Toys - "N∞M", The mysterious Japanese handmade eyewear

圖片
為了慶祝完成人生的大事-------------->退伍 (才不是結婚咧-.-) 所以進行了一連串的敗家行程 其中最期待已久的就是又去配了一副手工框眼鏡 (推薦士林國賓眼鏡...每次去都想買一堆) 有鑑於本人天生搞怪個性 所以還是想配個不一樣的 看了一些有名的日本跟歐洲框都不錯 但是最後卻看上了一副超級沒名沒人討論的檜木+鈦合金框 -->日本的N ∞ M (NARM,不是NOOM) 中間是無限的符號 正面: From Eyewear collection 側面: 木+鈦的組合 (側面的鑲嵌木紋有人說不好看想噴掉-.-||) From Eyewear collection 試戴: 變得很有知性的胖福 From Eyewear collection 我覺得側面的鑲嵌木紋不錯看啊 T_T From Eyewear collection 盒子裡面的brand logo (猜了很久到底是N8M還是N∞M還是N00M還是NOOM) From Eyewear collection 因為實在是太沒名了加上到底牌子怎麼拼都是個問題 結果花了我們一整個晚上才找到一丁點的資料 (google total兩筆...有心人可以試著找找看) 總之雖然沒有什麼網路知名度 (或是我找不到而已@@) 但是它真的很好戴 跟infinity有得比地輕 鏡角是有彈簧的設計 鼻墊也適合東方人扁扁的鼻樑 (尤其是我這種沒鼻樑的^^) 希望因為這篇文章可以讓下一個要找這個牌子的人找到一點點線索 Update: 最近在微風的集文堂終於再次看到它的兄弟姐妹了 根據旁邊掛的廣告研判真正的製作公司應該是Kanatani Optical 很可惜地,google完全找不到後續的訊息... 或許等我有一天無聊才會進去店裡問它真實的來歷吧... Update2:最近去國賓剛好老闆娘 (業界知名的徐姐!不是我說的@_@)給我看日本鏡框雜誌 就翻給我看它的介紹 "牌子的真實名字應該是N∞M (念NARM) 以Natural 加上 Modern/Made 中間的 無限符號∞代表與自然無限共存的概念" (以上是不負責翻自日本介紹的網站: http:...

On reading - The Cure

"The Cure" is a story about the development of the first drug for the Pompe disease (http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/pompe/pompe.htm). I learned about this book because of one of the developer, Dr. Yuan- Tsong Chen (陳垣崇), was sponsored by 台泥, and thus the success of the drug made a great fortune for the company and made a great news at that time (~2006). The author, Geeta Anand , a Pulitzer Prize-winner and a WSJ journalist, vividly described the story of the Crowley family. The young father, John Crowley, a Harvard business school graduate, jumped into the world of drug development without any medical background to develop the cure for his two kids. It could be said to be another "Lorenzo's Oil". BTW, Lorenzo has passed away in May this year. The story is profoundly moving to me, and provided a great clue for me, who is facing the question of career planning. This story reminds me of the enthusiasm I had when I decided to pursue a life sciences-related...

On reading - 百年孤寂 & 天方夜譚

圖片
在高雄的最後兩個星期看了兩本魔幻玄妙的小說 (其中一本應該說是故事集才是) 一本是諾貝爾文學獎得主Gabriel Marquez的百年孤寂 一本是大家都聽過的中東豪洨故事集天方夜譚 (就是一千零一夜啦!) 百年孤寂一書是充滿栩栩如生畫面的虛構小說 作者Marquez真是講述故事跟具體化的高手 在充滿想像力的世界中把一個詭異的家族史講完 讓我不由得聯想到JoJo冒險野郎 兩者在某種程度上真是有極大的相似度 反正結論就是百年孤寂還真的不錯看啦 很能引人入勝 是不需要做什麼事前的準備功課就可以輕鬆讀完的大師作品 而且很適合愛幻想的人 在看這本書的時候 我一直想到颱風來之前黃昏天空的詭異天色 --> 應該是因為這本書的魔幻風格就像那樣的不尋常的光影對比一樣 讓人覺得時空錯亂 天方夜譚是我一直都很想看的 因為總覺得把這本故事集看完可以了解一些中東文化吧 沒想到這本書的內容居然是豪洨到如此的程度 故事中又有故事又有故事又有故事 一個故事看到最後早就忘了原本的起頭了@@ 而且內容超級沒有印象中伊斯蘭的嚴格禮俗 充滿偷情、騙局、金銀財寶跟酒池肉林的商人生活 似乎是要宣洩過分壓抑的社會規範一樣 總之天方夜譚是不適合給小孩子看的-.-|| 而且現在我才知道原來阿拉丁是中國人啊...

On reading

In such a boring situation without internet (most of time, hehehe), reading became a habit. Within the past 8 months, I have finished about a dozen books. Finally I got a time to start to empty my bookshelf full of unread books I bought within the last 7 years. However, the interest on reading induced my another habit, that is, to surf around Amazon and books.com.tw for more books. And thus it turns out I got more and more books on my shelf at the end -.-||. When I did the reading these days, I came realizing that my English reading is finally improving again ever since I can read scientific papers. The habitual reading of the Economist is working out! For those who want to improve reading should try finding some unfamiliar topics (economy is so unfamiliar and kind boring) and get into a boring place (where I am is definitely the most idiotic and boring places) and spend the whole day reading (I don't use my brain here unless during reading my books, since there is no need to use k...

My blackberry experience

圖片
I have gotten my blackberry 8707g for 2 months, and so far so good. It's really a rare product in Taiwan, which turns it into an eye-drawer, kerker. The greatest feature should be its qwerty keyboard, which provides fantastic key-in experience, much much better than ordinary cell phone keyboard. And 3 G network is a must-have feature to provide web-surfing, which i found out most of Taiwan news webs didn't support, what a pity (@_@). For the most important function of blackberry, the push mail, well, it turns out to be less important for me since i rarely have confidential mails. Actually it is zero. And people don't chat with email anymore since we got instant messages, so the MSN function rocks! The greatest pity should be that blackberry is "fring" (http://www.fring.com/) incompatible so I can not use skype or other network phones, T_T. Anyway, using blackberry provides a great experience for me into the world of 3 G, but I will probably choose open source plat...

An inconvenient surprise

Although there are only less than two months before my salvage day, surprise always came in! unexpectedly I was sent to Kaohsiung for 1 month with an idiotic mission, and it's all setup! Whatever, it's military, and we can always expect idiotic surprises. Ha~ @@
