Team 2 in Action

29 Apr - W+K Shanghai Celebration of Founder's Day
Mission#1 One person on the team must go out and buy the most outrageous set of pajamas (and house slippers)... wear it around town for the day and take as many pictures as you can on the street with as many random people.

Team 2 in action: Celes the baozupo (Landlady)







Mission#2 Two people on the team must get Ken and Barbie makeovers at the Barbie Superstore.
Coming soon...

Mission#3 Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a Sherpa's delivery guy? One person from the team must put on the Sherpas FULL outfit and make the delivery.

Team 2 in action: Go Lucy Go!!
We got to the address in NO time - thanks to Moi the Shanghai map :)



Oooops... Lucy received a cancellation call just when we arrived the delivery address on Xinzha Lu. Totally gutted!!!

After 20 minutes we received a second address and hit the road again... finally Lucy in her Sherpas outfit and ready to go.



Security check.. so what would we say what the hack i (the photographer) was there for? Umm research sponsored by World Expo 2010...


Mission accomplished.


Mission#4 Man-only task. One on the team get waxed at Helen's Spa.. Bikini, Brazilian or we dare you the 'Playboy'. Achillis what's your style??

Gals getting excited next door...


Mission#5 Sing your hearts out.

Peter+Achilles 死了也要爱 (something along the lines of 'i'll love even if i die')

Peace...




Getting heated...


Peter up against the ceiling

This would be the ultimate fun and fantasy for a 3 year old - can totally imagine Charlie go bezirk on such activities - could it be the secret of art? revisit early stage of life and reveal the forbidden beauty.

“Web 2.0 Is F*Cked”

"The end of Web 2.0 and the dawn of a new age of individualism, driven primarily by Twitter".


First impression: bit of an overstatement. And - is twitter not based on and driven by web2.0? Agree with Marcus Ogawa: "Culture is often labeled as a time period, but its influences will always be eternal... It’s not “fucked” its just going to be folded into the every changing culture and reintroduced as mainstream elements."

StevePB: "I find it shocking and fundamentally disconcerting that from Keen’s diatribe (and most of the comments) that something (e.g. Web 2.0 site/tool/product) has to generate revenue in order to be worthwhile."

And Web 2.0 does generate profit, it just doesn’t flow to all the players in the right way yet. The formulas will change. Apple and AT&T are making money from Web 2.0 - Facebook and Youtube drove a lot of iPhone sales. Web 2.0 enabled this ecosystem

Enough stating the obvious.. what am i gonna wear to the F1 party tomorrow eve?

Chateauneuf du Pape, wine of the Popes

Yes I am joining Yangjiu.com wine class this week in search for answers to many crucial questions: Why is Chateauneuf-du-Pape called the vineyard of the Popes? Can vine really grow on stones? How many grape varieties are officially authorized in the Chateauneuf-du-Pape AOC? Can wine really have animal aromas? What is the Rhone? What is a valley? Where is South????

云计算七问七答/ Cloud computing Q&A (in Chinese)

根据维基百科的定义，云计算最宽松的定义是这样的：它是一种计算方式，通过互联网将资源“以服务”的形式提供给用户，而用户不需要了解、知晓或者控制支持这些服务的技术基础架构（“云”）。（It is a style of computing in which resources are provided “as a service” over the Internet to users who need not have knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure (”in the cloud”) that supports them.）

如果你对这样的定义没问题，那非常好，不用再浪费时间看下去，去喝杯咖啡吧。

很可惜这样的定义在我听来似乎宽松的有点夸张了，因为这样说来，我在家里摆几支iPhone跑些服务并开放API给人用，其实也算是云计算喽？（还是高雅的Apple云哩）就因为这该死的好奇心，我花了几天时间调查并整理了些相关资料，现在总算比较有个头绪了。

精神病院，这是一个盲人患者。当他感到有人在他面前时，便会重复说：“他们欺负我。”天津 1989。作者：吕楠。

这样一幅冲击人心灵的黑白摄影在中国今天，具有特别的感染力，画面中的那个盲人不只是那个精神病院里的“那个盲人”，而是来自更多双看不到希望的眼睛，来自社会底层更多的无助的表情，来自更多的人们心里的那份悲凉，来自更多的对公义呼求的渴盼，强权欺压从流氓、牢霸、城管、警察到一个体制一个政府，如同病毒蔓延，而申诉的路途遥遥，而真相的指望茫茫，而冤屈的泪水如注。读《诗经》，也不过如此。

有人说，我们要共建和谐社会。
有人说，他们欺负我。

GUTEN TAG, GUTEN TOUCH

向互动艺术家致敬

GUTEN TOUCH from Multitouch Barcelona on Vimeo.SEP 08 - OCT 08

Designed for the Red Bull Music Academy 08, Guten Touch is an interactive installation that involves people into a natural relationship with technology. A two projected display system plus a 3m x 2m multitouch wall showcase applications designed to engage us into human friendly experiences rather than flashy and jaw-dropping visualizations. Space Invaders hitted by foam balls, pixel paintings created with brushes and digital objects holded by hands try to blur boundaries between real and digital.

Guten Touch is our enthusiastic good morning to natural interaction.

Happening NOW on this Planet

The Twitter Wingman

According to Wired’s Danny Dumas and Steven Leckart, Twitter is introducing the Wingman, a handheld, pager-like device for all things Twitter on the go.

Very cute! But who'd want to carry an extra piece of gadget on top of mobile phone and ipod and a camera... on the go? I wouldn't - my bag is the size of an A16 size notebook and i choose to have my phone every time. Why not simply a mobile app - esp. with 3G coming soon to China and 4G the rest of the world. Question is, what are the tech constraints for such app?

ps - my twitter id: J4NELOU and thanks for following in advance.
