最喜欢这套。
有型。

Hello，Chicago!
芝城父老，别来无恙，

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
余尝闻世人有疑，不知当今美利坚凡事皆可成就耶？开国先贤之志方岿然于世耶？民主之伟力不减于昔年耶？凡存诸疑者，今夕当可释然。

It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.
今夕之释然，皆蒙美利坚民众之协力——学塾祠庙之外，市井乡野之间，万千父老心焦似焚，苦待竟日，愿献一票之力。其中，平生未尝涉国事者，数亦不少，而今有此义举，皆因一念不衰——今夫天下，非同既往，愿发吁天之声，必成动地之势。

It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states. We are, and always will be, the United States of America.
今夕之释然，皆仰吾国同胞之齐心——何谈贫富老幼之差、党社宗族之异，惶论发肤肌体之别、志趣爱恶之分。吾国既以“合众”为名，吾辈则更无疏离之意，红蓝二党并肩而立，数十邦州挽手相合，无分你我，共称一家，昂然于世，齐声一呼，天下乃有此释然。

It’s the answer that led those who’ve been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.
今夕之释然，皆因愤懑者之镇静，忧惧者之勇气，犹疑者之笃定——平素世间种种，消磨其志向，溃灭其梦想，而值此风云之际，除旧更新，当仁不让，倾力而动乾坤者，更何人哉！

It’s been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America.
俟之诚久，其志弥坚。幸天地明察，乃有今日，乃有此刻，乃有此一选举，乃有我亿万美利坚大好国民——吾邦之大变革，方得自兹而始也！

A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen. McCain.
Sen. McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And he’s fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him; I congratulate Gov. Palin for all that they’ve achieved. And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation’s promise in the months ahead.
顷接参议员麦君凯恩电，虽未得晤，幸有一谈，其言谆谆，其意诚诚，鄙人感佩 之至。选战期内，麦君劳碌几重，奔波几许，皆为国家计。诸般求索，时日良多，皆非余所能及。于国于民之惊人牺牲，亦非庸庸如吾辈者所可想见。以麦君之胆魄 襟怀，能为吾邦所用，实国家之幸，万民之幸也。前途漫漫，其事未竟，余所盼瞩由衷者，唯共麦凯恩君、佩林君，及诸贤士比肩，会吾等之绵力，成吾邦之大业。

I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.
乔君拜登，亦吾所感铭至深者也。竞选之业，艰险不足与外人道，幸有乔君之辅佐，其诚天可鉴之。乔君其人，素言恳辞切，意笃情真，盖尝经斯兰克顿街乡邻之提命，饱聆特拉华州父老之晤教也。他日余既登总统之位，乔君必当副之。

And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation’s next first lady Michelle Obama.
拙荆米氏，追随鄙人凡一十六年，既为爱侣，更为挚友，既为吾阖家之基石，又乃余终生之至爱。鄙人尝自忖度，倘无贤妻若此，今朝阔论高谈于此处者，不知何人矣！

Sasha and Malia I love you both more than you can imagine. And you have earned the new puppy that’s coming with us to the new White House.
小女萨沙、玛丽，余素深喜之。昔日为父尝与汝等言，此番选战若得一胜，愿购小犬一头相赠，待阖家乔迁总统府邸之日，偕汝等同进吾宅。今当胜负已出，既有一诺在前，必自践行不欺也。

And while she’s no longer with us, I know my grandmother’s watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight. I know that my debt to them is beyond measure.
祖母大人虽已仙逝，料必有灵在天，俯察人寰，想应颔首开颜矣。吾奥巴马氏列祖列宗，亦当如是。今日今时，此情此景，鄙人追思之心，乌鸟之情，曷其有极！唯生死陌路，仙凡有别，虽怀反哺之心，而无答报之门也！

To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you’ve given me. I am grateful to them.
至若玛雅、艾玛二姐妹，以及吾家诸同胞，所惠我者，亦属良多，久沐恩德，此当拜谢。

And to my campaign manager, David Plouffe, the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the best — the best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States of America.To my chief strategist David Axelrod who’s been a partner with me every step of the way.To the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you’ve sacrificed to get it done.
大卫•普劳夫君，大卫•阿克塞罗德君，一为鄙人竞选事务之经理，一为鄙人国事韬略之智囊。余尝自喟叹，左右谋士，余所仰赖者，皆亘古未见之贤才。普阿二君，则更此中之翘楚。区区不才，有何德能，可得膀臂若此？当此功成之际，感荷之心，亦自拳拳。

