surf the net, I come across a great introduction on YSQL.
http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/other/an-api-for-the-web-learning-yql/
YSQL (“Yahoo Query Language”) is a tool to query a lot of things from web.
For example, you can query 10 “cat” photos from flickr by statement:
select * from flickr.photos.search where text=”Cat” limit 10
and result can be in XML and JSON format.
The best of all, it has an excellent console for you to test out the query.

yahoo really does something brilliant this time.
and here is the screencast:

today I insert a DVD into my macbook pro but no response… it really make scare.
OK.. no panic.. googling and here is the answer (extracted from macrumors.com – http://guides.macrumors.com/Force_Eject_a_Stuck_CD_or_DVD )
# Open Disk Utility and choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-hand pane, then click on the Eject button.
# Some Macintoshes have a paperclip hole that you can insert a straightened paperclip into, manually triggering the eject mechanism.
# Open Terminal and type “drutil tray eject” to eject the disc/tray, and “drutil tray close” to close the tray.
In dig into youtube, my attention focused on the stop motion animation/file.
The idea is simple, you take a 1000 pictures on an objection and and glue them together and play in ~24 frame per second. Everyone can do it using your webcam (of course it takes long time). But you just cannot image how hobbyist can take it into this extreme.
super awesome..
I’m not native english speaker, it is a bit difficult to speak word correctly.
And I find this Text to speech site is rather useful.
It is AT&T Labs Text-to-Speech Demo Site.
Just types in your word, it returns wav and say in beautiful voice. It has more than ten voice for you and my favorite is Cystal (ths first one).
really amazing working… 1:1 scale gundam in standing position.
after using Canon G10 for few months, it is really great camera.
Pro:
Cons:
Just purchased Canon G10. It is nice (but not little) DC.
It is bigger and heavier than normal DC, but with more switches, you can change options without go via the menu.
And the picture quality is quite good, especially the warm nature color in compare with other companies.
But the downside is (same as other small DC), the noise level is higher when using high-iso.
Sample photos
This is a test post from 
, a fancy photo sharing thing.
Ubuntu 8.10 – has a feature call “Create USB Startup Disk”. It creates bootable USB drive for install.
But the best part of it is, it has an addition feature named “reserved extra space”. It allows user to save set file, document, perference or even application, just like you’re working on normal harddisk.
It is amazing, for example, I can install application (let say the gnome-do) on the desktop computer. Plug the USB drive into my notebook and write blog about it.
Of course, it has a downside, since it consider you’re running as livecd. It takes rather long time to startup. In my notebook, it take ~3-4 mins.
From ubuntu forum, someone mentioned that he tried to do the full installation on a USB drive and it only take ~30 secs to startup. I will give it a try if I can find an extra USB drive.
