特效雕像
这是朋友寄来的“特效雕像”，很有趣的作品！
Ron Mueck is a London-based photo-realist artist. Born in Melbourne,Australia, to parents who were toy makers, he labored on children's television shows for 15 years before working in special effects for such films as Labyrinth, a 1986 fantasy epic starring David Bowie. Eventually Mueck concluded that photography pretty much destroys the physical presence of the original object, and so he turned to fine art and sculpture. In the early 1990's, still in his advertising days, Mueck was commissioned to make something highly realistic, and was wondering what material would do the trick. Latex was the usual, but he wanted something harder, more precise. Luckily, he saw a little architectural decor on the wall of a boutique and inquired as to the nice, pink stuff's nature. Fiberglass resin was the answer, and Mueck has made it his bronze and marble ever since.

Duffy - Syrup & Honey
发现一把很棒的声音，有点像Winehouse，不过较温柔一些；她就是Duffy。看过一些她的MTV和Live videos，以为她大概有点年纪了，没想到才20出头，真是才华洋溢。
不多说，邀请你来欣赏这首曲名为Syrup & Honey。

新Saga上路了
昨天終于去參觀新Proton Saga。我們看得仔細，問得仔細，推銷員見有機，問我們要不要試車，朋友說不用了，我馬上答應說要試。當然要試！否則得個講字。
以下是一些個人的看法。跟MyVi相比，MyVi貴10千。我試的是自動檔的。
1. 外型不錯，內部設計簡單直接，我個人還蠻喜歡的。但Myvi還是較美。
2. 后座的車窗是開不完的，蠻在意這個“缺點”。
3. 示范車用Good Year輪胎，但推銷員說出的車不定，可能是便宜的Sime。
4. 剛啟動時馬力很弱，走順了就OK。MyVi則從啟動便維持一定馬力。Saga上坡時，我刻意大踩油門，但車子還是無法加速。MyVi的油門和馬力維持穩定，Saga則視踩油門與否而定。
5. 推銷員講Auto的Saga比MyVi省油。Saga走順后，引擎好像比較放松（MyVi則引擎一直“拉著”似的），也許因此較省油？
6. 防震還不錯。
7. 冷氣還夠冷。
問幾時才有Saga上路，他說不知道，可能兩個月后吧。現在訂車要等至少4個月。

不是那个霸癞
这是第三届Not That Balai艺术节。前两届都在天后宫附近一间很有味道的破烂大洋房。。。的隔壁。。。一间叫Lost Generation Space的大洋房举行。今年的活动将分散在好几个地点，如Annexe、SICKL、Gudang等，当然，还有老基地Lost Generation Space。第一届我是访客，第二届有部短片参展，还全程帮他们拍下纪录片。第三届。。。回到访客身份吧。倒是我妹参与了筹划音乐表演的部分。
这里可以看到舞蹈、音乐、绘画、影像、表演艺术等等。详情请游览： http://notthatbalai.blogspot.com/
以上网站的SICKL地图错了，以下的才正确：

买LCD吗？
为了多爱我的眼睛一点，打算把伴我多年的Dell电脑荧光幕换掉。
每次买东西，我都习惯做一定程度的研究，俗称Shopping。一方面是乐趣，另一方面是不想买到令自己后悔的产品。再说，马来西亚的Salesman讲话，你只能信一半，必须靠自己。物色了一阵子，明白到一些HD(High Definition Video)和LCD的知识，愿此与你分享。
首先，市面上HD TV的“HD Ready”标签，并不代表该电视真的拥有HD的解析度，标签只说明了它可以播放HD影片而已。HD有三种格式：720p（1280x720），1080i（1920x1080）和1080p（1920x1080）。其中，小i是指interlace，即需要两张相邻画面才能完整显示一个电影画面。小p是progressive，即每张画面都是完整显示的。只有高价位的HD TV才实际拥有1920x1080解析度，众多HD TV在播放此超高清模式时，唯有降级播放而已。
目前HD都以DVI和HDMI为界面，还有一个东西叫HDCP。HDCP是一个版权保护措施，以后看正版的HD光碟，器材（包括电视和光碟机）都必须具备HDCP功能。微软（Microsoft）Vista更强制要求这项功能。换言之，如果你的荧幕、光碟机或图形卡（Graphics Card）不具备HDCP，就休想看到正版HD光碟！
TFT LCD的面板技术基本上有三种：TN Panel，VA(S-PVA and MVA) Panel和S-IPS Panel。其中TN最便宜而反应最快（即市面上大肆宣传的response time），S-IPS则画质最佳也最昂贵。新一代TN+Film panels解决了以往TN的视角（viewing angle）偏狭问题，成为低价位LCD新宠儿。
经过一番考察，我最后的抉择落在两个产品上：Samsung 932b Plus 和 Dell UltraSharp 1908FP。两台同样是16.2百万颜色，TN+Film Panel。
Samsung 932b Plus的好处是有Dynamic Contrast Ratio: 2000(Static Contrast Ratio只有700)。Contrast Ratio即画面光暗的层次。Static指单一画面的光暗层次总数，Dynamic指所有可能的光暗层次总数。Dell没有Dynamic Contrast 这项功能，其Static Contrast Ratio是800。
Dell有两个噱头:UltraSharp和TrueLife。在UltraSharp技术下，画质更好，必选。TrueLife指光滑面板，就是那种比较光亮（有点像CRT）的荧幕。TrueLife是见仁见智的，有人爱也有人恨。有人说在TrueLife的LCD看电影时，好像照镜子似的，很不爽。
Dell 1908FP 的DVI备有HDCP，Samsung 932b则没有。此外，这两台都不含HDMI。我想到既然我的图形卡不含HDCP，电脑又没有HD光碟机（还得贵上一阵子吧！），这个HDCP东东就别考虑那么多了。
还有一点需要考虑。在马来西亚买电器，买到次等货的机率相当高，你我都了解。买Dell就比较没有这种问题。
Samsung 932b Plus是新产品，Dell 1908FP已经有一段时日了。论外型，我比较喜欢Dell。不过，也许我最后会买932b Plus，为了它的2000 Dynamic Contrast Ratio。
