快閃? 佔領?

噚晚發咗個好奇怪嘅夢，大約就係入馬場，保安都幾嚴密，好似要登記證件咁。馬場看台有好多人，問其中幾個係乜名，佢哋 Show 咗張證件俾我睇，竟然係同名 (唔記得個名，就叫 X 先算)? 之後場內廣播話邊個個名叫 X 嘅請舉手，咁就成個看台都舉晒手，之後好整齊嘅做一 D 嘢，類似一場社會運動咁，不過個人已經醒醒哋，所以記憶都幾混沌吓，跟住就醒咗...

醒咗之後都唔太瞓得返，只係响度諗可以做到，就算無人去指揮，但一班人都做到同一件事。令我諗起 Improv Everywhere 嘅 MP3 Experiements:

The People Sing

呢幾日，有好多人週街唱。
唱嘅內容，係別人嘅不是。
好多局外人當自己係局內人，似乎响外圍嘅外圍嘅邊皮嘅人，都好想八吓發生乜事。
有高呼失望嘅，亦有開口大罵嘅，但笑到最後嘅，係七號差館對面操盤嘅人。

普選 RIP

當年無底線地接受第二票，以後底線就任人劃，家陣要篩選候選人，又怪得邊個? 調已定，佔中、公投已經再無力阻止國家機器嘅控制，預備總辭啦!

Let there be light

今日係熄燈日，但係我無再去影相。

話說上年到友人工作嘅酒店影相，响一個寧靜嘅環境下欣賞唔太光嘅維港。其實，呢個維港，如果係夜晚12點都可以影到，只係睇住佢熄燈同著返嘅機會，就一年只得一次。但係環境太寧靜，人就自然會注意到好多其他週邊嘅事，例如直升機不斷响維港上空盤旋，我心裡打咗幾個問號。熄燈係為咗減炭，所有對環保有認識嘅人都知所有飛上天嘅人造交通工具係炭排放嘅佼佼者，一個環保活動用上唔環保嘅工具，有意義嗎?

影相本來想為記錄某件事，但呢件事，已經唔再值得記錄了。環保係需要支持，但請响日常生活著手，唔好每年只在乎嗰一個鐘。

佔領狂想曲

佔領，一定要中環嗎?
佔領紅隧只需要四架車，會唔會更有效率?
又或者佔領山頂道，兩架車 KO, 向上流社會宣戰的說。
佔領金鐘站月台，影響又會唔會更大?
甚至，佔領羅湖出閘口，連同水貨問題一拼解決。

This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got upset about that, because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have.

To Keep or not to Keep

我唔知呢個世界有幾多 Notes 要寫，對我嚟講，手機唔係一個打字嘅地方，影相 OK, 但寫 Notes 免問，所以 Evernote 對我嚟講無意思。今日 Google 話出 Google Keep, 都真係幾攪笑，相信都唔會有人用。先幾日先收咗 Google Reader 皮，咁邊有人信 Google 會 Keep 個 Service?

於是响介紹 Google Keep 嘅短片入面，出現咗攪笑嘅 Comments:

• I'll use this and then what?, a few years later are they going to make this disappear like google reader?. No thanks.
• Keep Google Reader
• Will "Google" keep "Google Keep" ?
• WHy should I use this app, if you are going to remove it from service anyway?
• Is this a joke?
• Start using this app? Only to find out that you kill it suddenly, like Google Reader. Forget it!
• Please, "Keep" Google Reader!
• So, will you be automagically transferring all my deceased Google notebooks into keep that I took years to collect?
  On, that's right, you stopped Google Notes BEFORE starting keep.
  Silly Google.
  Google 0 - Evernote 1
  ( evernote gave us an import from Google Notes function )
  Topical note: Google getting product offering advice from Cyprus I think.
• How about we'll keep using Gmail drafts and you keep your Keep?
• I hope by April 1st, google comes out and tells us reader isn't going away.
• I want google reader instead of this crap
• Another good idea that Google will kill. Thanks but no thanks - I'll use a pencil.

