Mak的Blook

Mak的Blog终于成卷,使更多人有机会在网络之外分享他的支教经历。他自己也很激动地认为这是中国少有的Blook。我有幸第一时间看到,并豆瓣之供大家选评。(这几天豆瓣本身在Ideas Factory 内被热评,也是社会化过滤的一个对象)本人对豆瓣的杂元化不认同很久,所以也就不够客气。然而,这就是见仁见智,最终可能会成为豆团队的决策参考,不是更好的社会智慧吗?

无墨打印是创新

Zink(含义为Zero Ink,无墨),思路很简单,就是让墨盒退休。而创新就是在于简化-简化-再简化。

不用墨盒和色带,而只靠纸张(当然是加工的纸张)就能够随时输出一张精美相片(或者文件),这个创新值得被投资,哪一家VC在跟?

给Google 中国策略的三个建议

不是给Google中国公司,而是给Google 美国公司的公开建议:

1. 建立10亿美元的风险基金投资中国非邪恶的网站

2. 全面研发穿透GFW的服务和工具,并赞助其他工具

3. 提高个人Google Adsense用户的单价,寄送更多美金给他们

详细会写在英文公开信中。

New book to read: Intelligent Universe

How will it be to our universe in the future(long long future)? Will human beings eventually change the cosmos with its intelligence? The new book “Intelligent Universe” written by James N. Gardner and forward by Ray Kurzweil may tell us some new ideas. The universe may be changed by our(or similar intelligence) eventually and turn to a new direction of evolving? Maybe, in this way, we can rediscovery “God”, or reinvent “God” with a super-intelligence thinking. It also triggers me to think about another book, “The Language of God“, by Francis Collins, who claims their findings on Genome Project enhanced his belief that scientific discoveries bring man �closer to God�.

We can find the similar vision hidden in Social Software revolution based on Internet, which  were called “Web 2.0″ by many business men. More and more people becomes mind-opened in this age. Their ideas and thought become well connected and a new kind of super-intelligence emerged as a whole, what we called it Social Brain. It’s still very early stage that we don’t know the format even in the nearest future. With reading the books above?I believe there will be more answers from the practice on Internet in the coming decades. Singularity is much more hopeful.

请别阻止高耀洁女士出国领取奖项

社会越来越自我进步,连喉舌部门之一的新闻出版署都意识到了自己的错误(或者失误),找了一个台阶下,其他部门也不要螳臂当车如何?起码让老人家去散散心也好,何必浪费纳税人的钱财围追堵截八旬老太呢 :)

吸烟和精神压力

去年是禁烟的里程碑年,法国的行动利落,欧盟其他地区也在酝酿公共场所禁烟的法令。香港“香烟警察”开始上岗,袅袅然禁烟的压力也到了中国。

吸烟和压力有关,当下中国的各种精神压力已经让人无法抬头,所以吸烟是很多人的出口。但是科学认真起来,人人都明白越吸烟,越无法解脱,反而增加更多肌体的负担。

我一向无法接受香烟,到了“过午”的年纪就更加惜命,而且开始看轻其他吸烟的人,在各种场合去劝阻。倒不是不尊重其他人的选择权利,而是希望吸烟者也能够尊重别人的珍稀空气资源。发现自己对这一点开始有点偏执,如同激进的环保主义者一样,这可能又走了极端,要注意。

支持公共场所禁烟,道理很简单,就是要相互尊重。自己不吸烟,道理也很简单,不能给自己双重压力。

再用去年Blog被禁时在Blogbus上寄居临时引用的禁烟宣传图片。当时写的一句话很恐怖。
