9000+ Pictures and 90 Minutes Later, originally uploaded by sonson.

I used MacOSaiX to create a mosaic of this Totoro picture from about 9000+ pictures in my library. The whole process took about an hour and half, but I’m impressed by the resulting image.

"Life before Starbucks and Microsoft" is a coffee maker??

This is part of an exhibit I saw after going on the Seattle Underground Tour. I took this picture because I found the sign above the coffee maker interesting. Yeah, of course, many of us know Seattle is the home of the very first Starbucks Coffee and Microsoft Corp. But I also found it amazing how they placed a coffee maker right below this sign. So, after all, it’s still coffee before Starbucks?

I took a closer look at the description of the coffee maker (which I found from one of my other photos):

In selecting machines for this exhibition a decision was made to use the most interesting styles as opposed to presenting chronological "history of coffee and espresso" equipment. All the pieces on exhibit were created and used before Microsoft and Starbucks began operating.

Most of the equipment shown here, while still operable, is out of production. The processes used in making coffee and espresso are pretty much unchanged, however water, heat, pressure and coffee beans are still the basic ingredients. Only the technology has changed.

今日去買米粉，發現米粉都有好多唔同嘅牌子，雙龍同三象應該如何取捨？到底係兩條龍勁，定係三隻象勁 D 呢？買米粉啫，使唔使咁難呀？

Here’s my del.icio.us tag cloud visualized and prettified by Wordle

Wow, it looks like I tagged tools, webdesign, free, and web2.0 a lot.

So I was here tonight, trying to get some work done (hey, I do need to finish a business case for tomorrow), and listening to some tunes. Then I started scribbling random lyrics that got to my heart.

The above character means tiredness in Chinese. I was playing with my strokes and then it became the left one in the below picture. I stared at it for a second, and I thought…. hey… then it became the right hand side one.

I guess I’m really tired.

終於都係買咗 Mario Kart, 想同我玩 WFC 對戰就 message 我啦！

我自己都唔記得自己點樣搵到呢個政治漫畫 blog「嘰嘰格格」, 不過我就 subscribe 咗係我個 RSS reader netvibes 度，都睇咗一排喇，簡簡單嘅幾格，可以令我了解香港政治多d，睇下唔同人嘅諗法。

近排我其中一樣唔係好明嘅係：到底點解陳奕迅會有份傳送奥運聖火，雖然我係支持陳奕迅，但係我諗唔通嘛，或者我根本唔明白到底咩人先可以傳送聖火，不過今日睇到嘰嘰格格嘅呢個漫畫，覺得都有 D 道理。

所以我都係繼續唔係好明。

（繼續思考中…）

Woohoo! Videos on Flickr!

Flickr 期待已久嘅 feature: 終於都可以 upload video 上 flickr, 可以同 D 相放埋一齊！

所以我一有機會就 upload 咗 D video 上去，雖然只可以 play 到頭 90 秒，但都覺得好正！上面呢個 video 係我係上海城堭廟拍下嘅，原來就嚟又一年咯！

上個星期六，開始咗我今年嘅櫻花之旅，本來一心唸住出 downtown 度影相，可以去吓 Stanley Park 同 Burrard Station 度影，點知天氣突然由幾好太陽變成又落雨又落冰雹。由 Burnaby 一路向住 downtown 方向行，個天由少雲到見到前面有好密嘅雨雲，個天黑哂咁，所以最後都係決定番轉頭行。

係 Burnaby 附近搵到一條街，兩邊都係好靚好靚嘅半開櫻花，個天雖然陰陰地，但係就係因為唔係太光，影出嚟嘅相同我早一兩年影到嘅唔同，效果幾好，希望今個星期天氣好番 D 會影到更多相啦。
