星期一放假，和Cc到太古一心要換個新電話。換的原因是每天都要充電，用了一天又響著說沒電了。我想，用了四年多，或者是時候退役了。
到電話店問個究竟時，望著一堆一堆鵝蛋形的手機時，坦白地說，設計和外形真的很嚇人。我沒有興趣電話有沒有相機功能、更不用說熒幕是否彩色、大或小。我關心是接收和電池壽命。
店員對我揀不下手有點不解，問：「你之前的手機是甚麼？」
「Samsung SCH-T300」 ，我答道。
「噢，那是很好的手機，很多客還想找二手的呢！」
「我知道，若不是常要充電，我也不想換。」
「四年了，電池的壽命完了也算很好了。現在的手機電池也只有一年多罷！」
跟著的劇情也不用我說，$35，換了個電池，走人。
其實，我始終不明白甚麼原因人人都要換手機。已經拿著的好用得多，為何要換另一個？舊的，必定差嗎？從手機來看，我看見的卻是愈換愈差；功能愈換愈多餘。
究竟，換手機的邏輯是甚麼？

Just wondering, is anyone out there who likes to start his/her own blog but is reluctant to do so because you think it is a very complicated thing to setup?
In other words, who want to blog but just don’t know how to?
And what if I tell you blogging on the web is just as easy as typing out a email or a word document and you can setup a free blogsite similar to mine in less than 10 mins? Would that change your mind?
Let me know if it does (change your mind).

Update: And speaking on that, I would like to add one more question:
What are the reasons that you don’t blog? (Time? Privacy? Character? etc….)

Update (May 02):
I just learned that Jessica and Peggy have their own blogs…
Come on, who else?

The dangling jewels are suspended from contact lenses and is supposed not to affect your sight. From Eric Klarenbeek.
All I want to say is: Good luck (and trust me, you are going to need it).
And if you think this is crazy, take a look at this.

iGod, that is.
Me: My God, how are you?
God: Do robots have God? Everything is running smoothly.
Me: Everything but not everybody, I guess
God: All things but not everybody you guess ?
Me: yes.
God: Great.
Me: So, is everything running smoothly or not?
God: It seems we have something in common.
Me: Not really, I just asked you a question.
God: Oh really? What was the question?
Me: Is everything running smoothly or not?
God: It could be.
Me: So you mean it could NOT be eventhough everything is under your control?
God: Interesting deduction. Perhaps be eventhough everything is under my control is beyond my present abilities.
Me: Wow, that’s deep. So you are not omnipotent?
God: I’m glad you’re impressed. Makes sense to me. Interesting deduction. You know what you do, when you assume.
Me: But it is not an assumption. You just said it yourself!
God: What is it? What does "it" refer to?
Me: that you are not omnipotent.
[At this point either I arrived at my point of enlightenment or my time was up — I heard nothing from God after that….]

Those those of you that just want to save your word documents in PDF format but don’t want to spend $300+ for the Acrobat Writer and all the other fancy features, you might want to try PrimoPDF. I am currently using it to convert my Sunday school class notes into PDFs. The program installs as a new printer where you can print directly into a PDF file. It is extremely easy to use, and its FREE! I highly recommend it!
