Paranoia is in bloom,
The PR transmissions will resume,
They’ll try to push drugs that keep us all dumbed down,
And hope that we will never see the truth around
(So come on)
Another promise, another scene,
Another packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed,
And all the green belts wrapped around our minds,
And endless red tape to keep the truth confined
(So come on)
They will not force us,
They will stop degrading us,
They will not control us,
We will be victorious
(So come on)
Interchanging mind control,
Come let the revolution take it’s toll,
If you could flick a switch and open your third eye,
You’d see that
We should never be afraid to die
(So come on)
Rise up and take the power back,
It’s time the fat cats had a heart attack,
You know that their time’s coming to an end,
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend
They will not force us,
They will stop degrading us,
They will not control us,
We will be victorious

January 12, 2010, at 9:29 pm It’s been a while since I last hit the “New Post” button on the back-end dashboard. Yes I have really been busy with work and life for a while. Got some new projects coming up very soon. Will keep everyone posted.
About writing in English, I really don’t see the point of separating sites or systems. So unlike some of my friends (let’s say savagett in LA, who writes both in Chinese and in English), I’ve decided just to open a new category: In English, which can be found at the end of the lower navigation bar ↗ throughout the website. After all, this is a blog of a Chinese person living in China who has been blogging in Chinese for 4 years and been speaking it since born. I will, however, try to write more in English for sure (and read more too, as I said in the hidden new year’s resolution).
Some of my best buddies are at crossroads of their life now, I would like to light some candles for them tonight:
Peggy, get laid! Stanley, get well! Michelle, dream come true on your next destination! (of both trip & life)
and for EVERYONE ELSE, get (more) love!
If you want to learn more of what I do and/or care about everyday, feel free to follow my whining on twitter @_Lucy_ or go here if you’re trapped behind the walls.

December 30, 2009, at 1:17 pm 2010应该是我关注国际消费电子展 CES (Consumer Electronics Show) 的第四个年头了。教主乔老身体越加脆弱，苹果产品除了平板电脑也差不多暂时停滞。而今年人们将把目光转向Google。
 当前互联网上最热门的一则新闻：一周之后的1月5日（北京时间1月6日），Google将在加州山景城总部举行一次颇为神秘的（仅凭邀请函进入）和Adroid智能手机有关的发布会——日期刚好在CES大展开幕前两天，也是众多参展商招开发布会的前一天。这场新闻发布会被各界人士认为，谷歌将推出型号为Nexus One的自主品牌手机。
Nexus One的命名据说是来自我最喜欢的导演Ridley Scott的科幻史上里程碑电影Blade Runner《银翼杀手》和其原著小说里的Nexus-6。但据原著作者后代说Google并没有取得任何命名许可，所以名字似乎就会让其陷入一场官司。
这次Google的创新之处是不同于苹果的销售方式。Nexus One不会被锁，这意味着消费者可以不与运营商签订长期合同。（开放的精神是发展壮大的前提啊！）有消息称Nexus One也会在1月5日早上开售，价格依然不明。(via: Wired) [更新最新消息：$530 非合同版，T-Mobile合同版$180 (via: cnet)]
谷歌周二通过电子邮件发出邀请函，邀请业界人士参加将于明年1月5日召开的这次新闻发布会。在这份邀请函中，谷歌仅透露此次会议是“一次Android新闻发布会”。邀请函显示，此次新闻发布会的具体时间是加利福尼亚时间2010年1月5日10:00(北京时间1月6日2:00)，“展示”时间为该日11:30到13:00(北京时间1月6日3:30到5:00)。谷歌发言人拒绝透露更多细节。
 2007年1月Steve Jobs在Macworld keynote上第一次向大家引荐了iPhone，在我和各位geeks心中掀起了智能手机疯狂热潮。接下来的的CES大展期间iPhone就抢尽了风头，众多记者和业内外人士在拉斯维加斯会场挤成一团。6个月后上市第一天纽约第五大道苹果旗舰店就排得水泄不通了。（当月的最后一节英语听说课是自由分享，我给大家放了乔布斯的iPhone演示视频，得到了许多和我第一次看到iPhone时一样的wow式惊愕。）后来事实证明我对iPhone的关注是绝对有道理的，它无疑已成为了无数人心中21世纪头十年的最佳技术革新。
CES至今已有42年历史，它见证了几乎全部当代的人类科技进步。以下可以载入史册的电子产品均是在历届CES拉开序幕然后才逐渐被大家所熟悉，直到成为我们日常生活中不可分割的一部分。
