Iron Man

Posted by: pureessence on: May 5, 2008

If you haven’t seem the new Marvel movie Iron Man, you really should! We watched with some friends yesterday. It was highly entertaining and impressive. All these super hero movies are similar but this one definitely has its uniqueness. I love his humorous conversation with his robots. You cannot obviously question all the science to [...]

花非花

Posted by: pureessence on: March 26, 2008

花非花,雾非雾。夜半来天明去。 来如春梦几多时?去似朝云无觅处。 小时候上语文课要背许多古诗。大多数是唐诗。前几年回国我特地买了一本《唐诗三百首》以为会学一些新诗。其实脑子里有印象的诗还是小时候讨厌背的东西。记忆最深的是这首白居易的《花非花》。这首诗对我来说很特别。它不是语文老师而是音乐老师教的。教它的目的是为了让我们学为这首诗写的歌。教之前老师让我们闭上眼睛,在我们脑海里打造了这首诗的弥朦境界。那时的我可能只有小学三年级。但我被催幻了被打动了。我仿佛真的进入了诗人的世外桃源。我想那是我对诗词的情窦初开吧。

twitter and pownce

Posted by: pureessence on: March 26, 2008

Thanks to daynah. I now belong to two more these online social networking sites: pownce & twitter. Hey, you can watch a video on twitter even. pownce is prettier and better written and gives you more control but less popular than twitter. Talking about great tools for online stalking. It’s scary but it makes me [...]

Falling Leaves

Posted by: pureessence on: March 25, 2008

This book hit something deep inside of me. I can draw so many parallels between Niang and my own mother. Even Lydia’s behaviors remind me of my mother. It reminds me how my mother used to fall asleep and snore in 20 minutes while I was heart broken and sobbing unceasingly next to her hurt [...]

I got a flickr pro account

Posted by: pureessence on: March 2, 2008

I purchased a flickr pro account for two years today. I never used flickr much but recently I revisited the falbum plugin for wordpress and was quite impressed not only with the plugin but the flickr API. I then revisited flickr to upload some of the baby photos for bubo and misty and found their [...]

IE input background image issue

Posted by: pureessence on: February 28, 2008

IE strikes AGAIN! Just when I thought I was 100% done with the revamp of New Millennium, I noticed an UI issue in IE. I’m surprised I didn’t notice this before. It shouldn’t be anything new. I did some google research but didn’t find anyone mentioning it either. Applying background image to input tags should [...]

my computer at work

Posted by: pureessence on: February 19, 2008

I was contracted out as a consultant for a new company three weeks ago. They had a computer ready for me but it was not set up correctly so I could actually do work. I finally got my new one last Thursday. I guess they made it a worthwhile wait. It’s pretty decent ya think?
