Now I know, youthful pop singers tend to be more or less blithe.

And that's one of the reasons why they fail to attract adult fans.

Western life sort of sets me free, in certain senses.

I guess the current WiFi protocols will appear prototypical when we look back at them in twenty years.

Does it REALLY do good to non-public companies when they mercilessly lay off their workers?

"Sir, how many degrees will be enough for me to have?" "The more the merrier."

P.S. I feel glad that universities haven't made postdoc an academic degree yet(?). If one day that happens, what degree should a professor or academic researcher with, say, twenty years of research work under his belt, be entitled to? Assume that he wants to leave the ivory tower for the real world and work in it, can he claim that he has a post-post-postdoc degree? :-)

Eclectically integrating ideas is hard.

Yeah, should I deal with problems mirthfully instead?

For different people, the web can be a place of delight, a place for mirth, or both.


For me, it is largely the first case.

Businesses can never desist from updating themselves.

My own ambition of getting more and better information bitch-slaps me with info. overload.

The web kicks butt for finding quality information!

Dude, be mindful of both the explicit and the implicit decisions you make.

As a matter of fact, many Chinese people are only largely encouraged by extrinsic motivation.

I've become to like Jazz.

It relaxes my mind.

It seems that my wireless router has become the bottleneck.

Every person comes away from his alma mater intellectually, in a matter of years.

So, especially in this era of lifelong learning, which university or institution a person graduates from shouldn't be overly fussed about.

We Chinese, as individuals, tend to be more or less dogmatic.

Ever since the Han Dynasty during which the Confucianism gained dominance in China, Chinese people have become quite doctrinaire.

News of every single Android device has been bruited about since around two or three years ago.

Google's eclectic Android team has been working very very hard.
