願歡樂常在 - 生活記事 May the Joy Around You Always


http://i.imgur.com/3jcEMUf.jpg?3


四歲的兒子喜歡熱鬧,對於具有歡樂性質的活動與場合特別敏銳,他會好好利用這樣難得的機會,讓他平常被壓抑的尖叫衝動與表演慾能夠在大人們特別寬容的時刻,得到一定程度的能量釋放。


所以,他特別喜歡切蛋糕這件事,在他甚至還無法理解生日代表什麼的年紀。他媽媽了解兒子,也喜歡他快樂,所以,原本並不特別重視的一些節日或是誰誰誰生日,甚至只是表阿姨送個小糕點過來,也會稍微twist一下,表達出party的歡樂氣氛,甚至有蠟燭的話就吹一下,為吹而吹,只為快樂,不為什麼。總之,只要他在,蠟燭就是他要吹,不管可能壽星在場。但看他認真用力吹,吹完樂得哈哈笑的模樣,沒有人會跟他計較。


前幾天,終於真的他的生日到了,媽媽說,他已經越來越懂事,這次就用週末時間,讓他好好玩一下,體會一下真正的生日派對。媽媽邀了阿姨來,晚餐訂了比薩跟炸雞,蛋糕特別去附近烘焙店訂做了他喜歡的麵包超人造型蛋糕,甚至還買了派對高帽子跟笛音吹氣棒來瘋一下…


果不其然,小子從晚餐就嗅出歡樂氣氛,開始不受控制,等到阿姨晚餐後到,媽媽端出卡通蛋糕,拿出派對帽子,吹起笛音氣球,他簡直瘋狂到不行,一下子轉圈圈,一下子來段自創表演,一下子巴著阿姨說湯馬士小火車的各種角色… 是一個他幾個月以來少見的瘋狂歡樂夜。


快樂的終結,就是一種悲傷。他是個不擅長處理別離的孩子,每每客人要告辭,最後他總是以大哭收場,那天當然也不例外。阿姨走後,我們迅速處理完他睡覺前的例行公事,陪他看了會兒書以便情緒可以冷靜。終於他也有了睡意,跟著媽媽進房間,睡到他的小床上。媽媽陪他說了一會兒話之後,他終於睡了。


媽媽出來後跟我轉述。兒子說,「馬麻,我會怕怕。如果我睡覺起來,我們的家不見了怎麼辦?如果把拔馬麻不見了,那怎麼辦那怎麼辦?」媽媽當然是好好地安慰他,哄他了。只是,從這樣的轉述中,除了想當然爾的愛憐,更讓我學到的是:原來,許多關於人生的真理,這麼早,就已經刻畫在先天的人性當中。


得與失是相生的,愛與失去愛,甚至恨與不再恨,都是對應出現的。佛家裡對於愛恨情緒,認為都是一種「我執」,尋求心靈上的歸零,才能有平靜。金剛經著名的「一切有為法,如夢幻泡影,如露亦如電,應作如是觀」,大概也是這樣的意思。


不論是與阿姨歡樂相聚後的離別,還是睡前對於擁有「美好」家庭過於快樂而導致害怕失去的情緒,都是他往後人生會持續出現的戲碼,只是有時候我們並不知道,或是後來就拒絕歡樂,以免失去,拒絕愛,以免受傷。就像是薛家燕在食神裡吃了史蒂芬周的黯然消魂飯之後說:「為什麼讓我吃到一碗這麼好的叉燒飯,以後我吃不到怎麼呀!」


看著他熟睡的臉龐,我輕輕地撫摸著。孩子,爸爸會一直在這裡,一直陪著你長大。愛,往往總是讓人,熱淚盈眶。


附上蛋糕店略為失敗的作品。一點也不減損這蛋糕的歡樂價值。

JB's Diner - A famous brunch place in Taipei Tian Mu 天母好吃熱門的早午餐餐廳 JB's Diner


Last time I introduced a un-traditional market in Tian Mu. On that day, we actually had a great brunch nearby in a also very famous brunch restaurant of Taipei. Let me also share it with you today.