But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. It belongs to you. It belongs to you.
至于鄙人铭之肺腑，须臾不敢忘怀者，则诸位也。盖今日鄙人之胜绩，实诸位之胜绩，鄙人之荣光，实诸位之荣光！

I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn’t start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington. It began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston. It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause.
余素朴陋，虽有参选之心，并无必胜之志。谋事之初，银资乏匮，从者寥寥；起事之地，皆蔽寓荒斋，不在高阁；成事之基，无非寻常百姓，涓滴之献。

It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation’s apathy who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep.
It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized and proved that more than two centuries later a government of the people, by the people, and for the people has not perished from the Earth.
今日之胜，有赖一众热血青年，抛其家，别其室，不辞其苦，不计其酬，矻矻于 此——“国中青年爱国之心已泯”之谬论，今可休矣！今日之胜，有赖壮志未已之诸前辈，无惧寒暑，行走奔波，劝说民众。今日之胜，乃数百万美利坚民众之胜， 察其意，皆属踊跃为国，观其行，处处谨严有序，足堪告慰二百年前开国之先贤——民有、民治、民享之政体，未尝动摇也！

This is your victory.
嗟夫！此实诸位之功也！

And I know you didn’t do this just to win an election. And I know you didn’t do it for me.You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime — two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.
余知诸君之意非在此一选举，亦非在鄙人一身。盖瞻前路之艰辛，益知此任非同小可也。虽今夕欢贺于此，而明朝酒醒，大患仍自当前，不容有怠——两地烽烟熊熊而起，四海之内纷纷而乱，金融业界惶惶而不得宁。

Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after the children fall asleep and wonder how they’ll make the mortgage or pay their doctors’ bills or save enough for their child’s college education. There’s new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair.
是夜，饮宴笙歌之声不绝于耳，而异邦大漠群山中，吾国大好青年，兀自苦戍边 塞，惝恍竟夜，性命尚未得安。吾国千万庶民，为人父母者，兀自惴惴难眠，所忧者，乃房宅所贷、病患之费、抚育之资也。至若吾国能源之耗，百业之兴，庠序之 教，攻伐之术，怀远之道，亦皆吾等忡忡挂怀者也。

The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you, we as a people will get there.
渺渺乎其远，如不可达，危危乎其高，若不可攀。朝夕岁月，焉得成就？余不揣愚钝，愿以四载韶华，付诸此业，胜算何如虽不可知，然昂扬必胜之奇志，成就伟业之壮怀，平生未之有也。君子一诺，其重何如，此地今夕，愿斗胆发一狂言——吾辈既在，其事必成！

There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won’t agree with every decision or policy I make as president. And we know the government can’t solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And, above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it’s been done in America for 221 years — block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.
逶迤坎坷，份内之事。异见争端，料必有之。国中之政府，谅非无所不能者。余 所秉承不移者，唯忠信矣。倘有危难于前，必无欺瞒于世。诸君言论臧否，纵悖逆相左之议，余必当洗耳以聆。于此之外，更当恳请诸君，不吝心血，致力报效，以 振吾美利坚重兴之业。余亦别无他想，唯盼吾侪协力，延继吾国既肇二百二十一年之大统，汇涓滴之力，而成万世之业。

What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night. This victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. It can’t happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.
昔年冬日，余有志于斯，投身此业，屈指算来，倏然近二载矣。当此秋夜，追思 反省，仍无溃退逃亡之意。选战之胜，无非一役之功，余梦寐所思矢志所求者，非在乎此。溯源究本，此役之胜，不过革世变时一大好良机耳。倘止步于斯，垂手而 待，或无诸君倾力相援，则壮志丰功，无非泡影，诸般梦想，终必虚妄。

So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other. Let us remember that, if this financial crisis taught us anything, it’s that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers. In this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people.
爱国之心，报国之念，吾人固有之，然逢今日之世，此心此念亦当一变——吾辈各执己业，益当各竭其力，各尽其命，非但为一己之利，而更期普世之荣。今岁，金融业界动荡多舛，细审观之，当可以之为鉴——实业之损，亦是金融之伤。可知，既在邦域之内，吾辈荣辱休戚，皆相与共矣！

