應該很多朋友都已經知道，我和在幾個在 #osxchat 頻道廝混的朋友，計畫於本月25日假台大資訊系館舉辦一場#osxchat才藝發表會，來講大家在OSX平台上玩些什麼（後來才知道當天也有反軍購遊行，我個人是⋯比較想去遊行，但是天人交戰之後，還是決定為了狹隘的承諾與興趣，放棄對社會運動的參與，所以，當天要去抗議的朋友們，就連我的份一起抗議吧！）。

在籌備的期間，iCenter蘋果教育中心也熱心幫忙，包括幫忙宣傳與張羅設備，感激非常。不過我這個人一向有話直說，我覺得就iCenter的網站的訊息設計，好像會造成一些誤導。

在進入網站首頁時，可以看到斗大的「報名課程！iPod mini免費帶回家」，看到這樣的文案，我會預期看到旁邊會出現晶瑩剔透、光鮮亮麗、讓人看了就充滿拜物情節與購買慾望的iPod mini，不過，放置在旁邊的，是一台銀白色的、有著類似機器人外觀的，有點像是鬧鐘，老實說光看外表我不太能夠確定用途的器物。這個器物或許是用來將課程內容的意識形態具象化，可是，對iPod mini不熟悉的瀏覽者，可能會以為iPod mini就是那個樣子？

而畫面中一閃一閃的「9:16」，第一眼的印象好像是暗示九月十六日開課，直接點選下去所連接到的網頁，沒有關於開課時間的消息，查一下開課表呢，則是在十四日就有新一季的設計課程了，那，這個「9:16」，好像也是會造成誤導的訊息設計？

順道一提，我看到劉驊老師的名字，總會直覺想到孫協志在《MVP情人》裡頭所飾演的「十九歲最年輕的鑽石級企業家」太子哩。

戲棚食堂是一家位在板橋重慶路上的廣式燒臘快餐店，因為位在一座廟宇的酬神戲棚下，故名之，東西做的不錯，價錢也算便宜。

老闆在電視機的下方，擺了一尊笑口常開的彌勒佛像，然後⋯就像你看到的這個樣子，呵。不知道這樣是對神明不敬，還是神明本來也就有煙癮，還是說，此情此景是「飯後一跟煙，快活似神仙」的具像說明？

Let me introduce Johannes Rusli. Rusli is my new-made friend. He is from Indonesia and moved to Taiwan for study Chinese about one month ago.

About one or two weeks ago, gugod and I were discussing about how to hack the codes of SpaceChewingOSX Input Method in the DelCaffe, a coffee shop where we often go to near the National Taiwan Normal University. Rusli walked by the class windows of that coffee shop and saw both of us were using Apple iBook series laptop computers, he is a Powerbook user and was curious and confused about how to connect to the Internet in such a coffee shop, then we walked in and asked us. We told that he must have a wireless adapter and then he can connect to the Internet by using the Wireless LAN. That’s how we met the first time.

Rusli is also a designer and a blogger. You may visit his website at http://www.johannesrusli.com/, and his blog hosted in the blogger.com at http://jcjr_spuk.blogspot.com/. He studied visual design and multi-media, and majored in interactive multi-media in the Edith Cowan University in Western Australia before coming to Taiwan, you can his simple but elegant works in his website. In his blog, we wrote many blog entries about life in Taiwan recently.

I asked him what made him want to learn Chinese? He answered me, it’s music. The mandarin popular music produced in Taiwan is very popular in Indonesia, he felt that those popular music, especially the lyrics, attractive and move him more than the local popular music and the others. The more he loves the lyrics, the more he wants to learn how to read the original text in Chinese. His favorite artist is David Tao（陶喆）, he bookmarked many websites about Tao in his browser, and check those sites often. Maybe we should try to make Tao to know there is such a fan could like to fly to a foreign and strange country just because him somehow, right?
