北京鴨

昨天在SF逛了一個下午，晚上找了Yihann去了鯉魚門打打牙祭。鯉魚門名為港式「海鮮茶寮」，可我們幾乎都是沖著他們的北京鴨套餐而登門造訪。雖然他們是用荷葉包及葱絲代替了單餅和葱段，但是在這裏，也就不那麼講究了。

上次回台灣是2003年十一月底的事，當時悅賓樓還掛著內部整修的牌子，後來才聽Jerry說，已經不再營業了。上網找了找有關悅賓樓的消息，確意外的找著了這篇文章。文中所述，還真與我心有戚戚焉。到是這裏，提供了一些下次回台灣可以試試的好地方！

從Kwei那裏看來的小玩意兒...也找了張照片來玩玩， 看看SF Zoo裏頭為大猩猩專設的寬營幕電視！ 全動物園就他一家有電視機...風光嘛... 順便也增加一點進步的氣氛...

VR3 VFM7 MP3 FM Modulator

Looks like a cool gadget to get. Went through the spec, seems it's limited to 512 mb capacity. It'd be really nice if I can hook up one of the card reader instead of those jump drive devices to cheat it. If so, my 1G CF card may still be worth keeping. :) product link from engadget.com 6/25/05: out of stock..... 6/28/05: order placed.....:P 7/6/05: arrived at San Pablo, CA

[推薦] 從聯合國海洋法公約談台灣護漁 - by胖胖腳

這篇文章，應是一系列釣魚 台漁權爭議討論中，對於事實及法理各方面闡釋最為清楚及精闢的一篇評論。實在納悶至極，怎麼沒見任何媒體、政客或是大大小小的各發言人出來解釋解釋？ (Who am I kidding with...sigh...)不過，若將文中提及的「獨立正名的意志」做為實際的第三個選項，是否真能甩開美日中，取得「實際的國際人格」而以外交手段解決問題？ 難道台灣真的只能摸摸鼻子，接受弱國無外交的殘酷事實？
