Random Thoughts: August 2015
http://passerby100.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Life is a random walk down the street. Saturday, August 01, 2015. The Book of Tea. By Kakuzo Okakura,1906. The Chrysanthemum and the Sword. By Ruth Benedict, 1946. Hiroshi 善谈且幽默，总是跟大家说，他不是典型的日本人，他喜欢美国，喜欢看美国人打棒球：每个人拿棒子的姿势都不一样；而日本人小时候上的第一课，就是棒子的正确举法。过二十五岁生日时，他又说，如果在日本的话，你就是圣诞节蛋糕啦！《菊与刀》的序言中提及日本人“既礼貌又固执”，这句话对我颇有些醍醐灌顶的效果。跟我工作多年的. Norio 就可以这么形容，常让我困惑不已。原来，我以为的个性却是共性。但这么一来，疑问更大了，这样的文化特性，是如何形成的？ Norio ，他只是痛心疾首，说年轻人变了，传统丢了。。。。 但不只一个书友对此书有保留意见。蚂蚁认为这是西人写的关于东方人的书，不可盲信；院长说鲁思·本尼迪克特连日本都没有去过...茶的历史，其实就是中国的历史&#...

Random Thoughts: November 2013
http://passerby100.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Life is a random walk down the street. Monday, November 11, 2013. Inspired by Elizabeth Bishop. Inspired by Elilzabeth Bishop. There are no surprises. When I walk on the Beacon Street. Of Boston, Massachusetts. Trees and trees of colors. Red, yellow, orange. Brown and purple, and some. On the left is the giant chair, recently built. And painted in a rusty red. Cars wait patiently for the lights to turn. Green, a grey mixer is turning and turning. On top of the waiting truck, “Go Sox” is turned.

Life is a random walk down the street. Sunday, May 10, 2015. Dear Miss Brontë,. Dear Miss Brontë,. Lady Hamilton as Catherine. I've just re-read your novel Wuthering Heights. It brought back fond memories and fresh thoughts. Flipping through only a few pages this time, I was much surprised by how complicated the cultural setting and the vocabulary were. I wondered aloud how I could possibly have gone through it decades ago. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Dear Miss Brontë,. View my complete profile.

Life is a random walk down the street. Saturday, June 22, 2013. Double helix at 60. My little poem is not much to match. But hey it's a genuine show of love. :-). Head to tail, tail to head. Holding tight, not to tread. Physical strains o'er chemical bands. Spiraled over, that thread. Living in a cellular land. I say a "Zipper! The little engine that can . has to. When Dr. Randy Pausch took the podium to deliver the now famous "last lecture", the most critical moment had long passed. Sunday, June 09, 2013.

Random Thoughts: October 2013

Life is a random walk down the street. Saturday, October 12, 2013. Melville's writings are preserved at Harvard library. 皮廓德号从麻州的海岛楠塔基特出发时，似乎与所有其它的捕鲸船无异，只是船长亚哈一直没有露面。 但这也可以理解，亚哈在上一次航海时，试图捕捉大白鲸莫比•迪克不成，反被后者咬掉一条腿，据说腿伤至今还没有完全恢复。 于是，船上的一应杂事，都由经验丰富的大副斯达巴克及两个助手打点。 但是，大家总能感受到船长的存在，因为他似乎不怎么睡觉，经常深夜在甲板上来回踱步，鲸鱼颚骨做成的假腿尖把船板敲得咚咚作响。。。 启航后不久的一天，亚哈突然把所有的船员召集到甲板上，向大家透露了自己处心积虑隐藏至今的秘密。 原来，亚哈此行的目的只有一个，追捕莫比•迪克，为自己报仇。 亚哈声情并茂、恩威并施的演讲和许诺，煽动得群情激奋，只有斯达巴克徒劳地虚弱地表示了一下反对。 这就是赫尔曼•梅尔维尔的《白鲸记》（. Harold Bloom, in Bloom's BioCritiques. 一八三九年...

Random Thoughts: January 2013

Life is a random walk down the street. Wednesday, January 23, 2013. 人与《枪炮、病菌和钢铁》. Guns, Germs and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies. 今年过节不顺，一家人除了俗事就是病痛，很多时候是躺在床上度过的。 但手边的书恰好是《枪炮、病菌和钢铁》，放眼千万年人类社会的消亡和变迁，自怨自艾的机会就这么错过了。 钻石教授 是洛杉矶大学的地理以及生理学的教授。《枪炮、病菌和钢铁》于1997年发表后即风行全国，很快获得普利策奖（Pulitzer Prize）和 Phi Beta Kappa 奖，并成为很多大学专业和公司上层的必读书，影响巨大。他本人也因此书获得国家科学奖章。 但是农业的出现，实质上完全仰仗于自然生态环境中可以培植的植物和可供驯化的动物的存在。 作者分析了各大陆的原住居民的历史，确信他们都有培育植物和驯化动物的能力和行为，但仔细研究各个大陆的野生动植物，就会发现，并不是所有的动植物都可以被人...谈到驯化的困难，作者借用了托尔斯泰的名言“幸福的婚姻...换一个角度看问题&#...

Random Thoughts: A world view according to a fox
http://passerby100.blogspot.com/2015/04/a-world-view-according-to-fox.html
Life is a random walk down the street. Friday, April 03, 2015. A world view according to a fox. The Signal and the Noise: Why Many Forecasts Fail - and Some Don't. It's actually a pretty entertaining book despite an apparently technical topic. some scientific training might be required to appreciate it however. But this book is emphatically against the nihilistic viewpoint that there is no objective truth. It asserts, rather, that a belief in the objective truth— and a commitment to pursuing it...8220;Yo...

Life is a random walk down the street. Wednesday, May 22, 2013. A fiction and a philosophical hourglass. Http:/ www.anaccidentalgod.com/. With the extensive and opinionated preface in mind, I was happy to see that the author's own philosophy is woven into the story in a non-intrusive and fairly charming way. All in all, a fun read with some good food for thought. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A fiction and a philosophical hourglass. Æä¸æå