上次我們去了天母士東市場探險。當天我們去之前,是在一家非常有名的早午餐餐廳吃得非常滿足後才去的。今天就跟大家也分享一下這家餐廳與餐點吧!


A traditional market in a un-traditional way - neat, clean and coffee inside! 有趣的台北天母士東市場


JB’s Diner is one of the amazing brunch places in Taipei, a western-style restaurant serving diner style food (breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner) all day long. They’re located in the heart of the Tian Mu area of Taipei behind Shinkong Mitsukoshi deparment store. According to some bloggers, JB’s Diner has that classic American Diner food but less greasy and more on the healthy side. Their food has very large portion and the price is considered cheap for the quality and quantity you are getting.


The following photo was shot from their 2F - the main dining area. As you can see they have a great view outside the window.


JB’s Diner是台北天母一間非常知名的早午餐餐廳,主要餐點是美式餐點,全天候從早餐到晚餐時段都提供。位於天母新光三越百貨旁巷子內。餐點份量很大,價格並不特別貴,因此人氣十足,假日一定要訂位,否則可能要等很久。以下是從二樓主要用餐區拍攝的窗景,可以看到用餐區有很棒的視野,氣氛非常輕鬆愉快。


http://i.imgur.com/wwn4OGh.jpg


This is 1F with limited seats but the sign says it all: “ EAT HERE - Satisfying Your Hunger “ To me this decoration is very American style. If you prefer bar seats and wanna talk to the chef, stay here. Most customers go upstairs.


一樓只有有限的吧台座位,如果你一個人來,想找廚師服務生聊聊天,可以考慮坐這裡,但是大部分客人都會上樓,二樓才是主要座位區。一樓的裝飾很美式,簡潔的招牌寫著 “ EAT HERE - Satisfying Your Hunger “ 簡單,明瞭。


http://i.imgur.com/o2X249r.jpg


We orederd three sets of brunch for only my wife and me. Not because we eat a lot but for we rarely come to Tian Mu and this restaurant is famous so we (actually just my wife who likes to try new things) just order more if needed. Here we go. The first one is the classic American burger - See the big juicy chunk of beef in the burger, magnificant pickles, tomato slice and lettuce and the famous JB fires with cheese and some bacon … Really… worry about losing weight later and just have a BIG bite!!


我們兩人點了三放早午餐,不是我們吃得多,而是因為比較少來天母,這間店又是天母的早午餐名店,有機會來當然要多嚐嚐看囉!吃不完(後來確實吃不完,因為份量太大了)再打包吧!首先端上的是,經典美式漢堡!看看那漢堡麵包裡那塊看起來美味多汁誘人的大塊牛肉,生菜蕃茄以及非常酸而美妙的醃黃瓜放在旁邊,光用想的都受不了了!更別說旁邊的知名炸薯條,淋上起司並灑上一點培根…. 真的,就先別管什麼體重,健康問題了,先咬上一大口再說吧!


http://i.imgur.com/Khqu2qs.jpg


Next one is the Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon. I’ve always loved the outlook of this classical dish - really looks delicious and geometrically beautiful. But I don’t particular like so much egg and I am also not a fan of muffins. My wife ordered this and she enjoyed it very much. Since we have fries already, hash brown was selected as the potato option. “hash” brown … cool. :-)


第二道也是知名的班乃迪克蛋,兩顆半熟蛋(水波蛋),上面澆上荷蘭醬(奶油,蛋黃蛋白與檸檬等材料做成),置於Muffin上,這道是選擇煙燻鮭魚當主料。我特別喜歡這到料理的外型,看起來非常完美而可口。只是,實際上我並不特別喜歡吃這麼多蛋,也沒有特別愛吃Muffin,所以是我老婆點的。配菜選擇煎薯餅,煎薯餅英文是hash brown,讓我想起hash是加密貨幣理常見的一個技術詞彙。


http://i.imgur.com/ZtgTvrF.jpg


Last, we have the Mexican Wraps shredded sausages. I really like this one although it doesn’t look particularly splendid. The sour cream, the ingredients, the salsa sauce… all tasted GREAT and SPICY! Just love the flavor… also comes with a small fruit salad. By the way, it would be a great loss to American if you shut the door to Mexico.


