THE Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?
If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.
Most of you would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it. The case for me is clockwise came first, then I reversed it.

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses logic
detail oriented
facts rule
words and language
present and past
math and science
can comprehend
knowing
acknowledges
order/pattern perception
knows object name
reality based
forms strategies
practical
safe

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses feeling
"big picture" oriented
imagination rules
symbols and images
present and future
philosophy & religion
can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
presents possibilities
impetuous
risk taking

我又懒了，拍这张照片的家伙比我说的好，我就直接贴过来了：
I've said this a couple times now, but I'd say a majority of Mac users are glad to see Apple move on from the white-thing. The white was getting old, outdated, overused, cliche. Engadget said it best when they said "Apple is learning that they have to stop making all of their products look like a huge overgrown iPod." And it's true. Once you own one of these, you realize that the white was fun and cool or whatever -- but it wasn't actually helpful for your experience with the computer. The white always made the computer seem "HEY. I'm WHITE. Look at ME." In reality, you want a computer to recede while your content and work come forward. This is the same reason why most HDTV's are black, or have black borders followed by a silver trim. The black border gives your eye buffer zone to stay within the image, while the silver trim gives your eye an edge to stay within the picture with. The iMac reproduces this effect greatly, and looks much better when turned off.
You can't say that this thing looks like an HP or Dell product -- Dell has tried to make all-in-one systems, and we know how badly that turned out. And really, HP acts more like Apple does than the other way around. Ever notice how a majority of HP's products became white and silver for a time? Just as well -- Gray/Silver and Black have been Sony's flagship colors for decades, yet the iMac still resembles an unmistakable apple product, just as much as the Black MacBook, or the aluminum MacBook Pro. If Jobs wanted this to look like a dell or HP, he would have had to add a bunch of status LED's, at least one blue, and a big heat grille to the back of the iMac like monitors do. I don't see any of those things. -- I also certainly don't see that keyboard on any PC either [in the exception of those new Sony Vaio's imitating macbooks.

不成，我头疼的厉害，自己看吧，有机会再给你们解释，反正就是设计的特别好

今天早晨收到了我的第一件threadless t-shirt，还不错。另外，最近周围总有人嚷嚷着要印衣服去卖，所以，两件事并一件说，threadless.com，一community性质的卖t-shirt的网站，提交你个人的设计被选中的话会有两千美元的奖金（每礼拜选出四个好像是）。spreadshirt.com，可以印只属于你自己的衣服，而且～看样子可以自己申请开店卖你的东西（具体怎么着没看）。

Everybody thinks Netvibes.com is better than Google Personalized Homepage, you know, not technically, but visually. I thought I might be able to come up with some kind of a better solution for google, but now it looks like google engineers have done their homework already, and the consequence is pretty satisfying.
What's dynamic about those themes? According to google, for each different theme you select, the top image will change base on your local time or weather condition (but can't get both ATM). If you don't believe me, check it out for yourself. It's fun!
[Edit]
Google Operating System has reported some special easter eggs found in the new themes.
When you go to Google Personalized Homepage at 3:14 am, and you have chosen one of the new themes (except Bus Stop and Classic), you will see something special.
• Seasonal Scape (Winter) - Aurora (northern lights)
• City Scape - some UFOs and Aliens flying around
• Sweet Dreams - Pi Star (ahh, 3:14->3.14->Pi?)
• Tea House - Are those ghosts? Oh, I am feeling cold…

So, so, so, so AWESOME hp tv commercials by Goodby, Silberstein & Partners. Well, I know they have already been running around on tv for a while now, but I just watched the complete set tonight, and Man! I'm telling ya, you have to check out those films no matter how busy you say you are, no excuse, period.

You can find them by following this link, (they can be found in the "films" collection under the "view the ads" section on the page) Make sure you watch all of them. And plus, you can make one of your own by uploading a photo of yourself. Trust me, it's fun.

好东西，法国一叫modelabs的地方鼓捣出来的几款概念手机，蓝色的叫YoYo，我最喜欢，乃一边儿玩儿一边儿就充电了的手机。绿色的叫U-Turn，看似是用来带在手腕上晃的，另外的叫Runaway还什么的，没多大意思，不说了。爱心小提示 － Read More有大图Keep Reading...

Ah, I've been gone for so long haven't I? But like the Oracle used to say, everything that has a beginning has an end. So come on in, take a look inside, and see for yourself what I've been doing lately.

Came across this on a friend's blog. Jonathan Yuen is the guy's name, you know, the guy who created this heart touching web site, a very very talented young graphic designer I have to admit. Wether you are in the design industry or not, check out the site, you'll be pleased.

下学期大三了，课也不多，是时候多参加一些设计竞赛了。我上学期就看过这个，做Interior Motives的竞赛就把这个放下了。现在突然又想起来了，虽然是我厌恶的M$，不过奖金的诱惑不能抵挡啊（5个奖项从1万到2万5千美金不等）有兴趣合作的可以和我联系。不是学生也没关系，是人都能参加，今年12月截止。更多信息见www.startsomethingpc.com

昨儿在Core77看见的，没想到今儿个Engadget也有了，挺好看的，懒得细说了，自各儿读去吧。

一个人坐车闷得慌？这家伙帮咱想了好主意

有意出国继续深造的同学（ Art & Design方面 ）和喜欢捡便宜的可以来看看这个，

Linden Educational Services主办的Art & Design University Fairs in Asia又来了， 时间分别是九月十三号北京，十六号上海和十八号香港。届时会有包括Art Center College of Design在内的多所美国院校出席咨询活动，你将有机会和各院校派出的代表老师当面交流了解相关事宜。免费入场，细节见此

NOTE：活动可提前通过网络注册，可节省时间入场时间。

至于喜欢占小便宜的同学，参加活动时带上自己的作品集给Art Center的老师看，她应该会送你一本精装的手册留做纪念，至少去年我去的时候是这么个情况，没有可别赖我。

懒人们集合啦，听说哄小孩睡觉可不是什么好玩儿的事儿，这方面我虽然没有发言权，不过今儿在网上发现这个好玩意儿。。。自己看吧，Lullabub
