Legality

Went to a computer mall in Sham Shui Po yesterday.

I like that place. There are lot more variety of products here. There are digital drawing tablets there. I saw one that the tablet is a monitor. I want to buy a Wacom Intuos3, but I am going to price check on other places and online.

I bought a DVI to HDMI cable. A few CD pens.

I saw some computer games for less than HKD$ 100. They are obviously illegal copy, but I was tempted. But I thought, it might not be good for my computer. But I did saw some photoshop programs.

I really want that tablet, but I am going to look for the best price.

Spaces problem

For my time in Hong Kong, the primary source of my digitized data out put, in put, entertainment, and information is at my Grandma's house. My uncle family live with her and they have broadband access.

The internet speed is quite fast, about 100 mpbs, but I can't seem to access MySpace at that place. I can access it from other internet port. I don't understand why.

So all my blog update at my MySpace page will be late, but I will be too lazy to edit any of the blog posts. So blog posts from many days might just appear on the same day.

UBER FAST!!!!

I've just set up a modem at my Grandma's place to split the DSL there.

The connection is very fast here. I downloaded portal in 15 minutes. I downloaded Team Fortress 2 in two hours.

It could also be that our modem at home might just suck. It was free...

I suck at rhythm games

I found out that there would be a high possibility that both AP Chemistry and Senior Studio would be on 6th period. >.<

My mom also broke my Prom glass. >.<

But my weekend is going just fine. I had a nice time at Emily's late birthday party. I suck at rhythm games. I can't play Guitar Hero, I can't play DDR, I can't play FFR, I can't play Elite Beat Agent. (-_-)

I got my new portable external hard drive.

I downloaded a new Portal map pack that was created by the same people that made Portal: The Flash Version.

Now, I just have too read for school...

Our universe.

I found this on youtube last night. This is an very interesting interview with Dr. Michio Kaku.

The Generation Gap

I am currently watching FRONTLINE: Growing Up Online on PBS. This episode is about kids and the internet and parent. It is very un-bias compared to other news source. There are both kids and parent talking about the good and bad situation of the internet.

They say the internet created the biggest generation gap. I have to agree with that. They show some nice statistic.

Any way, check that out if you can. Frontline is great. But now I am writing about the generation gap, and why it is good and bad.

Parent, like most human, are afraid of unfamiliar things. Like most human we all want privacy, but yet like most human we also want to invade people's privacy.

I know they want to keep an eye on us so that they can make sure we are safe, but over protection will just drag us down. We need a big generation gap to insulate our self from the last generation's grasp that are trying to stop us from advancing our self. We are constantly evolving, but they don't want us to. They are too insecure to let us go. They are too afraid of what new and thus they them self are stuck in time.

They make decision base on their experience, that is good. But most of the time they make decision without thinking of the result that will be put on us. We are then corrupted by the last generation. A generation gap is needed to prevent the corruption of primitive thinking of the last generation to ruin the innocent thinking of this generation. But at the same time a generation gap would prevent the passing of wisdom of the last generation to be pass on that will aid the evolution of this generation.

Wisdom: science, history, love, peace, non-violent resistant, diplomatic achievements, etc. etc.
Corruption: war, arrogance, anger, hate, lustful thinking, greed, etc.

We need the wisdom of the pass to understand how to work towards our future. But we can't let the corruption of the past to slow down our progress. How will a balance in the generation gap do this? How can it let wisdom pass, but stop corruption? Question, Question, Question. These question will also be ask by the next generation. These question will be asked by the next generation because we have already been corrupted.

Now a days, with upto five generation living together, it is hard to insulate youngest two generations from the rest. This problem will stay in a paradox for a while...

Transformer

People always complaint about dress code in school. To avoid getting in trouble new clothing are needed. So here the solution. Transformable clothing.

VOCALOID2

This is a cool program that let you make your own song.

It sound and look cool but it is only in Japanese. From looking at it on YouTube and Gizmodo, the program only got one vocal singer, Hatsune Miku. She sound ok, but it be better if there are more singers. But I think they might have more vocal later.

Here is the web site:http://www.crypton.co.jp/mp/pages/prod/vocaloid/

They need an international version.