最後是墨西哥捲餅。看起來沒什麼,因為好東西都捲在裡面了。內容物是生菜,煎炒碎香腸與酸奶油等,配上辣辣的莎莎醬,實在是又辣又好吃啊!墨西哥是個充滿各式美妙文化的地方,可千萬別蓋高牆擋住啊!


http://i.imgur.com/dqSHOjz.jpg


It was really a satisfying brunch for us - giving us all the engery needed to stroll through this interesting neighborhood and explore the Shi Dong market that we had never been too. A final photo shows the front of JB’s Diner. Oh, sorry about my car blocking the sight … I couldn’t find a parking space so I just parked in front of the store, giving no regards to any fines that might incur because I am just filthy rich…. 


Sorry, where was I? :-)


這一頓早午餐,份量既足又非常美味,我們吃得很開心,還打包帶走不少。一頓好早餐,讓人充滿能量,讓我們那一天走遍天母附近有趣的街道巷弄,也去了士東市場。最後一張照片是餐廳正面照,抱歉,我的車擋到一點,因為當天我找不到停車位,就索性停在店門口,不管可能會被開罰單,反正老子超級有錢,錢多到花不完嘛!…. 


抱歉,一時失神,我說到哪兒了?:)


http://i.imgur.com/3ZXXD8L.jpg


HOPE YOU ENJOY THE FOOD & THE FUN!! 希望你”看”得很開心囉!:)

短篇故事-少年和他的綠色戰機 (四) A Short Story - D and his Green Fighter Jet - part 4


https://img1.steemit.com/0x0/http://dirtyimg.com/image/greenfighterjet.png


在學BASIC之前,D從來不知道有程式語言這種「語言」,從來不知道玩了一陣子的電腦,其實並不聰明,它們只識得0跟1,當然,說識得也是抬舉了,它們不過是IC上的電晶體因為電壓變化產生閘道開關效果,讓電子流流過或流不過,而產生數位意義的0跟1,進而從太極兩儀,經由石英高速震盪頻率,激盪出萬千變化的數位世界


但是當然,D即使學了BASIC,也還不懂這些,那都是很後來的事了,像是高三畢業升大學的暑假,他到附近大學對外界招生的課程學了C語言之後,才開始懂得所謂的二進位系統,也才開始對於電腦運作原理有更深的了解。


但即使是學BASIC,都帶給他無比的成就感與快樂。國中英文課的單字,竟然在這裡成為指令,可以命令電腦裡住的程式精靈,向左向右,多一少一,至於效果如何,那就是寫程式的「人」的問題了。IF/THEN是一對的條件指令,「如果你愛我,那就多陪陪我?」不,那是人類的語言,而且通常這樣說的時候,他已經不愛你了… 不,IF/THEN就是字面上的如果IF的條件成立,那麼就執行THEN的動作。還有例如PRINT,就是個輸出的動作指令,不像是你叫你3歲孩子說蘋果的英文,他儘管早就會這單字,卻故作不知,或是故意念Appu或是講Banana,PRINT就是PRINT,沒有模糊空間,叫它PRINT Apple,不會變成Bpple,有錯的話,那就是寫程式的人的錯,有個術語就是BUG,有蟲子。


還有些關於寫程式的觀念,同一個數字可以是數字,也可以是字串,就是文字的意思,這是資料型態的觀念,因為,電腦真的並不聰明,或者也可以說,人腦遠比我們以為的要聰明…


隨著他學會一個又一個基本指令咒語,認識更多資料運作的魔法原理,D逐漸熟悉了如何「說」這個「語言」,逐漸能夠用它來構築一個個從最經典的基本「hello, world!」功能,到試著製作一個簡單的加減乘除的計算機等等。隨著D開始學習思考怎麼把程式寫出來,他開始發現,課堂上有時枯燥無聊的數學,竟然常常在寫程式的過程當中,可以派上用場。「老師們實在是太蠢了」他想,「先教我們寫程式再教數學,不就會有趣多了嗎?那就不會有人睡覺了吧!」


