Many people are in thrall to routine life trajectories which eventually lead to more confinement of their liberty down the road, I've observed. Routine life paths lead to routine life achievements, reasonably.

Those people are sort of afraid of thinking out of the box and then acting in accordance with that thinking.

I often see men with retro hippie looks on streets and screens in Canada. What do they think really?

I'm curious about that, against the backdrop of the current era.

I don't know. It seems that many Canadian biz tycoons are not on a par with their American counterparts.

For instance, the two Co-CEOs of RIM, which has been claimed throughout this country as the brightest tech company in Canada after the collapse of Nortel.

On the other hand, in sharp contrast, many Canadian political moguls are on a par with their American counterparts, for example, the late Jack Layton, and Stephen Harper, they shine with the grace of modesty and sound judgement in many occasions.

Just my current personal impressions.

They say providing the liquid transferring, or liquidity, of financial capital is a crucial thing.

I think that particular service of providing, which is what the banking firms do day in and day out, should be made easier for more identities, both organizations and individuals, to take part in.

But maybe I'm wrong.

Any business has to earn a spread in every single deal, in order to survive. It's as simple as that. But not all prospects, especially those driven by sheer greed, understand that.

Some syntactic sugar wastes developers' time.

Personally I think that the phrase 'J-school', which stands for Journalism school, sounds cool.

The relevance of Microsoft to consumers is well before its end.

It's been reported that the Windows Phone 7 is lauded by some outside designer(s) as a possession of great design, and moreover, we can reasonably expect that the Windows 8 will be unveiled next year. Let's see if Microsoft can create its new heyday in the mobile sphere.

Personally I think maybe I'll wait on the mobile version of the Windows 8.

J's dream hovers in the sky.

In the wake of the infamous case of Russell Williams, now one of Russell's rape victims nearby Tweed, Ontario has sued him, his wife and the Ontario Police.

One of the madam's claims is that the Police should have informed the residents nearby that some cases of breaking and entering and sexual assaults, by Russell Williams, had happened before the same fate descended on her.

I'm not sure if civilians have the right to be timely informed by the Police about all the sexual offence and murder cases in their neighborhoods. It looks to be unlikely. But if the right really exists, then the Ontario Police did infringe on the victim's rights by having failed to make her know. Otherwise, the Police just have an encroachment case at the very most.

Do you think that money managers batten on their investors, if the degree of competition in that industry is not enough?

Yorkshire, England, U.K. appears to be a significant and pretty county.

"In recent times, North Yorkshire has displaced Kent to take the title Garden of England according to The Guardian." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yorkshire#Natural_areas )

The beauty of the moors in Yorkshire particularly struck me, thanks to the picture displayed at http://www.bugbog.com/gallery/england_pictures/yorkshire-uk.html .

Mercury, a Roman god of commerce, trade and so on, is also a messenger of Jupiter.

To be frank, globalization has blasted the life of average Joes and Janes in the U.S. and Canada.

Due to the competition from the labor in developing countries, their (mean?) real individual income has allegedly stayed the same since the 1980s, and their job security has become elusive. And the continuously climbing gas and house prices have been tormenting their minds.

Will African countries import the fishy and illaudable Chinese High Speed Railway technologies?

In terms of Economics, perhaps the only plausible main explanation for the flat incomes gotten by the majority of American and Canadian workers is the steep rise of the competition of some populous emerging economies such as India and China, given the current models of capitalism in which capital flows freely to where it can make the most gains.

It appears that poetic thoughts mostly emerge in leisure times, and they submerge in the times when I'm busy burying myself in the mundaneness of life.

A little sunny. A little windy. The maples are turning colorful, in this season of fall.

It seems that what we eat and commonly refer to as 'corns' are 'corn ears' in agricultural terms.
