吃得精光

大家一定都去過夜市吃小吃，我也喜歡，但到是沒那麼常去。通常都是一時興起。今晚跑去南雅夜市逛逛，想說就先吃藥燉排骨好了。吃著吃著~我做啥顧別人看我的吃相呢?那排骨不就是越是把藏在骨頭間所有的肉跟筋都吃下肚，越是 enjoy 嗎?! 不是就是夜市小吃的魅力嗎?!本來我還有點彆扭的，正好前桌有一家人吃的正起勁! 最令我稱羨的畫面是爸爸啃著骨頭，雙手猛使勁的想將所有骨頭都將它支離，好吃下那藏在骨縫間任何的一絲絲嫩筋肉! 兒子也跟著像是抓把手扒雞一般猛地撕扯!!! 真是讓我也不管三七二十一了，撕扯吧! 反倒是女孩子們都較秀氣點。那位媽媽也是。

最近猛看"不能結婚的男人"，男主角為了看煙火，獨自一人去觀賞，更帶了美酒佳餚，盡情享受那霎那間的華麗夜空。

我不就是真想吃嗎?! 管別人做啥? 忽然間白癡到心想看誰吃的比較乾淨? 哈哈哈~ "絲"肉無存~~

吃著吃著~總會想起小時後，老爸退休時，總是會釣很多魚回來。結果後來我都非得要把吳郭魚的魚肉吃到只剩下每一隻骨頭魚刺，都清清楚楚地可以分離開來~~是一種喜悅一個思念~~

還有吃的飯粒要一粒不剩。

而今晚我沒有美酒，哈哈~但有麻油(雞)麵線的稻香米酒!!!

2010年台灣國際銀髮族暨健康照護產業展

一定以為我跑去哪裡拍的是吧?! NO!!! 路過台北市政府前的路旁大花盆拍低。

抽空第一次去看銀髮族暨健康照護產業展覽，本想看看有哪些新鮮的點子或產業，到沒覺得有哪些很特別，可能還真沒到銀髮ㄅㄟ。哈~~

意外發現有一家 SolidYear 原是家傳統電腦周邊設計製造商，卻開始轉型往個人居家生活助理產品邁進。他們出了一款利用一般家庭常用的多盞標準E27燈泡插座，聰明地將一般的IP Camera設計如更換E27燈泡一般容易安裝，而視訊訊號更是透過AC 110V電源線直接傳送到一只橋接器後，便可以簡單的接到一般IP分享器。就因為自己以前曾接觸過監控產業，特別覺得這家很聰明。跟一位PM閒聊後，他們也知DVR，IP CAMERA，VIDEO SERVER等市場競爭非常激烈，獲利不佳。他們的後端系統整合的算是很好。這項"遠端關懷即插用 Any.Easy Cam"利用電源線傳輸影像，可對接16隻攝影鏡頭。可即時或預約錄影，觸發警示功能可即時發送E-mail。可上網3G手機或電腦隨時隨地觀看。與一般DVR沒兩樣。

另外 Bolgarli 的 Wellness 衛您洗馬桶超喜歡。DM 製作的非常用心，我幾乎幻想如劉德華的親愛的馬桶一樣，在以前內湖上班時的馬桶就是讓人有"親密摯友"的感覺。只能說下一次浴廁要對自己好一點，來裝這種每天好好對待自己~哈哈哈~品牌阿品牌~就是沒話說~

有一個叫做"智慧型數位桌"，點子還挺 OK的。現在六七八年級的應該大部分都會使用電腦吧!? 過些年社區的老人社交互動~用這個4人可同時操作的觸控桌子應該就算不會電腦，觸控一下，隨手可得我想。看到這裡~你大概也想到: 那有沒有4人數位麻將桌阿?! 有!!! 但我忘了拿 DM~呵呵

未來居家看護，恐怕又會是百家爭鳴，到處是無線有線夾雜。亂阿!~~居家看護如果可以有像系統整合保全公司如中興等等大型後端軟體整合~再加上社區醫院資訊整合連線~那家家戶戶如果可以以租借各式血壓計，血糖計，脈搏計等~就不會這麼亂嚕~~政府若是可以訂出大方向就好囉!!!當然我這是遙不可及啦。不過算了~一個全民健保就虧這麼多錢了。

總之~屁股大~肚子大~大腿粗~的人喔，上了年紀後，要養身喔。多多運動，就不需要這些輔助設備啦。

Milkymist One

After 6 months, Milkymist One has manufactured by Sharism. This is designed by Milkymist.org . They successfully demonstrated new Milkymist SOC v0.6 on Milkymist One prototype. There are more information about development, process and document recorded in Qi Hardware wiki page. Their copyleft conceipts let you can re-produce the product under CC-BY-SA & GFDL license. Amazing? Right? Yes, you can produce them from those copylef knowledge to build your own product. I support manufacturing of Milkymist One project and currently work for Sharism. This first RC1 version is now completedly produced. So far Milkymist.org now is developing the software on Spartan-6 FPGA. Hopefully we'll see a total solution of this hardware platform soon. And eveyone can re-produce them whatever they want. You can take a look on this board here.

