Eze, beautiful Eze!

Week 3: Sharing Images

If you haven't been to Eze, go! If you have, I am sure you would have been amazed by this gorgeous little French town as much as I have. It's close to the French city Nice and on the beautiful costal line. It's almost like a bird nest nestled on the hills. Once inside, you will discover a small Provencal village filled with charm and colourful window boxes, plus plenty chic and cute arts and crafts boutiques, some of them are like tiny caves dug out of the rocky hill-side. Eze village is one of the most picturesque spots in the region. In spite of the crowds, it's a "must-see" for visitors...

Small narrow roads, archways and superbly restored stone houses, shady squares, refreshing ancient fountains... you will soon be seduced by the marvels of Eze. The village is so beautiful, it's hard to believe you have not stumbled onto a movie set... !

Live in eworld and have fun with it!

Week 2: Introduction to blogs

I had one thing to confess years ago - I cannot live without Google. Now I guess I have more things to be unhappy live without. You guessed it! All these blogs and photbuckets I often pay my visits. They are part of my entertainment and amusement. To read news on internet is so quick and easy. I could have told my mom in Shanghai some local news there she hasn't heard of. I can still recall quite few years back I used internet to dial up my girlfriend's phone in US. So we had this I type on computer while she talk on the phone chat. It was so interesting. Then things got easier with camera mobile phone came out. All these new technology products made our life more colorful. To keep up with it is indeed a lifelong learning experience. Just like when first time we learnt to use computer, even so many softwares are named made for idiot we still at time strugglled to figure it out. So it's never too late to learn and most important, KEEPING UP with your learning.

Will we lose our jobs to ebook readers?

I honestly was more or less startled when I was reading the latest issue of City Weekly. There it was, a picture of a smart looking ebook reader on the cover. It has a capacity of approx. 200 titles. It also has a basic QWERTY keyboard for limited text input such as margin notes, downloads eBooks wirelessly instead of synchronising with a computer and at the time of writing more than 100,000 books, daily newspapers, magazines and blogs were available for download, including at least 90 of 112 current New York Times bestsellers. Plus, the e-paper is more comfortable to read than conventional computer displays because of the stable image that is not constantly being refreshed, the large viewing angle, and its use of ambient light like normal paper. No wonder since Dymocks launched iLiad e-book reader, demand has been strong. By mid-February, both Dymocks and iRex's Australian distributor has sold out and there was a wait of two to three weeks. Up to now I can't help to wonder - will we ever lose our jobs to ebook readers?

I was quite confident when facebook, youtube and flicker and so on were introdcued. But now my confidence is wearing thin...
