Four Notes Paul's Tune

80歲英國老翁保羅，透過兒子給他的四個音階，即興演奏出一段美麗的旋律.... Beautifuuuuuullllll....

Dad’s ability to improvise and compose beautiful melodies on the fly has always amazed me.

Tonight, I gave him four random notes as a starting point.

Although his dementia is getting worse, moments like this bring him back to me. pic.twitter.com/dBInVCTmfF

Paul Harvey 去年被診斷患有失智症，這段即興演奏獲得廣大的點閱率，隨後在國際失智症日的活動中播出，最後英國BBC 愛樂管絃樂團邀請並錄製成單曲，一路衝上蘋果與亞馬遜的排行榜。

該曲的收益將分給英國阿茲海默症協會與Music for Dementia組織

無題

我其實覺得 Big Fish 的整個情節並沒有那麼好看，因為很多情節闡述太過明白，尤其真實女巫 Jenny 與病房醫師所做的解釋，讓最後葬禮的驚喜感大為降低，全劇也因此少了許多想像的空間。 

回顧自己這幾年的人生，七年了吧？我似乎是試著把它冷凍起來，按下暫停鍵，等著我心愛的人回到身邊，好讓我繼續暫停的時間。至於，到底會等到什麼，我自己也似乎也不清楚...

Curiosity out of Antique

Coming across this video, I'm really intrigued by this curator, Dr. Irving Finkel. He is definitely a poker-faced comedian. He also reminds me of my experiences when taking young friends to Exploratorium at San Francisco. Some youth didn't feel quite attracted and some totally indulged in all facilities. For me, there are million of stories, science and knowledge behind those seemingly big toys. Why can't some youths feel the fun out of them while also complaining how boring of their textbooks? I might actually know the answer. Video games nowadays are like drugs dominating their sensations.

無意間被這位館長 Irving Finkel 博士的影片所吸引，他絕對是個冷面笑匠。不過他也讓我想起帶年輕朋友去舊金山探索博物館的記憶，有些孩子非常盡興，有些則意興闌珊。對我來說，那些看似玩具的背後有數不盡的故事與科學知識，為何年輕朋友抱怨教科書無聊，卻也不能被這些器材激發興趣？我猜，或許是電動已經把他們的感官給麻痺了。

amnesia

Gattaca in 1997. I almost forgot this is one of my favorite movies since youth.

And I almost forgot the dreams I held back then.

所以麻煩對橄欖子們，鞭小力一點。

為什麼一定要假設出國就是高大上呢？美國學費過去一路漲，有些留學生連車子都不敢買。比較晚來的移民，語言沒那麼輪轉，工作競爭力也不一定拼得過各色人種。很多社群鄉民的留言，對真正無法發聲的族群來說，跟「何不食肉糜」是一模一樣的。

媒體能不能對數據做真的詳細的分析與報導，而不是馬上挑腥羶的點大肆渲染呢？或許有，但是可能人氣不夠高，無法排到我的螢幕前.....