教 Industrial Marketing 講師話過，有時做 Damage Control 都無用, 因為 the damage has been done, 我諗大概就係咁嘅意事。

Thanks but no thanks - I'll use a pencil, too!

再見奧雲

我諗足球嚟講，無人唔識 David Beckham. 對於一個唔好足球嘅人嚟講，我鐘意 Michael Owen 多啲。除咗因為佢係利物蒲出身，可能重因為佢同我同年。試問有幾多個同自己同年嘅人有咁高嘅成就? 要掛靴了，唔响草地上，就响其他地方發亮吧!

暈端運算

Google 話 iGoogle 响 Mobile 世代已經不合時宜，所以丢咗佢。
Google 又話 Google Reader 越嚟越少人用，所以又要丢咗佢。
但點解 Google 唔覺得 Google+ 根本無人用，又丢咗佢呢? 係嘅, User base 太細，比起 Google Reader 要 Grow 係一件容易嘅事。

以前嘅 Google 係好多嘢 Usable 同好 Trendy, 但今時今日，只有 Search, Gmail, Map 用得吓，Google Docs/Drive 比 SkyDrive 差，Blogger 買返嚟嘅，YouTube 又係買返嚟嘅，Android 差唔多係 SamSung 嘅代名詞，Chrome 係快但係大食之餘 Extension 又唔夠 FireFox 多，Chromium OS 又唔太見影而 FireFox OS 又嚟緊，App Engine 又唔夠 AWS 方便。咁 Google 究竟重有乜嘢前景呢? 以 Google 丟嘢嘅邏輯，佢會唔會有日自己摺埋?

From Rookie to Expert

初步練習
練習兩次，主要掌握時間嘅控掣，基本內容、流程同埋操作，發掘問題。

改善練習
執字粒，逐粒逐粒字去斟酌，錯咗或者唔滿意嘅地方，重做一次。

熟煉練習
以最快速度去完成，令內容出現响腦嘅速度，快過講出口嘅速度，咁所有內容可以倒背如流，到咗嚟真嘅時候，mental pressure 降低，有剩餘空間去處理突發情況 (i.e. 執生)。

完成後，基本上可登大雅。但想盡善盡美，都要不斷檢討內容同流程。想解答問題，就要自己再發掘潛在問題。但要執生攞彩，就唯有靠經驗，話明執生，邊有得準備。

踩台
到場熟習現場操作燈光、投影機、接駁器材。

1+1接駁法
Dual Display 以 Extended Desktop 輸出到 VGA Splitter, 再分別輸出 Mon 同 Projector. 咁就有兩個 Mon 可以用，而其中一個係觀眾睇唔到，就可以放任何題示去呢個 Mon 度，將 mental pressure 減至最低。


實戰
現場會有好多突發情況，例如要加插其他內容或者其他工作，但核心內容已經準備好，週邊事情只需要臨場發揮就可以了。

公投、佔領

預想四步曲

1. 何俊仁辭職引發公投
2. 泛民同進步民主派分別拋出政改方案並分別派人出選
3. 選出方案為人民授㩲方案
4. 香港政府最後政改方案唔符合公投所選方案，啟動佔領

Inception

幾日前，發咗一個兩三層嘅夢，醒完一次又一次，感覺原來都幾差吓。返返去第一層嘅時候，意識到之前係發夢，但意識唔到重發緊。直至醒嗰一刻，感覺到 This is real! 係一種解脫!

那誰... 是中產

32萬月薪嘅中產，學術上係無錯，因為收入並唔係中產嘅唯一定義，根據社會學家Nikolai Tilkidjiev博士嘅文章:

And the status of the middle class within that hierarchy is clearly a unique one – in-between the "upper-class" elite and the "lower-class" workers, in-between the upper crust and the wage earners, in-between the envy of the world and the pitied ones.

一個位極人臣，操控住香港財政體系嘅總管，絕對唔係中產。