Let’s resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. Let’s remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House, a party founded on the values of self-reliance and individual liberty and national unity.Those are values that we all share.
党争纷纭，阴谋卑鄙，愚鲁无知，皆腐蚀清白、惑乱政局之弊也，其缘由已久，余今愿与诸君协力，共灭除之。昔年曾有此郡先贤，执共和党之帜，而掌总统府之权。自强独立，自由统一等信念，皆斯人之所倡，亦吾辈之所宗。

And while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress. As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, we are not enemies but friends. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.
今岁选战，吾民主党人幸有一胜，然谦逊和合之心未尝少减。余素信服者，乃山河破碎之际，林肯总统之言——“既是至亲，终不为敌。虽弩张剑拔，而血脉未尝断，情义不少减。”

And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your president, too.
固然，仍有四方志士，不为鄙人所动，另有高明之选。虽终悭此一票之缘，然诸君高论，余亦声声在耳，字字在心。倘能得诸君之援手，鄙人幸甚。他日待余总而统之，亦必不另眼以待也。

And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces, to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.
吾邦民众，散居天下，各安其命，而其志一也。吾邦鼎盛之势，今已乍现锋芒。

To those — to those who would tear the world down: We will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security: We support you. And to all those who have wondered if America’s beacon still burns as bright: Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.
至于心怀叵测，与世人为仇、与天下为敌者，吾邦猛志常在，彼等必取灭亡。心 思纯良，久慕大同者，吾辈当倾力以助，鼎力相援。犹疑未定，不知吾自由之邦兴衰如何者，吾辈愿以今日盛况以告之——美利坚之所以谓之“美”者，非刀兵之 强，金银之众，实民主、自由、机遇、梦想之美也！

That’s the true genius of America: that America can change. Our union can be perfected. What we’ve already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.
天自有道，地自有德，恩赋吾邦无上异禀——无他，唯变而已矣。美利坚变革不怠，合众国日趋尽善。当以过往先贤之伟绩，助吾侪今日之雄心，开子孙万世之辉光。

This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that’s on my mind tonight’s about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She’s a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.
今岁选战，多开亘古之先，屡传千秋佳话。感我至深者，亚特兰大之老妪安•尼克松•库帕也——库氏之一票，于数百万美利坚民众之选票无异，其所以引人称奇者，其人今岁高龄一百有六矣。

She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn’t vote for two reasons — because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.
当其父辈之时，天道不彰，黑人为奴。库氏其生也不逢时，汽车尚不行于道，飞机未曾起于空，库氏既属黑人，又系女流，票选一事，概无瓜葛。

And tonight, I think about all that she’s seen throughout her century in America — the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can’t, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.
今日今时，回溯库氏百岁之涯，但见吾邦先贤屡败屡战，且退且进，悲欣交集，甘苦杂陈。幸而正道存焉，壮志存焉，曰：吾辈既在，无所不能。

At a time when women’s voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.
万马齐喑，其事堪哀，吾邦女界怒而起，愤而争，苦战不歇，历数十载。幸哉库氏，以百岁之高龄，终得亲见女流自立于世，重获天赋之权——吾辈既在，无所不能！

When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs, a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.
当百业萧条，国人绝望哀鸣之际，库氏亲见吾美利坚出旷世之新政，挽狂澜于既倒，扶大厦之将倾，退畏惧之势，扶奋勇之心，终至人各有位，民心乃安——吾辈既在，无所不能！

When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.
当吾国良港遭袭，天下桀纣当道，暴政肆虐之时，库氏亲见豪杰群起，民主不衰——吾辈既在，无所不能！

She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that “We Shall Overcome.” Yes we can.
蒙哥马利公车之罢辍，伯明翰城黑人之群起，塞尔玛城血雨腥风之事，库氏般般亲历。更曾亲聆亚特兰大传教之士振臂登高之呼——“吾等必胜！”诚哉斯言！吾辈既在，无所不能！

A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change. Yes we can.
俟科学昌明于世，创想通贯一时，既登广寒之阙，又溃柏林之墙。洋洋乎！有百年如是，乃见今岁选战中，库氏之一票。浩浩兮！一百零六载交锋更迭，方有美利坚今日之变革——吾辈既在，无所不能！

America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves — if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?
转眼兴亡过手，而今迈步从头。追昔抚今，不禁扪心而问——俟再历百年岁月，倘吾等后辈儿孙，亦有得享高寿如库氏者，复可见何等之变数？吾辈今日之功，他年可得而见之乎？

