Reciprocity

The psychology professor Robert Cialdini keeps saying that reciprocity is the most powerful of all the forces that influence behaviour - give what you want to receive. The Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany just reported a study that makes this very point.

The Social Network



Oh yes, it is David Fincher again.

I remember well that when I was in form 5, I wrote my first movie review on Fincher's legendary Fight Club for my summer project. I spent quite some weeks studying the plot and reading all the trivias, and was then caught by this amazing director.

Reviewing my VCD shelf at home, most of his collections are on it.

Nikon FM2+ZF 50 1.4 小試

買回了Nikon機械經典FM2,都沒什麼機會去試試。有空加上md12電子過片匣,就拿去樓下的公園打了一筒正片,一來試下測光的準繩道,二來看看ZF 50mm 1.4在菲林上的表現。拍正片就更能了解效果了,事實證明,相是很不

高處不勝寒 – 社交網絡

以戲論戲,《社交網絡》的故事說得很好,一個天才為了表現自己與別不同,為了已分手的女友而建立了 Facebook。但技術再複雜,也不夠人事複雜。一方指控他抄襲,另一方多年好友則因錢財與他決裂。他大概沒有想過作惡,但各種

Lubitel 166+ X 三家村第二回

在網上看到交換重曝的菲林玩法,相當過癮,急不及待就和無敵兄試一下,不過有點出乎意料的,他用黑鳥雙鏡6x6(135)格式拍片,我用了645(120)格式拍,結果影像交疊在一起,大家都用lomo相機,沒怎留意到

訓兒七絕

有些簡單的做人處事原則,我一有機會便提醒兒子,像向他「洗腦」似的,希望他終於會自然而然身體力行,將來便較有機會過充實而有效率的生活。剛才想到這事,忽然興致到,便寫了首七言絕句的打油詩,用來訓兒:

iPod Nano搖身變iWatch

數個月前,當最新一款的iPod Nano推出時,我們已可從網上不時見到,一些將這正正方方的iPod變成腕錶的周邊產品出現。

An opaque trick is one where the reader stares at the code and has noidea what it does. Either they don't understand the operations, orthey don't understand what the results of doing the
