我愛菲臘

不知是誰開始稱我為「寸嘴女作家」,小妹向來隨遇而安,既然大家畀面,so be it。 但講到寸,我認為全世界最寸的還是英國人,那是一種寸在骨子裏的尖刻,一種高層次的智力遊戲,是英國國粹。

邱吉爾是這種遊戲的高手。有

Convert .MTS file to .MOV or .MP4 on a Mac (for iMovie, etc.)

I recently received a few .mts files from a friend. These files are AVCHD high-definition video files from consumer-grade HD video cameras, and they've traditionally been a pain to work with.

If you have the files on your camcorder or an SD card from your camcorder, you can just open up iMovie '08 or iMovie '09 and click 'import from camera.' It'll take forever to transcode the files into something iMovie can use, but it will work. If


Hare Force One 空BUN一號

上個週末,無意中在 Wall Street Journal 的名人旅遊版中,讀到了Playboy創辦人 Hugh Hefner 的特約專欄,非常有趣。

(有興趣細讀原文的朋友, 可到這裡 。)

文中提及他六十年代的其一奢華生活,就是特別從 McDonnell Douglas 訂購了一架可載著他和他的兔女郎以及一

Abortion

Well, right. Today our professor from Department of Plastric and Reconstructive Surgery asked me (specifically) a question: Do you think abortion is one of the contraceptive methods?

And more directly, what is my view towards abortion?

To give a definite answer, we first need to get a consensus on when do we mean by abortion, in other words, when do we consider a life has begun. The Catholics take this strictest, they thought life started at sperms and eggs, so things become simple - no artificial

你、我、they

不在英美生活,看英語電影或電視節目時又沒有特別留意原裝對白的,可能不知道"they"這個詞用作人稱代詞時,在口語裏已不只是眾數,也可當單數用(相關的"them", "their", "theirs", 和"themselves"當然也如是),例如:

How big our fileserver environment is (part 2)

Yesterday I counted up (or ran down) the hardware side ofhow big our fileserver environment is.Today I'll cover the amount of disk space we have.

Our raw disk space is simple to compute, impressive sounding, and highlymisleading. With four backends of 750 GB disks and five backends of 1 TBdisks, we have 96 TB (of disk vendor terabytes) of raw space available,or 60 TB for the production backends only. However, all of our space ismirrored


A theory on why cool characters wind up being villains

Here is my theory (springing from the aside in the last entry ):

At one point, the heroine of Pumpkin Scissors has to finally grit herteeth and meet her arranged fiancee. There's a lot of ways this couldgo badly for her, but actually he's a cool guy; he's nice, competent,powerful, understanding, and of course it turns out that he's one ofthe lead villains. How predictable .

But let's think of it from the other side


On Otome Youkai Zakuro's foreshadowing

Author :

I may be wrong as usual, but I expect the opposing human-youkai teamto appear and maybe some conspiracy to rule the world thrown in, whichis what the 3 couplings of bumbling lovers are going to face. Heck, I'llguess more: the dude in the mask is probably the adjutant guy who we sawin the beginning of the 1st episode.

The adjutant (he's briefly named as Hanadate) reappears in the secondepisode as the Lieutenant who saves the day by defusing


單程路

曾經一段時間,「脫節」是一個可堪創作的主題。例如一位老人不懂得使用電腦,不懂得打字,不懂得使用手提電話,在整列坐滿日本人的火車之中,每個人都低下頭專注自己的電子產品,打機、聽歌、閱讀、收發短訊,老人呆

Out of Sight

據說此動畫短片,除了熱爆台灣,也在日本引起關注。

雖說此動畫中富幻想力的童真韻味,甚有宮崎駿爺爺的影子,但其水彩繪畫配合手繪的筆觸,很是動人,音樂也配合得實在出色,是有靈魂的作品。

對呀,但凡創作都需要有