國中二年級時,開始上資訊課。那時,台灣開始重視電腦教育,但電腦並不是家家戶戶都負擔得起,學校會有一間電腦教室,擺滿20-30台電腦,輪到上課的班級就到電腦教室來,還不能人人一台,2-3人要共用。其實也剛好,那時對電腦有概念的人,或是被教個幾堂課就能有概念的學生,並不多。所以,每台電腦前總會有個最在行的人領頭,其他人沒興趣的就能混過去。想當然爾,D就是自己那組的領頭羊囉。


老師教的,D早就都已經自學會了。但電腦課還是很有趣,因為不用聽老師教,還可以自己繼續進行自己要做想做的事,不亦樂乎。終於,到接近期末的時候,老師終於給了一個沒有標準答案的作業:在電腦上繪出圖形並讓它移動。


D很重視這次作業。不是因為他是好學生,而是因為作業就像是競技場,有10幾組競爭者,一方面組員要依賴他,不能丟臉,一方面,D心底隱隱地想,好好借這次機會,讓大家瞧瞧他的厲害。


當時,美國經典的電影「捍衛戰士」 (TOP GUN)很紅,沒有男生不想當又酷又帥的Maverick湯姆克魯斯(當然也是因為教官太…那個了)。


所以,D決定,要畫一架戰鬥機,一架會飛行的戰鬥機。




… [未完待續] …

Introducing CoolWallet - A Cool Bitcoin Hardware Wallet - with Steemit Exclusive Discount! [limited time] 介紹很酷的比特幣錢包CoolWallet並提供Steemit獨家限時優惠!


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/10/10/poststartcdafe.png


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/10/03/p1154e5.png


Hello to all Steemians! This is the cofounder and CEO of CoolBitX, Michael Ou (see photo below… yeah, that’s me holding our CoolWallet and the Steemit sign in a Starbucks). I am very excited to have such an opportunity to introduce to you our innovative bitcoin hardware wallet - CoolWallet - through @deanliu ‘s post. Dean and I have known each other since two month ago. I introduced what we do to him and he explained how Steem and Steemit work to me. At the end we came up with the idea of this post. Dean only asked me to authorize him to use the images and texts from our website and to offer exclusive discounts for Steemit users, and specifically he asked me not to return this favor with any money or free wallets. So I agreed to all his requests and let him handle the post by himself. Since I was pretty occupied during October (preparing for money 20/20 in Vegas) and so was Dean, we decided to submit the post until now.

Furthermore, let me say something about our wallet and our future plans. Security of digital assets has been and will continue to be top priority as digital economy grows. It has been and always will be the core value of CoolBitx. Its importance was manifested by the the well-known Bitfinex hack a while ago. We strongly suggest to store your bitcoins in hardware wallet rather than your account on exchange sites which are honey pots for hackers. At least, you can get to know what hardware wallets are from this post, so you can have a safer option in the future. As you will see shortly that CoolWallets are not only safe but also convenient and more. And we aims to do better - our next mission is to build a semi-decentralised exchange that has a fast order matching engine like major exchange sites do, but users’ bitcoins are sent from sellers’ CoolWallet to buyer’s CoolWallet. There will be no centralized wallet to hack. Please subscribe to our news letter on our site to follow our latest development.

Finally, it is truly meaningful for a blockchain-based Bitcoin CoolWallet to support fellow blockchain-based pioneering social media platform Steemit, I hereby offer all Steemians the most favorable discount price for purchasing our CoolWallet. Please scroll down to the last part of the post to utilize this limited time offer! I hope you enjoy our CoolWallet and l look forward to introducing more CoolBitx products or services in the future.

https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/10/03/p2c86e2.png


Dear all, as Michael has explained the purpose of this post, I will only add a few remarks here. First, the reason for me to ask him not to give me any rewards is because I want to see if we can create a win-win-win situation - Michael can sell more wallets without paying for advertisement, Steemians get what they want at lower prices and I might earn something from this post payout. Secondly, this post is NOT Coolbitx’ own official promotion but an authorized introduction by me. That means me as an four month young cryptocurrency enthusiast won’t give you anything near a professional product review (it is a miracle that I learn how to buy and transact bitcoins online already!). I don’t even know what a hardware wallet is before meeting Michael. Thirdly, a hidden wish behind this post is that I hope by doing this, the global blockchain community can discover more possibilities to collaborate with many leading hardware manufacturers here in Taiwan - just like what CoolWallet has nicely demonstrated. Lastly, the following parts are: brief introduction to CoolWallet by me, some media coverage of CoolWallet, a brief comment by Michael, and last … the EXCLUSIVE coupon code for Steemit! 


