I Wish I Was Wearing Google Glass Today
I tried Google Glass before, but couldn’t think of a good use case for me to actually buy one.
I thought maybe I would wait until I have kids, since I have heard a lot of times that people enjoy having a Glass while spending time with their kids.
But today, for the first time ever, I wish I had a Google Glass, so badly.
I was cycling in the bay area, mostly along the Bay Trail today. It is an absolutely beautiful ride.
During the ride, I stopped several times, to take pictures, either with my phone or my SLR (for different kind of pictures). That is the great part.
The bad part is, there were many many more times that I wish I could also take pictures, especially take pictures of what I see. Or sometimes better, videos of what I see.
Then I said, “Wish I had a Google Glass.”
I admit I won’t buy it yet, because the value and price ratio is still too low for me. But, I’m looking forward to finding more ways to increase the former. Otherwise I will just get a GoPro.
Image Size in iOS Mail App
I email myself A LOT to quickly just share an image from my iPhone to my Mac. (Thank god that will be fixed in iOS 8 & Yosemite.)
One day after filling the receiver’s address and hit “Send”, I just lock my iPhone and waiting my email to arrive on my Mac.
Waiting and waiting…. it never come.
And later on I find this on my iPhone:
Screenshot of the iOS Mail app.
Come on Apple, it’s 2014 and I am on wifi…
Hilarious. A Must Watch.

Which Paper?
Update on November 14, 2015: Dropbox also launched Paper.
There’s a simple fix here. We think Facebook can apply the same degree of thought they put into the app into building a brand name of their own. An app about stories shouldn’t start with someone else’s story. Facebook should stop using our brand name.
This Paper of course.
You Can Buy App Ratings & Reviews for $1.55/App.
I received an email from a guy saying I can buy App Ratings & Reviews a week after I released Cube Cube. I just thought it would be interesting to post some prices here.
For a free app:
- 20 iOS reviews with ratings = $59 ($2.95/app)
- 500 iOS reviews with ratings = $500 ($1.55/app)
For a $0.99 app:
- 5 iOS reviews with ratings = $69 ($13.8/app)
- 100 iOS reviews with ratings = $899 ($8.99/app)
Shocked: Distinguish Two Accounts by Passwords
You can have an Amazon US account and China account sharing the same login email. They are actually two completely different accounts and share nothing.
You know what happens when you login on a US Kindle?
- If the two accounts have the same password, you are only able to login with the US account.
- But if they have two different passwords, then you are able to login with either of them, controlled by which password you enter.

Finally
今天，最后的那片银杏叶
终于在回六教的路上
落在了我肩膀上
没有秋的感伤
也没有春的期待
因为
这只是个冬天
Fate 2007 2008
一、宿命
花似伊
柳似伊
叶叶声声是别离
雨急人更急
湘江西
楚江西
万水千山远路迷
相逢终有期
不知不觉地又翻出这首词来
这是我第一次的结局
看到景天满世界找雪见
心里有种说不出来的感觉
不是喜，更不是悲
而是一种宿命
不恋江湖不羡仙
不问六界不闻剑
生生世世永不离
轮轮回回两相依
咳咳，扯远了，那只是前尘而已，心已不求
二、两千零七
两千零七年的夜很漫长
于是
猫儿在黑夜也会做梦，来回地穿梭
两千零七年的星光很短暂
于是
还没等到猫儿认识那一个星座，光芒就消失了
两千零七年的鱼儿很多
于是
猫儿总是去偷吃，可它又知道，自己的食物本不应该是鱼
两千零七年的柳树很多
于是
猫儿总会尝试去攀登树的至高点，结果只是爬了一半又去了另一颗树
两千零七年的很繁华的玫瑰花带了一些刺
于是
猫儿害怕弄痛自己的肉肉只将它们扔在一边
看着猫儿的日子，心里很内疚，本来的计划好好的，可惜就是被一些东西给搅和了，可现在叹惜也来不及了，不管是上帝也好人为也好，过去的，就此罢过吧，能把握的也就现在。
附名词解释：
黑夜：人生
星座：(马赛克)(马赛克)(马赛克)
鱼儿：诱惑
柳树：挑战
玫瑰：目标
三、两千零八
两千零八应该有很多事情要做，也会有很多事情要发生吧
两千零八，猫儿要迎接更多挑战，猫儿说，它会为两千零八写一份规划书，猫儿还说，它也会完成两千零七未完成的心愿，祝福它吧
两千零八，(马赛克)岸顺利，(马赛克)运顺利，世界顺利
两千零八，祝福每一个人，每一个角落
