iPad 用後感

由於弟弟的公司有一部 iPad 入了手,所以有機會在家把玩一下這部新一代「電腦」。

用後的感覺是螢幕顯示亮麗,所以看戲、看文字、看網頁的感覺都很不錯,清晰銳利。機的效能很好,使用感覺很暢順,而且電量充足。可以說,


史上最恐怖既試相機文 Sony DSC TX-7

當收到email,PR話邀請我,借部相機試玩,然後寫篇感想,第一個感覺係:「玩相機定玩鳩我呀?」

大哥,我根本low tech到冇相機,平時你地見到既相,全部用iphone影的。

Ok,做人要突破固有框框,寫囉,不過預咗你地會笑到我面黃。

吉百利「巧之煉克力師」

很久以前在網誌介紹過吉百利的 猩猩王扮Phil Collions打鼓 廣告,然後又有由兩位小朋友演出的 「戚眉戚眼」 MTV,兩者都是吉百利巧克力的網上短片搞作Glass and a Half Full Productions的作品,一律以娛樂性先行,賣產品次要。

最近,吉百利又有新搞作,

人生音像城

月滿,灣仔

很喜歡岸西的《月滿軒尼詩》,繼《神經俠侶》之後,另一部由「灣仔」擔任主角的電影。

《月》中的灣仔是人情味洋溢的地方,樓上家電倉少東與廚具舖西施的戀情,


音樂+波鞋?真係有得諗! Nike Music Shoes

雖然我的最愛還是adidas original,但Nike+ 跑鞋依然是我的跑步良伴,因為Nike + iPod再幫我計算埋跑程里數卡路里,實在絕到無倫。

就好比少林功夫+足球係「有得諗」一樣,將音樂加入跑步這元素,然後設計出這既有軟件又有硬件的產品,

此港龍不同彼飛龍

站在標誌設計的角度而言,港龍不及飛龍。

但若站在品牌的角度來看,港龍就高出飛龍幾皮。因為,建立品牌不能憑空虛構大空,只有口號標誌沒實際行動更沒口碑,一切也是徒然。

How to write to stderr so people will like you

Suppose that you're writing a command like, say, make ; it writesprogress output to standard output and error reports to standard error,and it doesn't necessarily immediately terminate when it encounters anerror (or prints a warning; the important thing is that it keeps runningafter it prints things to standard error).

Salary

At a recent coffee time, with my colleagues, the conversation turned to the salary within our department.

Any time the word salary is part of a dialogue, it's a taboo. After all, asking our friends about their salary is virtually the same as (and probably more impolite than) asking their age. That being said, we all want to know others' age and salary, as what Tom Sawyer's great law of human action had predicted, "In order to make a man covet a
