再来一张

今天刚刚在经济系做完了一个talk，他们师生对我款待有加，又认识了一个数学系的新朋友，很高兴。最近忙得不可开交，用Ajay的话说就是work my ass off. 所以今天晚上决定放假，给老爸老妈打打电话再顺便骚扰一下朋友们。



在公寓门口的一个小湖，是我每天上下班都会深情注视的地方

我在Austin的时候也曾经在townlake边住过好长时间，从那时候起我就发现湖上的景色会随季节，光线，天气变化而绝然不同。可惜我要搬家了，上下班还会经过上面这个小湖，但不会像现在这样不费力气就可以看个够了。

更新：这是以前秋天照的

Motorola Razor V3M

经刘高同学推荐买的sprint Motorola v3m 手机真是个费电大户，差不多每天都要充一次。好在我刚刚发现它可以从计算机的USB接口充电。我最喜欢的一点是它可以拍照--效果虽然不怎么样但是十分方便。



雨中的Downtown，我在traffic中拍下



沐浴在夕阳光辉中的Memorial Hall, 漂亮吧？

不知道为什么有的照片出来只有小图片，而有的则是大的，这款手机太有个性了。

pre-hypertension

pre-hypertension 也就是轻度血压偏高吧, 是我这次体检的结果.体检医生建议我观察自己的血压不要让它发展为高血压. 我回来查了一下, 我没有什么既往诱因, 除了一条: sedentary lifestyle (久坐之人), 看来坐办公室久了还真是害人啊. 以后要多起来舒展一下枝丫什么的.

希望之火

希望之火有一个特性，他的每次跳动都会牵动你的心，他因此美丽而致命。

土星的色彩可以惊艳来形容

NASA's Cassini returns a new array of Saturn's picture. They are stunningly beautiful. I immediately picked one as my new desktop picture -- guess which one i have picked? I wonder if the nature has a better sense of color than most of us do, at least seen from the picture below.

PS: it seems that it is just difficult for me to post in Chinese, because english words come to my mind first.

我们为什么blog

Seth Roberts writes:

“Blogging, of course, is one of the ultimate forms of self-experimentation,” Tyler Cowen wrote me. I wasn’t quite sure what he meant. He explained: “Your blood pressure, how your brain is working, what new ideas you have, how your attention span has changed, how you now read other people’s work differently, who you find yourself liking more (and less), etc. I believe those effects [of blogging] are often quite striking.”

Blogging makes us more oriented toward an intellectual bottom line, more interested in the directly empirical, more tolerant of human differences, more analytical in the course of daily life, more interested in people who are interesting, and less patient with Continental philosophy. All you bloggers out there, or spouses of bloggers, what effects do you notice?

的确有些道理. 因为在blog过程也是一个筛选过程, 一些信息和想法被选中和放大. 而写作的过程也是一个分析的过程, 使得转瞬即逝的想法得以分析,保存和经历时间的检验.

blog again

曾经在MSN上有一个personal blog, 后来删掉了. 现决定投靠Google. 只找到了原来的残缺不全的几篇搬过来. 我不知道该怎么定位这个blog, 所以title 为 Waiting for inspiration...
