I hope I can be the latter, if the time ever calls for it. O humanity.

Free

… if by “free,” one actually meant “cruelly narrowminded.”

mrgan:

A detail from the iPad keynote: Steve demoes the Mail application and he puts it in horizontal mode. Oh, look, an Inbox list pops in. Neat.

And I think, hmmm I wonder if you can resize that splitter, making the source list wider. Its a tiny target, so it would be hard to grab…

And then I realize: you can’t resize it.

And a bright light did shine upon my liberated face and a voice did whisper a thunder: You’re free. Free of pointless preferences and finger-baiting adjustments.

As Andy puts it, the iPad is an administrivia-removal device.

Books I started in the past month, in reverse order of interest.

  1. Hacker: Disassembling Uncovered (manuscript), written by my coworker Kris. (Started at a laundromat. He’s a fantastic, engaging writer.)
  2. Rootkit Arsenal, reading together with some buddies of mine. (Still fighting to get through the general overview, which always bores me… which is pathetic, cuz that’s usually the first several chapters.)
  3. Dave Barry’s Bad Habits, a book I picked up from Brad’s parents’ house.
  4. Unwritten Literature of Hawaii: The Sacred Songs of the Hula, online book.
  5. Some kind of Asian cookbook, the name of which I’ve forgotten.
  6. Life and Fate, which is a billion pages long.
  7. The Heart of Being Hawaiian. Fascinating book on cultural identity, but makes me incredibly sad about not really claiming my Taiwanese heritage… if I have even one.

The drive to finish a book from cover to cover is more than just a New Year’s resolution… if anything, it’s necessary for reading comprehension.

Google users in Hong Kong hold a banner saying, &#8220;Say no to internet censorship: Google, well done!&#8221; [link] I&#8217;d be proud to call them my brothers and sisters in freedom. ^^