This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.
所谓天命时运，莫过于此——当为吾邦万民造安身立命之业，为吾辈儿孙启各显 雄才之门，为寰宇各国创太平静好之世，为吾等壮志赋千秋不灭之元神。吾邦立国之本，必将光耀于天下。万千同胞，当如一人，一息尚存，梦想不灭。纵有世人旁 观在侧，而疑窦生焉，吾辈亦当以千秋不易之训共答之曰——吾辈既在，无所不能！

Thank you. God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America.
拜谢诸君。愿天佑吾民，天佑吾邦。

转眼可爱的小学妹也上班了。今天逛space看到她的这篇文章，让对精油一无所知的我颇长见识。引用至此。

引用

自然の精华

  茶树. 十一长假最后一天，早晨迷迷糊糊的时候觉得眼睛特别睁不开。起床后面对镜子，我的妈呀！右眼还没有左眼的一半大，肿得一塌糊涂。我被镜子里的自己吓着了，这样子怎么见人啊？难道请假今天就开始休息？可还有节前收尾的工作等着我呢>_<真是对我前阵子不注意用眼卫生的严厉惩罚。
怎么办？大学麦粒肿，当时医生有教过，眼睛对着装热水的杯口用热气蒸。于是还用这招，蒸了20多分钟觉得自己舒服点了，但是看上去还是蛮可怕滴，最后一次换水的时候想起来我的茶树精油，滴了一点，没想到到公司的时候，已经属于可以见人的状态，总算安心上完了最后一天班。
茶树有很好的杀菌效果，我在淘宝买的The Body Shop茶树精油，很多MM是来处理痘痘的。平时用来杀菌消炎也很不错，比如家里老妈老土到要熏醋的时候，你可以用茶树精油来代替

  柠檬. Camenae的柠檬精油是前年生日的时候，汪汪她们送我的礼物。当时是说觉得抑郁～后来还曾有过吃完饭觉得不消化的，都会闻闻，会缓和不少。冬天晚上会兑一两滴在面霜里，精油会加强保湿，柠檬也能美白改善气色。
现在柠檬是办公室用的精油，因为可以提神和治疗头痛。搭配用的是一个USB的小氧吧（不产生氧，但是有一些负离子），这淘宝上弄来的几十块钱的小东西，却可以让精油浓浓的持久地挥发，是每个同事都好奇然后赞一个

  薰衣草. 这可能是最会想让人拥有的单方精油了。舒缓精神、安眠、去疤等等～以前嫌贵没有买过，后来在淘宝发现新疆的国产货，竟然只要28块钱，就试验了下。没想到效果很好，中午在我的小氧吧里滴了2滴，结果整个办公室一下午飘香，有人埋怨我说于是整个下午犯困:D 不仅味道香浓，效果也出色，淡化痘印非常明显。晚上让房间里飘一些薰衣草香，也可以放松些更能安睡。

以前觉得精油虽然是自然的精华，但是比起实用价值还是贵。但随着生活的紧张、压力的增大和工作居住的环境变差，却逐渐感觉到了精油的好处。让我们这些可怜的城市人，靠精油来找一些放松一下，治疗我们脆弱的身体和心灵。

http://www.marco.org/261

I was a complete nerd in high school. (I make no claims either way about my current status.) I always tried to fit in with the cool people because I thought it mattered.

One night, I was hanging out with some cool people to work on a group project. We weren’t actually working, of course - we just hung around for a while, then they wanted to go get stoned while driving around. I didn’t drink or smoke, so I just sat in the back seat awkwardly while they smoked, planning my explanation to my mother about why my shirt smelled like pot.

One guy asked me, “Do you party?” (I’d happily name him, but don’t want to incriminate him.)

I had no idea that it wasn’t meant literally. I thought he was asking if I went to parties, which I further assumed to mean big teen drinking parties. I didn’t want to admit that I had never been to one in my life, so I bullshat slightly.

“Not really,” I said, “I’m just not that into it.” Looking back on this, knowing what he really meant, this probably made me sound a lot cooler than I intended.

“You do your own thing, huh? That’s cool, man.”

And that was it. Nobody looked down on me or thought I was a nerd for doing my own thing because I seemed perfectly content doing it.

I wasn’t truly comfortable doing my own thing until years later, but I remembered that night. A stoned guy’s idle conversation became the goal for my life outlook. No other statement or occurrence has been more fundamental in making me stop worrying about what other people think and do, which in turn makes it true.

