almost none where I sometimes read themand sometimes don't.

In thinking about this, I think that there
