Mudkip's Journal

使用了半年多 Tumblr，转贴，分享，Reblog，以及无法在140字内表达的东西渐渐成为了这里的主体内容。虽然很喜欢 Tumblr，但这里似乎并不是一个适合长时间书写的地方。所以除了 Tumblr 之外，一直希望有一个更安静惬意的地方写一些东西。

于是就有了水跃脚印志，地址是 pages.mudkip.me。我努力让它充实起来，也会继续在这里记录和分享。

祝看到这里的各位农历新年快乐！

The fallout from the failure of SOPA and PIPA is just as interesting as the main topics themselves. First, many on the web with loud voices are finally waking up to how corrupt the lobbying/political system is in this country. Second, directly-related, there’s a quickly growing anti-Hollywood sentiment.

The most forceful stance has to be Y Combinator putting out a new RFS (Request for Startups) will one goal: Kill Hollywood. 

It’s an important statement and message given the bullshit the MPAA is up to. But it’s also important to separate film, the artform, from Hollywood, the industry.

A excellent post about the recent SOPA and PIPA issues. In addition, all these organized crime business should be killed, including but not limited to MPAA, RIAA and MPEG-LA.

iTunes Match Support Community.

Since iTunes Match became available in 19 new countries on Jan 17, many users of iTunes Match, including me, cannot match any new songs to the iCloud. Most people stuck on Step 2, and there were zero progress in hours.

Now almost 100 hours passed, Apple didn’t say a single word upon this issue. It’s very Apple-y. The idea and design of iTunes Match are great, but Apple still didn’t learn how to operate an online paid service.

Aren’t you just bored with all those slides-based presentations?

Second Crack is a basic static-file blog engine using Markdown-formatted text files as input.

The SSG that powers Marco Arment’s weblog, with bookmarklets for quick posting and Dropbox sync.

This is the best setup I’ve ever read. When I read the last paragraph, I was nodding and smiling. I’m really glad that there are so many people on earth having the same values and lifestyles with me. And with Pokémon and a dozen of geeky gadgets with me, I never feel lonely.

There is no doubt some overlap in my Apple products. I have reasons for picking each (which I’ve tried to list) but it’s clear I could do without one or two of them. The truth is, I don’t want to. I’m not wealthy, but technology is the one place I’m comfortable to splurge a little with money. My shoes are usually a couple years old, I’ve worn the same brand/style of clothes for 20 years, I’m fine with grilled cheese and a pickle for dinner. Like a lot of you, it doesn’t take many possessions to keep me going. But, I do like cutting edge technology, and I like learning what it can do.

So ideal? I suppose it’s whatever is coming next. And I’ll use it while wearing my old clothes and eating my sandwich dinner.