Doing my own thing

What am I? I’ve never liked the restrictive classifications imposed by employers:

* Programmer: A meaningless, easily replaced translator between someone else’s specifications and source code.
* Software Engineer: Marginally more intelligent, but still having detailed algorithmic and structural specifications dictated by management without any real input.
* Software “Architect”: An asshole.
* Web Developer: Easy programming in “toy” scripting languages for those who can’t write C++. Alternatively, Spiderman.
* “Systems” anything: CS graduates who can’t program.
* Anything “Analyst”: MBAs who can’t program.
* Interaction Designer: Floaty psychology dropouts who conduct expensive tests to determine that the software engineers suck at design.
* Web Designer: Finicky artists who don’t understand how difficult that’s going to be in CSS and refuse to budge from their pixel-perfect PSDs.

What if I can program and design a decent interface? What if I can design, specify, and implement good code all by myself?

Ultimately, I hate being pigeonholed. I’m not “just” a programmer. That’s why I don’t work at large companies: I have multiple interests and don’t want to do the same tunnel-vision duty every day.

I have no idea what Marco.org is. It has switched between a discussion forum, an advice forum, a product review site, a satirical news site, a personal blog, and a tumblelog. Every time I’d redesign it, I would attempt to change what was. I used to object to people calling it a blog (since that used to be an insult), but the definition of blogs has become so broad that it doesn’t matter anymore.

Michael from 2blowhards recently described Marco.org:

If you do make a complete website, why be conventional about it? Here’s a guy whose website consists of a classic blog, a Tumblelog, a forum, and an About page. Although it’s his site, friends of his contribute to its contents too. Unusual and fun. […] Why get hung up on such 20th century notions as the individual author, the fixed voice, the core identity, and the stable self?

I don’t want Marco.org to be “just” a blog. I don’t want it to be “just” anything. I’ve written all of the code so it can be whatever I want at the moment, and it can evolve freely when that changes.

I do my own thing, and Marco.org is its own thing. I don’t let people pigeonhole me or my site, nor do I try to do it myself.

Marco.org ignores all conventional “wisdom” about blogging.

* There’s no title or tagline. I don’t know what they’d be.
* There isn’t a new post every day. Once a week is optimistic.
* The articles are longer than most internet readers’ attention spans.
* There’s no subject focus. Dan and I happily write about computers, fruit, real estate, politics, coffee, satire, pillowcases, the internet, video games, law, ventilation, movies, and puppies. Therefore, Marco.org doesn’t fit in any directories or advertiser niches.
* We never write stupid list posts. Top 10 things, 15 reasons, 7 ideas, etc.
* A recent change: I no longer have any desire to be featured on Digg. Writing for the Digg audience feels like trying to fit in with the cool kids in high school, and has the same payoff.

I don’t care if Google can’t target ads to my site because the subjects keep changing. I don’t care if N.A.D.D. readers miss the point of a big article because they idly skimmed it. And I don’t care if impatient new visitors can’t tell what the site is “about” by glancing at the header.

Don’t try to shove yourself into a particular bucket when it’s a crappy fit. If you don’t want to be a blog, don’t wedge your identity onto Wordpress. If you can program and design, don’t work as a “Software Engineer II” at a big company. Free yourself from other people’s perceived presets.

Do your own thing. It’s great.

Good night! Good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it be morrow.  - from 'Romeo and Juliet' by William Shakespeare

今天看完CSI802，结尾Placebo的歌声唱起来，我只想到莎翁这一句：分离是最甜蜜的伤痛。

看来演到第八季，CSI的阵容到了要调整的时候了。Expiry Date写在合同上，不过是一个日期，大家好来好散，后会有期。但是对于演员塑造的角色，在剧情里浮沉了八年，说再见也不是那么容易。

出国第二年开始追看CSI，记得第一次还是跟一个朋友到他家附近一个Gay吧对面的地下室去买到的盗版碟，一下六，七年了，中间换过专业，换过城市，换过男友，换过工作，但是CSI一直是最爱的娱乐项目。我想人人心中都至少有一项永远不会忘掉的娱乐项目，陪伴度过生命里最无忧无虑的，或者最苦闷的，或者最动荡的，或者最混乱的，或者最值得怀念的一段日子，与青春有关的日子。就像六七十年代的露天电影，或者比CSI更早一些的The X-Files，甚至连样板戏都可以算上吧，这些东西再回看的时候，就会不由自主地勾起当年初看时候的那些事，因为一路过来都看得投入，所以回溯时候也是百味杂陈。