A speacial note to the cn community


cn區的朋友們好,這次發帖主要是推薦我不久前認識的朋友-歐仕邁(Michael Ou),CoolBitx科技共同創辦人,他們公司所生產的比特幣硬體(硬件)錢包CoolWallet。在一次偶然機會中我跟Michael認識聊天時談到這個平台,所以才有這次的發帖與限時獨家優惠。要說明的是我僅止於接受該公司的授權使用圖像與文字,沒有接受任何金錢委託,想試試Steemit平台創造三贏的機會。抱歉,由於不希望版面過於雜亂,且其實CoolWallet的頁面是有中文的,所以下面只在最後面的Steemit特別優惠那段再補充中文說明,希望有興趣的朋友多多支持台灣生產的、與加密貨幣相關難得的實體產品!Michael也請我特別跟大陸朋友們(或可說是cn區朋友們)問候,他說他曾經到大陸去演講,印象深刻,相信以這樣的熱度,一定會有很多人有安全的錢包的需求,未來他們會持續以此錢包為基礎,強化安全與方便兩大主軸,再請持續關注與支持囉!謝謝!


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/10/03/p31a090.png


Okay. Here comes the unprofessional introduction :). I am a cautious person. Since I have granted the permission to use their official content so I will just follow the official page of CoolWallet to give you a brief impression about this really cool wallet.


If you don’t like nagging, just remember this…CoolWallet is “The most convenient Bitcoin hardware wallet”. As far as I know, the hardware wallet is the most secure way to protect your bitcoins. But as normal people, we need to engage in a lot of economic activities, and as bitcoin believers we expect a growing proportion of these transactions to incorporate bitcoin payments. So, convenience then is second to security in my opinion. As a hardware wallet, it means CoolWallet is not only safe but also trouble saving. What else can you ask for?


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/10/06/intro0588f2.png


Safety first. CoolWallet is hack-proof, theft-proof and even waterproof! Look at its logo, a shield, and it manifests their top emphasis for this product.


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/10/03/intro17eea8.png


Then convenience as in its handy design. Yes, the “wallet” is actually a credit card size smartcard so it can easily fits in your real wallet!


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/10/03/intro2d8037.png


Then convenience as its easy-to-use. The bluetooth technology enables your CoolWallet to communicate with your (mobile) devices effortlessly.


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/10/03/intro358809.png


An element of theft-proof is to alarm you when your CoolWallet and your phone are certain distance apart. Beware! Dog inside!


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/10/03/intro441268.png


Finally, the ultimate convenience - your CoolWallet works on all your devices!


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/10/03/intro5c0d67.png


You can find more detailed introduction on their website. The links to the site and its main items are provided here again:


https://coolbitx.com/coolwallet/



https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/10/03/p46109d.png


For your convenience also, some objective media reviews/reports are provided here (you may also find the links from the above ‘Press’).

CoolBitx Is Offering A New Kind Of Hardware Wallet


CoolBitx’s Hardware Wallet Provides Credit Card Style Payments


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/10/03/p5826ca.png


Michael has done his homework on Steemit as well and he personally provides his comment on the only and also the first Steemit post that had mentioned CoolWallet briefly but mainly focused on KeepKey. The post was created by a senior Steemian @tuck-fheman and the link is here:


KeepKey Bitcoin Hardware Wallet Review - Protect Your Investment!


And, while appreciating what KeepKey has accomplished, Michael wish to provide you with another option (with discount!). I just quote his remarks here.


