I was recently thinking about legendary Country artists that have little significance in today’s Country music world or in the pop culture at large. They certainly have respect and have been influences on culture, but they have either been shut out of today’s world or have purposefully decided not to participate. It happens. Then there are [...]

To me the real winners of any awards show are the artists who can consistently pull off great performances or who bring something incredible to the program. My winners this year: George Strait, Keith Urban, Miranda Lambert, Kid Rock, Lady Antebellum, Trace Adkins, Darius Rucker, Carrie Underwood, and Reba’s short solo with B&D. The rest were okay and a couple were downright awful. I wonder [...]

Just noticed that Facebook open-sourced a version of their BigTable data store and it's hosted on Google code, written in Java. I'll omit the obvious snickers about Facebook cloning BigTable and then hosting on Google Code.All content Copyright 2005, 2006 James Abley

首先，必须旗帜鲜明地指出，政府是拿来批评的，不是拿来供着的，开动花纳税人的钱而自办的宣传机器自我表扬更是可耻的，批评政府是民众天然不可让渡的权利。可惜的是，六十年来，这样的思路成形已久，官方不仅自我大上“伟光正”的油彩，而且借颠覆国家政权来打压对政府的批评者。不少民众以为政府是拿来理解甚至是供着的，是拿来仰望和感恩的，即令民众心实怨恨，但不敢公开批评并且据实以陈。如此恶性循环，官民共同完成了一个关于政府常识的神话，从而达致民众低福利，而政府官员高收益，民众受高度压迫和盘剥实深的社会格局。 政府包括我们的政府不可爱是天然的，但为什么我们的政府可恶呢？且听 ...