我看太多的美剧，全套追完的也有不少，但是没有哪一套能和CSI相提并论，连CSINY都不能，记得当初没有条件上宽带的时候，居然用小猫拖过蝴蝶独白那颇震撼的一集。那年CBS开除两个演员，不相干的事情，却很执着地关注着，也因此认识了世界各地的很多朋友。因为CSI，

开始看Variety，学习尼尔森收视率，了解美国当代电视的发展，就更不用说那N多本法医鉴证类的洋文书。。。这些其实都跟我日常的生活，学习，职业，毫无关系。Life is elsewhere。这句话从两头看都是一个道理。

可能这种动辄演上几年的绵长电视剧，也有强烈的惯性吸引，虽然跟生活本身的重要决定没有什么关系，但是我总是觉得，世界上会有不少人在Friends的最后一集，或者the x-files的最后一集，甚至是黑道家族的最后一集播出完毕之后，决定就此改变自己的生活。Finale，我觉得是一个很有力量的词汇。也许它其实只是个trigger，也许人生路漫漫，需要找一个点作为结束，也就是标志新一阶段的开始。

CSI还没有结束，但是剧中我最喜欢的角色Sara Sidle，却因为电视网苛刻，使演员不想再续约而很有可能在年底前离开。802结尾，就是CSI全组在卡丁车场上玩得很High，而Sara一个人在围栏外微笑看着同事，笑容消失之后，是忧伤。目前的剧情里，她因为和老葛的感情曝光，而主动要求调去小夜班，也就是说车场上那群人，除了老葛，以后很少有机会再碰到。有人说，就好像是大学毕业的时候，明明知道这群同学都可以随时联络，距离也并不遥远，通讯也发达，聚会也可以很频繁，但是散伙饭桌上也一定会哭，因为属于这群人的这段日子，再也不会有。我觉得这个调动的桥段最终会引致她彻底离开CSI，从电视屏幕上消失。不久了，也就是5集之后。而她离开之后，我估计我也不会再追看这部戏，对我来说，它的黄金时代已经结束。Parting is such sweet sorrow。

时机倒是很合，十天之后我就要外出旅行，连续一个月不会看到新剧情，等我回来，估计离开那集也已经演完了。是出走，还是速死，到现在还不知道。等我回来，自己的生活也会是有大变化的时候，再没有理由享受假期了，处理掉澳洲的一切，奔赴美国。有时候想想，觉得已经settle down了之后又结束一切重新到另一个地方开始新的生活，是很自我折磨的一件事，想想前面乱七八糟的事情，也觉得头大。但是愿望有些时候可以胜过惰性，就是那些愿望特别强烈的时候，甚至连撞墙的决心都准备好了。Randy Pausch说：Brick walls are there for a reason: they let us prove how badly we want things。

还是很舍不得CSI，以后还是会看，但是也许是时候parting了。

So，Let's go。

忙乱的一天，接下去还有忙乱的一周。项目前期正是到了节骨眼上集体抓狂的时刻，颇刺激，也很锻炼人。所以虽然累，却又很兴奋。以前读书的时候，还有工作之后，最怕的不是遇到难题，而是无事可做。也许是天生命贱，上班无所事事就会觉得guilty，项目没有挑战性，又觉得是浪费光阴。现在大项目像山一样压下来，日子难过是肯定的，但是也确实觉得timeline每勾掉一项，留下的都是宝贵的经历，每天都在学习更多的东西。

想到这些，是觉得很多时候，难关是肯定有，不同的人，选择也不同。我想我是那种“世上无难事，只要肯登攀”类型的人，而且牛人越多的地方我越喜欢，因为我相信接触的高人越多，学习的机会也越多。谁也不是生下来就是高人牛人，怕他们作甚？我特地跑到FM的Blog上把这句话摘来，也是《Sports Night》里我最喜欢的一句台词：If you are dumb, surround yourself with smart people. And if you are smart, surround yourself with smart people who disagree with you.

机会来的时候，如果是我，我绝对不会退的。

母親很內向，卻有無比堅毅的忍耐力，缺點是常被欺負，所以我出世後，有知覺感應的時候開始，便會隨手拿着一些硬物，包括機械人玩具的斷臂、竹枝、鞋、掃把、筷子等等，在必要時拿著這些<武器> 保護母親，怒視敵人，那時我只有五歲...

三歲定八十，原來那時我已經是嬰孩版「烈女」．
