于是，我拿起iPod Touch，上网、处理邮件、更新网页、听音乐、看电视剧和电影、读小说、养鱼、下棋、画画儿、玩游戏……只要我能想到的，差不多是一应俱全。

这是有了Vivian之后最开始的六周里，午夜时分出现在卧室里的经典一幕。

我现在深刻地意识到：当时在生孩子前买这个iPod Touch的决定是多么的英明而伟大。它帮助我熬过多少漫漫长夜，又帮我缓解了多少初为人母的压力和抑郁。我的生活从此发生了深刻的质变，现在才是真正过上了操控于手掌之上的移动数码新生活。

另一个发现是：苹果的东西真的是太好了。用了才知道微软的系统就象垃圾，人们使劲地破解啊、倒腾啊，想把这些系统弄出各种花样来为自己服务。人家苹果出来的东西不需要瞎折腾就那么到位地好用。而我过去的十好几年完全是被蒙蔽了，说真的我有一种被欺骗的感觉。

因为喜欢，我现在已彻底将iPod touch升级为iPhone，打电话和照相也收归一机。三个月新的iPod移交给我姐和雅雅，并发誓以后不再用任何其它操作系统的手机。

而我下一个目标是：如果有天到了更新我目前的笔记本的时候了，我一定要买个苹果的。

其实想想现代人类的分工真的是越来越细化了，每日生活中可能有90%以上的东西我们都只是拿来就用，对其中的道理很少问究。没有时间？没有精力？或许也没有能力了吧？

我反正基本上是Dummy用户一个了，只懂得如何操纵表面已经傻瓜化了的按钮和预定实现的功能，对于内部的原理一无所知，也不想知道。不过我知道世界上有很小一小部分人，崇尚简单，自食其力的生活，所以他们只在家中保留那些自己能够修理的物件，真是“牛”啊！～

It’s annoying. Knowing that the labels of my blog do help to sort different things out a bit, there are still too many overlaps, too many cross references and too many categories.But in regards to its function, I say it’s little.

However, I have been too scared to touch them, as I know once I open the can of worms, I will have to spend hours and hours (or days and days) to go through all my posts to fix the problem. Mind you I am talking about 994 posts and 49 labels so far, and I doubted if I really want to go into that sort of trouble before I have a clear vision about what I am about to do and what goal I want to achieve.

To be honest, I am not seeing that. It would be extremely hard for me to see anyway, as my blog almost covers everything you can think of that happens in one’s life. Please note that this is not a self-boosting statement, it’s a pain.

Organising my blog is almost as hard as organising my life. Some aspects are easy to define, like food, art, knitting…; some are just too vague to fit into a label or give it a name. It’s almost similar to clean the clutters in house. You have to dig, haunt, toss all your past out and go through every item of them to decide if it’s unwanted or find it a new home.

So I have been debating in my mind….do it or not do it? I had a feeling that one day I would get to the stage that I can no longer stand it and when the time comes, I probably will make some revolutionary changes and shake the whole world:-)

And I know, that day, is better to come sooner than later, as the longer I leave it as it is, the harder the job would get on that particular day.

So, anyone has any tips about how you organise your blog labels?

Now bear with me for a moment for what I have created with this superb cool online scrapbooking software “SMILEBOX”. If you are itchy to “MAKE SOMETHING” like me, you will be totally satisfied. You can create it, print it, blog it and email it. And it’s so easy to be artistic and have something just done as you had ever dreamed. Guess what? I still couldn’t believe that I could have all the fun in just several minutes.

The only thing concerned me is that it’s only going to be 14 days trail to use the software free. But who cares? after 14 days I might not need to use it to kill time at all. I will certainly find something new in my life.

4 or 5 years ago, when I did that, I have only one page of search result about myself on Google, but now I have about 3 pages. Most of them are the articles or translation work that I have done over the past 6 years and published in different sorts of Chinese magazines. Lucky that there seems no second person who’s got exactly the same Chinese name as mine, so all these 3 pages are all really about me.

By googling yourself, you are kind of being open to expect something unexpected. For example, yesterday I happened to notice that Haidian District HR (Personnel) Centre, where my personal file is being kept since I came to Australia, just announced a new list, which released a number of persons’ names who hasn’t contacted the centre for a long time or paid the money up to date for keeping their files. They said after 30 days of this announcement, our files would be ceased being kept in place. (Well, I think I have to let them do so as I don’t see any point to pay for it any more). I actually found another name in the same list that I felt it could be one of my mother’s acquaintances.

You know what else I have been noticing in the past 5 years? I have so many articles that had been re-published in other medium sources, such as other newspapers, online magazines, websites, forums…… but I have never been contacted by any of them for my permission to use them. Getting paid for that? don’t even think about it! Those websites don’t even have courtesy to mention the magazines that initially had published my articles and paid my work That’s where they got them at the first place.

So this is something I found about myself, from Googling myself You might think I am being a total narcissist, but it’s not all about it. There will be a lot of interesting things you would find about yourself if you do it. It’s more like a way to find out what’s happening in this world about the part of yourself that you don’t know

By the way, you can also google other persons’ names to find out where they are up to. Maybe you can find some old Friends from your primary schools. Who knows?
