《公正,该如何做是好》

May 16th, 2011 by Andy No comments »

哈弗的政治哲学入门课程。教授Michael讲的非常生动易懂,却也富含深刻的意义和无穷的问题。在第一堂课,Michael就告诫所有在场的学生,学习哲学存在的个人风险,那就是你将可能改变你对原有一些已知事物的看法,并且这样的改变的是不可逆,就如我们已经逝去的童年。探讨哲学并不会让人的生活更“幸福”,就如苏格拉底的好友对他的劝诫。很多网友感叹,如果中国的大学教育也能像这样,那该多好。庆幸的是我们生活在这个科技发达的时代,搜狐的视频速度和质量也是相当不错的。

Google I/O 2011有感

May 14th, 2011 by Andy No comments »

能够参加一次Google的大会一直是我的一个心愿,在今年有幸参观Google在Mountain View的总部后更加强烈。希望有机会吧!

兴致勃勃的看玩了今年的Google I/O. 我想至少一半以上的CIO都会可以考虑在明年的预算中把常规PC采购和维护的预算置换成ChromeBook了。每月$28的费用还包括硬件的升级,如果是我自己的公司,怎么都会换了。Google这一次真正的发力了,他的目标和苹果不一样,他对准的是商业用户。这样的模式是要革很多人的老命的,但是没有办法,当演讲者介绍最新嵌在Apps中的的支付方案并宣布Google Apps Store对于开发者只收取5%的费用时 (某些水果收到30%),我从台下雷鸣班的掌声中已经看到了一个清晰的未来。那些服务提供商和程序开发者的心早已倒向了天平的另外一边。

P.S 当中出来介绍Chrome OS的小伙子是个中国人,叫Kan Liu,觉得和自己长得好像,出场的时候吓了我一跳:) 呵呵。

对了,愤怒的小鸟依靠WebGL马上登录浏览器了,并支持离线。

Writing this post using Chrome on my Mac, I hope I can do it on Chromebook since 6/15 :)

从按兵不动到按捺不住

最近发现了一个网上购买电器很便宜的网站,库巴(http://www.coo8.com/)国美旗下的电子商务平台,比较了一下京东,新蛋和Amazon,发现其价格优势很明显,或许是刚推出的缘故吧。另外沃顿的这篇文章也很好的诠释了目前中国电子商务的一个现状。

SORROW looks back, WORRY looks around, and FAITH looks UP

上苍还是待我很好,他感到我的疼痛,于是选择在早晨给我了良药。感谢我的好朋友Peter,从远方给我带了我需要的东西。虽然只有一面之交,却已注定了两个人的友谊。

“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.”

Andy when i read this, i thought of you and heck, me too
this is in some ways me – the attitude i have always had with the users and all the IT people i had the privilege of meeting day after day at UL
No matter the kinds of viruses and trojans, the 1st thing i always did with any person infected, i told them they were not at fault – i made them feel at ease and safe in my hands and that they would help me most if they stayed with their computer and helped me get the bugs out
every person i worked with became my friends both the users and the IT people and language barriers, i found ways around my limited capability by using translator programs or just by pictures of things we talked about – or even just finding another who wrote their dialect
and always no matter who they were, i always thanked them for their time and for their help
sure, it did not help me keep my job, but most of the dozens of friends i made, continue to ask how i am doing – even now after being unemployed from UL for over 14 months … and on lucky days, some of you from far away, have a meal with me which is good for friends, even the nuttiest of them – me
it is my meaning of life – to always greet everyone with love, not a chip on the shoulder, not hate, not that they are different color, or speak language i not know, and religion is each individuals right and why would it matter that they were born poor and that they are woman and that they may be fat … each human has the right to be who they choose to be and i am just one of the many and i try not to change others to be like me, Except to learn to be tolerant and to love openly and to smile even as the bullet stops my life for death is not the end … the end is having No friends
always be kind to all others, for each of us has hard battles we endure
