关于我 　
背景：
通过职业与训练，我成为一名软件工程师，但多年来我仍试着学习其他知识。我有时很羡慕那些在文艺复兴时期的伟人，了解整个人类的大部分知识，他们的所作所为起了使许多人开化的作用，为人类掌握更多的知识打下了基础。但后来我又想，我们现在知道的东西已比他们多得多了。
名言：
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it." （如果没坏，就别修它。）
座右铭：
天文学，科学历史与哲学，古典音乐，因特网及有关Macintosh的一切。
欣赏的语言：
"I know that I am mortal and the creature of a day; but when I search out the massed wheeling circles of the stars, my feet no longer touch the earth, but, side by side with Zeus himself, I take my fill of ambrosia, the food of the gods." -- Claudius Ptolemaeus (托勒密)

"Never ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by ignorance."

"It is better to know some of the questions than all of the answers." -- James Thurber

"Science is a way of trying not to fool yourself." -- Richard Feynman

"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science." -- Charles Darwin

"If we die, do not mourn for us. This is a risky business we're in, and we accept those risks. The space program is too valuable to this country to be halted for too long if a disaster should ever happen." -- Gus Grissom, three weeks before he was killed in the Apollo 1 fire.

欣赏的妙语：
"Eschew obfuscation."

"I didn't claw my way to the top of the food chain to eat vegetables."

"Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot."

"Puritanism: the haunting fear that someone, somewhere may be happy."

"Quantum Mechanics: the dreams stuff is made of."

最终幻想 　
Three Ships
 Some say the world will end in fire,
some say ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

      -- Robert Frost
