Usually it's the very deep and subtle personal thoughts and preferences which make one travel along a certain line of life journey or another.

For instance, assume one can really freely choose, if he prefers equality to equity, then he goes with Communism or something alike; if his preference is the other way around, then Capitalism is his cup of tea.

So in that aspect, every individual should consider very deeply about his own intellectual system, so to speak. Put it another way:

"The unexamined life is not worth living."

D and E are difficult to play ball with. That's their own choices and their own fates.

Sigh. RIM has been forced to compete against Apple, Google, and Microsoft. RIM is out of its league.

When you see maimed and killed American and Canadian soldiers, you wonder for exactly what those troopers fight, and for exactly what the democracies they represent fight.

Here goes a short video about the famous The Bunghole liquor store in Salem, MA, U.S.A.

The guy cheesily said that the T-shirt No. 5 is the most popular with ladies. :-)

Traditional publishing has transitioned to web publishing. Traditional typography has to web typography.

If base motives are what's driving the Wall Street, then the society and government should reign it by all means and don't give it even one chance to become a monster.

It seems so to me for now. After the Europeans landed onto the continent of North America, the trauma for First Nations people has lasted till this day, because the cultures of the First Nations were sort of too primitive to accommodate or blend with the then European cultures.

Of course, that thought of mine is too naive and primitive for the matter which must be quite complex. Nonetheless, I write it down.

Under the current education system of China, there are a lot of essential elements missing.

For one thing, young students don't get to consider death the leveller, which is among the few ultimate things. Entering a university as elite as possible and gaining a job as high-pay as possible seem to be the only things which the system fosters on students' minds.

Some Chinese people are apt to be perennially amenable to speculation trends in the society. That's playing with fire, as well as not being constructive, I'm afraid.

When I was very young and in China, my gorge rose when I thought that my entire life would be expended in a very confining system which belittles personal choice and personal efforts.

Of course, China has changed dramatically. But that was my youth and my then potential life.

I don't know why all the fashion models walking on T-platforms keep that universal glassy look on their faces. There must be some deep reasons for that in the fashion trade.

I've done things which I'd wanted to do, thanks to the societal environment by courtesy of the Quebec province.

The Arial typeface seems to be becoming the de facto font of websites.

I've never seen a pretty cooking oil flagon. Should oil makers make it look more appealing?

You pick any established entrepreneur, and I can tell you that he's gone through many purgatories yet he's carried on, bearing his persistence and vision.

For some years, I had been snatching at almost every moment to enhance my English proficiency.

Now that activity can abate since my English has reached a certain level and I can treat it as a side project. It had been an outland journey.

Java used to be my favorite runtime, when I was in school. No more.

And the acquisition of it by Oracle didn't help it in my eyes.

One of the worst scenarios for this world in the coming years would be that an international war between or among major countries breaks out.

If that really happens, the world economy which has been sluggishly climbing out of the mess of the Late-2000s Financial Crisis will be traumatized again, deeper in troubles.

Let's wish it won't happen. Knock the wood.

Sarah Palin published a memoir titled "Going Rogue" in 2009. What did she mean by that book title? Gee.