Here is my comment on the key difference between KeepKey and CoolWallet: CoolWallet is designed to be convenient and secure. KeepKey is leaning to secure only. KeepKey only works on laptops, which means users have to carry laptop and a bulky wallet (KeepKey) to make a transaction. CoolWallet works on both Android and iOS, and the card-like device fits right in users’ wallet, which makes it the most convenient Bitcoin hardware wallet on the go.

https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/10/03/p673edf.png


Here comes the most important part! Exclusive discount for all Steemians! As Michael puts it“… a blockchain-based Bitcoin CoolWallet to support fellow blockchain-based social media platform Steemit” Therefore, he will offer all Steemians “the most favorable discount price for purchasing the CoolWallet” - a $30 discount, more than 25% off the original price! Prior to this, the company had only offered discounts to the maximum of $10! You can need to find the coupon code revealed in the following photo, enter the code and click ‘Apply’, determine the quantities and destination, and then you can enjoy this great offer! No quantity limits, buy as many as you want. You can also share the code with your friends but please do tell him about Steemit as this platform is the key to make this offer possible! The only limitation is that this offer is only valid within 7 days after the submission of this post. So you need to act quickly but still the time is sufficient for you to make an informed decision. Sorry we have to set a time limit, or this offer won’t be ‘exclusive’ enough! To be precise, the offer will expire by 12pm midnight of 16th Nov. in Taiwan (UTC+8/GMT+8). 


此次對於Steemit提供限時7天(以發帖時間為起點;因此,兩岸時間(UTC+8 / GMT+8)的11月16日午夜12點將會結束活動)的$30美元的獨家優惠!此前該公司提供過的優惠最多僅有10美元,機會非常難得!優惠代碼(coupon code)請詳見下圖中,不區分大小寫。時間到後,優惠將會截止。由於Michael希望提供給Steemit獨家的優惠,因此需要限定一定的時間。當然你可以把優惠碼告訴朋友,但是由於這個優惠是來自於對Steemit的支持,希望你也順道介紹這個平台給你的朋友。再請把握時間,謝謝!


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/10/11/purchasewithcode1df255.png


By the way, the following shows what you will receive if you shall purchase.


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/10/03/productpack4eb51.png


Okay! Lastly, I sincerely hope that you enjoy my unprofessional introduction and hope that every Steemians who need hardware wallet and do purchase CoolWallet can enjoy this benefit brought to you by the power of Steem as well as the safety, convenience and stylishness brought to you by Coolbitx’ CoolWallet!!

📷 SteemitPhotoChallenge # 16 -- A Chinese Style Banquet


This is my first time participating the famous Steemit Photo Challenge. Normally I just browsed through most photos for this contest before and this time I decided to give it a go. Why? Simply because … I cannot miss the theme this week. It is …


Food !!!


I love to eat good food, but meanwhile sometimes I eat really simple just for filling the stomach. I love all kinds of food - Chinese of course, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Malay, Indian, Western,… almost every kinds of meals in the world. I cannot say that I ‘love’ Chinese food the most, because you were raised up on it, you are it and there is no room for you to keep a distance and say you love it (hope you understand what I am saying). Meanwhile me and my wife love to travel and dine and take photos for fun. So, it is really a good timing for me to take part in this contest. 


I only pick one photo from my files - the one that I find of photographic qualities - colorful, shapes, and perspective. Also, I cannot use those that I had used for previous posts (or can I?). So I will list a few ‘food’ posts at the end for you to take a look. Hope you enjoy this and those!


My Entry


A Chinese Style Banquet - Soup in the middle, lots of dishes around, with different varieties … looks like someone has started eating already! Let’s dig in!

第一次參加Steemit Photo Challenge這個攝影的競賽,原因無他,因為本周主題是「食物」。我這麼愛吃,又喜歡旅行與(廉價手機式)攝影,想想就跳下來參加一下囉!


這張照片是在北京一次吃飯時拍的,有點忘記地點與場合,但照片表現出中式餐飲的特色,而且顯得很多彩、豐富與可口,所以就挑這張吧。


後面放了一些過去分享過的食記與食物照,還沒吃過飯的等吃飽再來看吧!:)
