正義之戰

沒有一場戰爭,不是由兩派自認正義的人掀起的。真正危險的人,堅信自己所作所為僅出於此乃毋庸置疑的正義之事。這正是他們的可怕之處。
—星期三,尼爾.蓋曼「美國眾神」

“There’s never been a true war that wasn’t fought between two sets of people who were certain they were in the right. The really dangerous people believe they are doing whatever they are doing solely and only because it is without question the right thing to do. And that is what makes them dangerous.”
—Wednesday, in the novel American Gods by Neil Gaiman

【短片】職業摔角 香港製造

上月一個星期六晚上,香港地上演了一場扣人心弦的職業摔角表演。本地、遠道而來的各國職業摔角手在擂台上埋身肉搏,觀眾個個眼神熾熱,歡呼尖叫此起彼落。

擂台很方正,中間上演的賽事卻一次次跳出想像的框框 —— 選手除了大展拳腳,還要發揮演技。職業摔角,意指以表演形式進行摔角比賽的體藝娛樂,內容結果都經過事先策劃,摔角手會用不同格鬥技法,配合劇本演活角色。

主辦這次表演的港摔(HKWF)是香港唯一職業摔角組織,成立已近 15 年。港摔曾面臨解散危機,但機緣下他們再次跳出舒適圈甚至自組公司,由處理繁複文件到籌備大型表演,一手一腳落力又瞓身,只為告訴世人:「香港有職業摔角!」

尋食記

在香港找美食不用坐觀光車。你毋須知道要往何方 —— 直接出發就是了。
—安東尼.波登(美國名廚、作家及旅遊節目主持)

“In Hong Kong you don’t take the tour bus to find good food. You don’t need to know where you’re going — you just press start.”
—Anthony Bourdain, American celebrity chef, author, and travel documentarian

同理心

同理,是從自己的經驗出發,並不是指單純的同情心。
同理的「理」是指知識,不然就叫「同情」。
—唐鳳(台灣數位發展部部長、自由軟件程式設計師)

【愛在左右】弓道自在人心

一般對射箭的認知,可能是以射中標靶為最主要目的。但在香港弓道協會創會會長 Bruce、靖思堂弓道場負責人大卡等習日本弓道之人心中,從站姿持弓到引弓發箭,如何做好每個動作,才是要務。弓道重視完善自我,通過不斷練習,不同學員也別有體悟及收穫。

防不勝防

唯一真正安全的電腦系統,就是關上電源,丟進水泥塊裡,封進以鉛作襯裡的房間,外面有武裝守衛把守 —— 即使如此我還是會抱持懷疑。
—尤金.史帕福德(美國普渡大學電腦科學系教授、著名電腦安全專家)

“The only truly secure system is one that is powered off, cast in a block of concrete and sealed in a lead-lined room with armed guards – and even then I have my doubts.”
—Eugene H. Spafford, professor of Computer Sciences at Purdue University and computer security expert

搞活搞旺城巿

一座好城巿就像一場好派對 —— 人們在此停留的時間比實際需要還長,因為他們覺得享受。
—揚.蓋爾(丹麥建築師及城巿規劃師)

“A good city is like a good party – people stay longer than really necessary because they are enjoying themselves.”
—Jan Gehl, Danish architect and urban design consultant

下鋪…… 再一鋪,贏咗就收手!

一開始當我執行這場龐氏騙局時,曾深信事情很快就會完結,到時我和我的客戶都能擺脫這一場局。
—伯納.馬多夫(前納斯達克主席,史上最大龐氏騙局的主謀)

“When I began the Ponzi scheme I believed it would end shortly and I would be able to extricate myself and my clients from the scheme.”
—Bernard Madoff, former chairman of Nasdaq, mastermind of the largest Ponzi scheme in history

滾雪球

我的投資者人數突飛猛進地成長。每一個滿意的顧客都會自發成為推銷員。事情能這麼順利,都是拜他們所有人的推銷所賜,不是我一人的功勞。我承認是我推了顆小雪球,但是它自己滾成一場雪崩。
—查爾斯.龐茲(龐氏騙局始祖)

“The legion of my investors grew by leaps and bounds. Each satisfied customer became a self-appointed salesman. It was their combined salesmanship, and not my own, that put the thing over. I admit that I started a small snow ball down hill. But it developed into an avalanche by itself.”
—Charles Ponzi, the original Ponzi schemer

多讀不如揀好

以前我會強迫自己看完所有開了的書,因為我認為這在年輕時是很好的紀律訓練。但是,一旦你確立了自己的品味,你會意識到直到死之前為止,你能讀的書其實很有限,從此要讀完一本爛書便簡直令人作嘔。
—哈瑞伊.昆祖魯(英國小說家及記者)

“I used to force myself to finish everything I started, which I think is quite good discipline when you’re young, but once you’ve established your taste, and the penny drops that there are only a certain number of books you’ll get to read before you die, reading bad ones becomes almost nauseating.”
—Hari Kunzru, British novelist and journalist

我們拒絕君王、總統和投票。我們相信粗略的共識和運行的程式。
—大衛.克拉克(美國電腦科學家、互聯網先驅)

“We reject: kings, presidents, and voting. We believe in: rough consensus and running code.”
—David D. Clark, American computer scientist and Internet pioneer

災禍是極端自然現象與脆弱人口之間的相互作用,同時考慮這兩個要素至關重要。沒有人,就沒有禍。
—菲爾.歐基佛、肯.威斯基特及班.韋斯納「不自然的自然災禍」

“Disaster marks the interface between an extreme physical phenomenon and a vulnerable human population. It is of paramount importance to recognise both of these elements. Without people there is no disaster.”
—O’Keefe, P., Westgate, K. & Wisner, B. Taking the naturalness out of natural disasters. Nature 260, 566–567 (1976)
