老帕的去世和小Paul的崛起
2007.9.6 Luciano Pavarotti died of pancreatic cancer2007.6.9 Paul Potts made himself known by millions people over TV and Internet through singing Opera Nessun Dorma on Britain's got talent. [@more@]上篇博客写Paul Potts在Britain's got talent的表现,在youtube上搜索了一下,他的片子就是初赛、半决赛和决赛,以及去纽约洛克菲勒中心赶场的录像,最有意思的是有人把Paul Potts和Luciano Pavarotti演唱的Nessun Dorma用电脑合成了起来,搞成了数字化的两代男高音同场演唱的效果叫Pavarotti with Potts - Nessun Dorma in
一个卖手机的帕瓦罗蒂演唱的《今夜无人入睡》
记不清谁说过的,什么男人最有魅力?答案是能在女人床前唱歌剧的男人最有魅力。这也就是为什么老帕挺着个比孕妇还大的大肚子却桃色新闻不断的原因吧。http://dzh.mop.com/dwdzh/topic/readSub_1_7652797_0_0.html好久没有被感动过了,直到我在粥粥的blog上看到这位36岁的手机销售员的表演。[@more@]摄影师给几个评委在Paul Potts上台说要唱歌剧的时候来了个表情特写,可以说英国人还是比较的绅士的,没有不屑之情溢于言表,但是肢体的动作已经反应出“又一个不自量力的家伙上来了,就再忍一下吧”。卡拉ok歌剧的我还是第一遭遇到。我估计评
也谈谈笔记本
网络上近来发现有人在捧小黑,有人在砸小黑的场子。尤其以吹捧Dell 来贬低IBM小黑为甚。我也来说说我所用过的笔记本电脑。[@more@]第一台笔记本电脑是老婆单位发的HP Omnibook 3000笔记本,一奔腾MMX的CPU,我们那时候都是用的非MMX的普通奔腾166的Compaq DP4000,所以特金贵。结果就是这上万块的5年质保的HP的本子,有3年的工夫是躺在维修中心里。因为LCD显示总出问题,刚开始还好,随着使用,逐渐一个边开始模糊最后扩散到整个屏幕,曹师傅发明了用手捏一下就好,后来一松手就恢复一片白的情形,所以用了一个夹子夹着屏幕的边缘,最后这
动物为什么会在春天发情?全球变暖导致春天提早到来会对人有什么影响?
据中国农业大学动物生殖生理专家郑行教授介绍,冬天天气冷,野外食物一般比较少,动物为了减少活动量,大多表现“性压抑”。春天万木复苏,百草发芽,是动物的繁殖和植物生长的最佳时期,这时动物食物足、活动多、精神好,体内的激素含量升高,所以不少动物在暖和的春天才会发情。对于今年一些动物提前发情,郑行教授分析,可能与南京的天气变暖有关系,持续暖温会引起动物内分泌失调,激素水平升高,使动物表现出分外亲昵。 南京大学气象专家余志豪教授介绍,从2006年12月份和2007年1月份的情况看,今年冬天的气温的确比往年正常年份高
多伦多的鬼天气
多伦多最近的天气很不正常,有两天零上几度,刚刚两天受到来自南方美国的气流影响,下了雪暴,居然大冬天响炸雷,让我着实见识了北方的冷空气团和南方的热空气团在此消彼长之间斗争的激烈程度。[@more@]雪从中午开始下,以近乎平行地面的角度由东朝西刮,一直持续了4,5个小时,雪停了,可是交通阻塞,我一直在office等到19:00才动身,结果在停车场上看到了我从来不洗的车被风雪给清理干干净净,迎风面自然什么都没有,背风面有。结果刚上高速就被陷入了车龙,几乎花了1个小时才到了最近的出口Don Mills,由于出口处是一个比较陡的盘旋道
Summury from Feb 12 - Feb 17, 2007
This week is very busy, since I just finished the coding by last Friday night. I had to released it to the end user. Five new career bridge interns is coming. I asked the permission to take care of them.[@more@]Monday morning the 5 new Career Bridge Interns came.

Meet Lao Zhou on the internet.
It is Monday morning, pretty refresh, i started from home exactly at 7:00am and arrived to the office 7:30, no traffic jam at all. It is unbelievable for a Monday morning traffic.[@more@]When I started the MSN, I found Lao Zhou is there. To my surprise, he is back in Toronto and found a new job. After chatting with him for a while, I got his working schedule, Mon-Sat 2:00pm to 12:00pm. It is not a nice schedule, but maybe he prefer this, because he might need some day time for his stock or forei

一个周五的流水账日记
今天发现国内的网站终于可以流畅的登陆了,海缆修好了?![@more@]在发动了广大群众的力量后,梁同学终于思进取,知悔改了。老老实实的在家温课备面试了。今天我8点之前去的单位,因为周三晚上写blog太晚,以至于周四早上起来错过了火车,只好在家上班,虽然将迁移的代码重新写了,也测试了,但是没有加注释和分析,所以周五一早忙着去干活了。每周五的例会无非是大家汇报一下你我他都干什么呢,不过由于上周五出现的变故,我们的任务有可能要重新分配,像原来的一个商业分析的手头工作要交出去给3个项目经理,我们现在还不知道有什么变化
对梁同学的放任自流的批判
梁同学的表现最近是越来越颓废,以至于我这个非常有涵养的人都觉得过分了。为此,我拿出今天的blog来单独说说梁同学的事。引用自梁同学的blog:January 11深呼吸,放松,再放松上周感冒,这周头痛,周末打球怎么什么毛病都没有?说是在房间里闷的,其实是压力太大。各位好朋友,以后谁都不许催我找工作,可以提建议,但是不许施加压力!OK?否则要出人命的哦~~呵呵大家都觉的我的条件应该很容易找到工作,所以我的压力太大!但分析自己,英语不好,技术也不强,不应该太乐观。我其实相信,找到工作只是迟早的事,即使错过4月黄金月,我还有

What major will you choose for university
Today I went to see a relative family in Mississauga. They have a son who is going to university this year. They want me to talk with his son about what major would be better.[@more@]To choose a major in university is a very important step of a man's life. I collected some information on the web, university of Waterloo and University of Toronto are his two choices. But he is favoured the Nano technology and Engineering of Science. His father wants him to study computer science as both of his par
做客老胡家
跟老胡同志约好,今天下班去他家拜访,老胡是我在贝尔的同事,长我10岁有余,背景和我很像,但是比我经验和阅历还丰富,跟他一起工作有说不完的话,工作起来互相学习和讨论,有一种相见恨晚的感觉。他夫人在多大读博士,是社会科学方面的。他家的姑娘十岁,被多伦多教育局测试为天才儿童。所以抱着对他们家的敬仰,我四点半就从单位跑出来了。 五点整,我已经从Yonge & Bloor地铁站钻出来,看见多伦多最繁华的街道上的人头攒动。[@more@]老胡家就在Manulife Building后面,很好找,进得大厅一种类似煤油的味道,由于老胡家所在的公寓楼
New Year and New Challenge
It is the first day of Year 2007. I haven't updated my blog for a long time. Not because of the work nor lack of the elements. The only reason was that I was too lazy to spend some time on writing blog everyday. So a lot of stories just fade away. In 2007, it should be changed.[@more@]It is the first day of Year 2007.
