程翔案

資深傳媒人程翔今天在北京法院被裁定犯間諜罪判監五年 中國審訊方法被各方批評守舊封閉 記者協會嚴明此舉大大打擊新聞自由 程先生是否間諜其實連當事人都未必知 當記者的天職根本就是揭露社會不為人知的事 不能只懂從建制中取得訊息 因為所取得的訊息都是經過過濾粉飾的 比較資深的記者雖然應該有能力判斷資料是否機密 可是當你有D 獨家料 涉及公眾利益 但係機密 我相信一個記者依然會登 所以這單程翔案 最關鍵係究竟程翔有沒有售賣資料給所謂的台灣機構? 我曾經跟一位 台方兩岸組織的高層談過 他斷然否認台灣曾有聘請程翔為他們的間諜 雖然這個不能全盤證明沒有其他人對他輸送利益以求中國機關情報 我覺得大陸當局 應該並不牴觸國家機密的情況下 將交易證據公開 如果唔係 這種案永遠會係冤案 因為被告永遠唔會認罪 而你告人又閃閃縮縮 呢個機制點令人信服?

Children

Ok. Tonight I really went swimming. Now, my niece is crying and my nephew is probably changing. I am 25 and I got these little kids around me. I am now in my cousin's place in suburban Taipei town called Tucheng. The pools here run til midnight and what I thought I would want to do here after the trade show was fully accomplished, with the help of my swim suits and googles (goggles). It's actually 12am now and the kids are still awake. I can tell my little niece is tired from her face. Back in the pool, I kept bulling my nephew and he liked to play with me. It was actually a real fun to have them. Well, I don't look odd carrying two kids out on the street and actually someone thought I was the husband of my cousin, although she is 30. (j/k) But I know having kids is something more serious than playing with them. So I don't think I am too ready to do it.

Taipei

Taipei, here I am again. I am actually extremely tired but just don't feel like taking a shower. Just had some nice chatting with a cousin about life and felt we were back in mid-teens when we would chat til dawn. i told him i know i should start doing something big for myself instead of spending time on money. one thing i really want to do is actually getting back in shape but this would require myself quitting the job and losing all the stress along with it. this is not possible. but since september i will be living alone in cosmos taipei i will have time to think over things. perhaps this will be a turning point in my life. afterall, taipei is an insipring city. riding on the airport shuttle on flyovers between buildings topped with dazzling led signs, and looking out of the window at sizable roads, you feel like you are in a big city. This moments of thoughts was disrupted by false alarm triggered by smoking kids. went down and found out people don't always understand me in mandarin (what is false alarm said in mandarin?)

我與一個同事的無聊對話

carol says:
nono.. i dun very open to targets
大雄走了 says:
open to good targegts
大雄走了 says:
targets with synergies
carol says:
dennis is hunger for girls, he said but denied to elaborate further.
大雄走了 says:
and he will pay visit to taiwan to look for targets.
大雄走了 says:
"i'm quite serious," he said.
carol says:
when wentao was suggsted, dennis responded, wentao is a nice guy.
大雄走了 says:
but he added that wentao is not a girl, so he won't consider.
carol says:
in response to dennis comment, wentao said, i can never turn CEOs to gay.
大雄走了 says:
he added:'' so as reporters"
carol says:
In early reporter by this news, wentao is not gay but .... ?
大雄走了 says:
but later. sources close to wentao said he does not rule out such opportunities
大雄走了 says:
when asked about the speculation, wentao said;'' i do not comment on market rumors."
大雄走了 says:
but he said he is always on the lookout for good opportunities.
carol says:
wen felix was suggested as dennis's potential targets, Dennis responded that felix eats too much and will possbiliy cannot support the living.
大雄走了 says:
dennis said felix should rather merge with carol instead of dennis.
大雄走了 says:
felix and dennis are hong kong-based men, and carol is listed hong kong australian citizen.
carol says:
carol then responded, if carol is to merge, she would prefer to merge with CEOs in Guangzhou & melbourne w/o citing the company name.
大雄走了 says:
felix cannot be reached for a comment.
大雄走了 says:
but share price of felix surged amid rumors that he may soon merge with carol.
carol says:
felix cannot be reached for a comment, because he is in the kitchen searching for FOOOD.
大雄走了 says:
despite repeated accusation that he may merge with one guy and a woman
carol says:
there are rumors that wentao, dennis may form a JV family.
大雄走了 says:
but dennis immediately dismised the rumor, saying he will never partner with a guy
carol says:
Wentao responded, "i can never turn ceos to gay".
carol says:
wentao never claims that he is a STRAIGHT GUY.
大雄走了 says:
analysts suggest that the unclear statement indicates that wentao is very open.
carol says:
nor did not say he is a gay guy either
大雄走了 says:
one analyst even suggested wentao should merge with felix.
carol says:
another analyst responded wentao, felix and dennis should merger, because 3 of them are hunger for partners.
大雄走了 says:
dennis said he has no timeframe.
carol says:
so as the other 2 targets.
carol says:
whether the three should merge remained a mistery.
大雄走了 says:
and one analyst suggest carol should get back to work