Qtime Open book

多年以前跟朋友曾去漫畫王, 但沒啥特別舒適感, 可能跟我當時心情有關吧! 今天路過想想累了就進去 Qtime Open book 忠孝店, 既然來了就不想看自己帶來的書. 隨手拿了許多雜誌來看; 看到了我最喜歡的 Janet 上了封面人物耶, 總是要忍不住多看看這美麗不做作的她! 根本我都不知道我拿得雜誌是寫啥的～總之～那不重要! 看著她我心情自然好就好囉. 後來才知我看的是《男人幫》 雜誌, 適逢創刊10週年, 找來《瘋台灣》的主持人 Janet 做封面人物 : The Real Woman In The Real World -- Janet!!! 男人幫編輯群有眼光~~所見略同~~哈哈哈~~

對 Janet 的了解並非外貌使然, 但哪個男人不會多看一眼, 我可不信! 但真正吸引我的, 是她的個性. 不須特別如何形容她囉, 只要瀏覽過幾篇她的 blog 就會喜歡了, or

第一次看男人幫雜誌, 直覺是以後去書店都要看它一眼. 這群編輯群, 我這次是開了眼見, 超喜歡的～XD真是笨蛋~~ 我的腦袋現在感覺超屌的~~

另外發現有人特別介紹《真旅網》很不錯, 下次我就來試試唄.

自由軟件的文化

最近因為有空就學一下 Python，但學習基礎功，總是枯燥乏味的。但總給自己鼓勵，書中真有黃金屋的!!!而這黃金幻想是無比踏實的喜悅滿足感。所有真能實現夢想的人，多半不是理智者。一個可實現看得到的東西，往往出自狂熱分子的強烈欲望使然，但畢竟是人。我學了一下，當然已見到Python 無語能比的強大，與我可以想像到的東西由它來揮灑。但我卻忘了所有open source 最最原本的面貌是簡單。

偶然機會今天看了一下同事 XiangFu 的 blog 一篇文有關自由軟件的文化，讓我心中又激起無限的可能與熱情。我超喜歡他最後寫的一句話" 只要我们每天都在学习进步。早晚会有质的变化。"~~呵呵~可不是嗎!

Milkymist project news, May 20th

Milkymist has posted news on http://lekernel.net/blog/?p=1043. From my views, being as an pioneer who strongly insists on promoting the live synthesis of interactive visual effects for VJs (video performance artists). It's not easy for me to do this thing even I've been not found my interesting area. But there's an obvious phenomenon is only do what you CAN do or easily LEARN from your current skills you have now. And  keep moving forward then a few contributors will join your paradise yard. Doesn't it?

I like his idea on three sub-projects: the Milkymist™ One interactive VJ station ( I am supporting him on this. ), the Milkymist™ SoC and the Flickernoise VJ software. All of them are huge and not available now. How I can learn from him to handle those three big projects is important to me. Because I still have also three big ideas to be moving on this moment. No idea that I can kick off myself. Am I lost myself now?

But again, I like activity of the STOP Software Patents . EU Petition. When will Taiwan also come out this kind of one? Don't know. I gave my point views on here.

My First Python Book

Eventually I bought a book of Programming Python by Mark Lutz. Why I wanted to buy this handbook. The reasons are:
1, Free Tool, not like other Wxxx...
2, Easily readable back when I am elder.
3, Don't need to learn new Wxxx....operation system every time when OS is upgraded.
4, Learn this language one time in Linux then get myself happiness.
5, Build my own test environment.
6, Learn a GUI tool by Python to go for my goals to have a retirement plan.

Christopher  & Carlos suggested me also to learn this great language. They have more experiences than me in this such field. Especially Christopher pointed me that thewikireader.com repository which have a testudo I can start to study from it. That's the test program he did for that device. I was happy that I can co-work with him when I was at openmoko. So no more wrong directions should be happened unexpectedly as following their past ways in possessing skills with over ten to twenty years. How such stupid I did to follow Wxxxxx....for several years! I made a very very stupid mistake! There are tons of softwares that use Python here. Damn it! I learn this too slow! Well.....actually not slow to an elder Adam now. I'll see where I can go. But then a real one thing is that I really got an obliviousness about leaving my scooter stayed at underground parking of Taipei Shien City Hall. And took a 307 bus back home. As usual way to back my home. Suddenly, indeed I am very elder now..hehe..

13 Open source hardware companies making $1 Million or More

I was thinking that Future this word is not meant you should make yourself ready on something then you will meet or make it. What I am envolving on the field is  an unknown businese model or scale we meet. Looking on video below you will see that how and where those comminities are moving forward. How to make FUNny open source hardware with easy is a much exciting topic for me. I tried to find a way that can easily come through via normal live and life. But it's not easy also not difficult somehow. Start from ground, fly in the sky!
