Money Talks – Bullshit Walks
Personal bits and pieces
Here’s what’s perceived by my brain after a busy day via lensbaby.
Phonopaper is the coolest app so far. It takes photo from the waveform on paper and generates sound!
More day time random shots with Lensbaby Double Glass in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong
怒漢Loud Zone推介由日本樂隊Golden Bomber主唱的「成龍很酷」，佢嗰MV對成龍嘅tribute拍得真係十分認真，好勁！不過成龍對我來講就只係小丑一個。

There is a nice story about this UK 1939 WWII poster resurrected recently and getting popular. Here’s the story behind “Keep Calm and Carry On”

祝大家身體健康，財源廣進，心想事成！
This is the first year with my own new family member, my little gal. She’s enjoying the holiday spirit very much even under the chilling temperature.
The year of dragon is set for baby boom everywhere particular in Hong Kong with people coming across the border everyday legally and illegally. Hope things could turn out alright for the locals (@_@)
The first news in the morning is Steve Jobs has passed away at the age of 56. That’s sadden my whole day.
I’ve been fascinated by the colorful Apple logo since I was very very young. Back then computer means either IBM or Apple, but Apple computer is what I ever wanted. It’s different. It’s stylish & fun. Well at least that what I perceived when I was 7, looking at the colorful logo comparing to IBM’s. However, getting a computer was way expensive than most families can afford in 80’s.
My first computer lesson was with the Apple ][e doing some basic programming. I was 11. It was fun to know that one can create something with BASIC. That was so interesting. Since then I was hooked on computers, and Apple. That moment, I wanna do programming when I grow up.
Fast forward to 90’s. I finally had my real computer, a Mac Iici. It was an amazing computer. It can do things that you can’t imagine with an IBM clone!
Typing stuff with Microsoft Word, drawing stuff with Adobe Illustrator for my father, and playing with Hypercard, the former life of the web, on System 6. Controlling everything with a mouse was so cool! Everything is so different than the so-called “main stream” and that’s how I like it. I just love Macintosh & Steve Jobs.
There are plenty moments that I was blown away by Apple & Steve Jobs, and Pixar all these years. The Mac, OS X, iPod, iPhone, iPad, and etc.
And I felt particularly connected with the Think Different campaign.

Attending the MacWorld Expo Tokyo in 2001 gave me the closet encounter with him. However, this is the one & only encounter that I can ever have now.
He’s been my hero since I ever know about computers, a true innovator, and the god of demonstrations. He’s part of the reason for what I’ve become, a web and iOS developer now.
RIP Steve Jobs. You’ll be missed forever as the world has missed its compass of innovations.
Just passed by the gap between skyscrapers and watched the last few minutes of firework tonight after dinner.
You can watch the last few minutes of firework at YouTube.
This morning my beloved little big fish has passed away after its almost 2 years companionship. Goodbye little one. I had fond memory of you bitting off smaller fishes’ head.