Stephen Hawkings question

These two questions attracted the attention of hundreds of thousand people to Yahoo! Answer. Apparently, Hawkings threw this question and said he doesn't know the answer.

The questions were:

How can the human race survive the next hundred years?
In a world that is in chaos politically, socially and environmentally, how can the human race sustain another 100 years?

Here comes the best answer chosen by Yahoo!:

"Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

Political and social chaos has been with us for a very long time. Given the revolutions of the past and present, class warfare, and scheming of those seeking power, the human race has shown a remarkable resilience and managed to survive thus far.

The new factors in the equation of the balance of mankind and the rest of nature are the technological advances that have changed how political and social chaos can develop, and the advances in industry that have the potential to inflict serious environmental alterations. Threats of nuclear war, biological catastrophe, and climate change now bring into question as to how humanity can continue to survive.

Personally, I think that with the growth of true threats to survival, there has been growth of human ingenuity as well. We have yet to release a Frankenstein's monster of technology upon the world. Despite the stockpiles of nuclear weapons, there has been no global warfare. Medical research is in a renaissance of advance. Climate change remains a concern, but I believe that we are an adaptable species, as we have adapted before and will again.

The larger question is how will humanity survive, which is what is asked. It's very likely that the resources of today may no longer be available in a century. But consider the resources available today that were not available a century before. As stated before, we are an adaptable species, and when one window of resources closes, it's likely that other windows will be openable.

Of course, the speed that everything progresses at has increased. Will we be able to adapt in time? Perhaps not for a lot of us, but consider that in the 14th century, the Black Death wiped out over a third of Europe's population. Yet Europe survived and prospered. We may again have a catastophe that has similarly devestating effects, but I feel confident that after the catastrophe, humankind will prosper.

Why do I place this faith in humanity? Because I must. Without the belief that we will continue to grow and overcome the pains of social chaos as we mature as a species, we might as well not have any faith at all. I'm not talking religion (although that may or may not be a part in its current forms), but simply the same belief that we will survive just as much as the sun will rise the next day. "

Joe Banana

原來香港都有好平既吧 昨天跟同事去了灣仔謝霏道間Joe Banana. Happy hour一pint 啤酒先果20 蚊 cocktail 仲係25蚊 而且happy hour 到十點 雖然人稱呢間係gogo bar 但係我果班有男有女應該不會有問題 下次同D同學找地方飲野又多一個選擇

跟注去左史丹頓街間 Barco 有個舊同事生日 見到一D以前既同事 同埋以前未見過既同事 不過因為有common friend所以都見過好多次啦

地下天文台

原來古巴有獨裁政權 黎巴嫩有真主黨 香港都有一個地下反政府組織 -- 地下天文台

天文台昨天因為經濟理由拒絕發出八號颱風訊號 組織發言人猛批政府非理性亂發颱風訊號 使市民嚴重低估颱風威力

昨天多處地區紀錄得烈風 暴風 甚至颶風程度風速 天文台稱堅持守則 後來被傳媒發現只考慮維多利亞港風力作為懸掛風球時的因素 看來 此事將會繼銷售稅之後 成為打工仔最關注的民生問題之一 相信如果地下天文台組織八號風球關注組 好多人都會參加

機場出現風切變 有三千多名乘客被逼停留在機場禁區 我就有親戚從台灣來到香港才知道到大陸的飛機取消了 如果兩地機場有較好的溝通 他們便有較多的時間決定是否延遲行程

當國泰宣布即時停飛所有航班到翌日九時 機場旅客發現需要為自己打算晚上居所的時候 酒店迅速的爆滿 我幫親戚們找 亦只找到 一家油麻地的賓館 但已經收500元一晚了 結果我父母親飛身到他們喜愛的中國旅行社訂了一家銅鑼灣的酒店 要700多元 事情才解決

這件事絕對損害了 香港國際機場了公信力 我有有理由相信 下一年 全球最佳機場的選舉中 昨天的狀況將會成為考慮因素當中
