They’re on the buses, in the KCR, over our head, under our feet - even next to the register at 7-11. What do ou do when the drone becomes too much?
1. Buy the TV-B-Gone universal remote from Adbusters Media Foundation, “the ultimate jamming tool for recovering public space.” Get it at www.adbusters.org. They have two versions - one for Asia and North America and the other for everywhere else - so make sure to order the proper one. It’s about $200.
2. This tiny device is simple to operate. Aim it at any TV seven- 17m away and clcik the switch. It will work on nearly every kind of TV monitor, though certain secure military devices will be resistant.
3. Enjoy the silence.

Becoming is a question of undoing the structures of domination by careful, patient revisitations, re-adjustments, micro-changes. A long apprenticeship to minute transformations, through endless repetitions, will replace the illusion of a royal road to the revolution or of one single point of resistance, and assert instead the constant flows of met(r)amorphoses. Becoming is a nomadic kind of revisitation or remembering which traces empowering transversal lines that cut across the staticity of sedimented memory, activating it by de-programming it out of the dominant mode. Becomings are creative work-in-progress processes. Like a text by Gertrude Stein, set to music by Philip Glass and performed by Diamanda Galas, it is the kind of refrain that sticks and keeps on returning: the sort of thing that one, quite simply, forgot to forget.

政府撥款350萬助巴國
應巴基斯坦政府的要求,香港特區政府已購置及正安排空運20噸救援物資往巴基斯坦,以幫助該國受地震影響的災民。該批物資主要是帳幕及毛毯。是次物資付運,乃在賑災基金諮詢委員會為今次災難成立的特別機制下作出。特別機制讓香港政府直接回應受災害影響國家政府的呼籲,迅速回應以撥出款項或購置所需物資。

iMedia Connection: Hong Kong’s Digital Potential
Hong Kong’s Digital Potential
November 30, 2004
By Elizabeth M. Lloyd
Statistics point to Hong Kong being a leading digital city in the globally connected world.
Having just returned from one of my favorite places in the world, Hong Kong, I cannot help but think about the enormous opportunity it has for the online marketing industry. Hong Kong is poised as a leading digital city in the globally connected world. Upon reading the following statistics, you’ll see why.
Hong Kong’s total population is 6,727,900. Of this total population, 4,878,713 are Internet users; that is 72.5 percent of Internet penetration, according to Nielsen NetRatings. What is truly more amazing is that a mere four years ago, the Internet population was 2,283,000, signifying a growth rate of 113.7 percent from 2000 to 2004.

滿足轉瞬成空虛。愉快與歡樂,眨眼變為煩悶與苦痛。逐步向前,成為不斷的撲空。強力只是一個黑影,充實只是一個幻覺。
人生意義只在無盡止的過程上,而一切努力又安排在外面。
外面安排,逐漸形成一個客體。那個客體,終至於回向安排它的人生宣佈獨立了。那客體的獨立化,便是向外人生之僵化。
西洋有句流行語說:「結婚為總愛之墳墓」,大可報告我們這一條人生進程之大體段的情形了。
若果戀愛真是一種向外追求,戀愛完成才始有婚姻。然而婚姻本身便要阻擋戀愛之再向前,更且回頭把戀愛消滅。
後記:
這段書抄自「人生三路向」。想來想去,還不能肯定自己懂了沒有。向姊求教,懂了一點,回家反復思量。又想起朋友們曾說,不要讓自己成為自己的信念(大意)。有點明白了。當人所追求的是外在的、前進式的目標,那東西漸漸成為生命以外自行獨立的一套系統,人仍然不斷在裡面自以為是的「行進」,但它很可能變成於己無關的、僵化的、缺乏生命力的系統,甚至逐漸將人本身的生命吞噬。
