，平时都是偶尔用用而已—比如说扳手、电钻、吸尘器，比如说蔬菜去皮机、照相机。
他相信，跟他住在一起的 300 个住户的情况一定也与他类似。而且他的周边还有 20
多栋这样的大楼，这些地方走几步就能到达。
在他看来，很多人密集居住在一栋大型建筑物内代表了一个明显的机会。这些人相互接
近（距离、社会关系、人口特征），手上的东西过剩，如果能够说服他们把不常用的东
西共享出来，让需要用到的人借走，岂不是可以创造出一门生意来？ 只需搭建一个平
台，筹集种子期基金，然后发布出去就可以了。他相信此举一定可以改变世界。
令人抓狂的事情是，一切都如愿以偿，除了改变世界。2006 年，Adam Berk 申请了
www.neighborrow.com 的域名，说服一位朋友加入成为联合创始人，次日从
Craigslist 挖走一个人之后就开始了“瀑布式开发”的流程。他们的创意是吧所有的
东西都收录到一个公共库里面，信誉好的人可以借走东西，用完归还。可惜，他们最终
还是犯下了许多创业者都犯过的同样错误：把钱花在... 阅读全帖 |

调侃美国副总统约瑟夫·拜登(Joseph Robinette "Joe" Biden, Jr)，而他用这种幽默

IN GOD'S WAY
SCHOOL-DAYS
I.
In the melting snow on the hill-side by the sea, in the last rays of the
evening sun, stood a boy of fourteen, awestruck. He looked toward the west,
out across the sea; he looked toward the east, over town and shore and the
broad hills; in the background still higher peaks rose far away in the clear
sky.
The storm had lasted a long time; it had been more terrible, too, than any
the old people could remember. In ... 阅读全帖 |

Dearest creature in creation
Studying English pronunciation,
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse and worse.
I will keep you, Susy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy;
Tear in eye, your dress you'll tear;
Queer, fair seer, hear my prayer.
Pray, console your loving poet,
Make my coat look new, dear, sew it!
Just compare heart, hear and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word.

TAMPA BAY, Fla. -- A subtle, but significant tweak to Florida's rules
regarding traffic signals has allowed local cities and counties to shorten
yellow light intervals, resulting in millions of dollars in additional red
light camera fines.
The 10 News Investigators discovered the Florida Department of

by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The tide rises, the tide falls,
The twilight darkens, the curlew calls;
Along the sea-sands damp and brown
The traveller hastens toward the town,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.
Darkness settles on roofs and walls,
But the sea, the sea in the darkness calls;
The little waves, with their soft, white hands,
Efface the footprints in the sands,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.
The morning breaks; the steeds in their stalls

潮起，潮落
暮色昏，鸟啼寞
褐沙寒浸途迢递
归人路行疾
潮又起，潮又落
暮色深，屋脊没
履痕浅印白浪抹
幽海暗扬波
潮又起，潮又落
昼复始，晓光破
扬蹄厩中马嘶彻
不见归人，长滩空消索
潮又起，潮又落

Of my dull bearer when from thee I speed:
From where thou art why should I haste me thence?
Till I return, of posting is no need.
O, what excuse will my poor beast then find,
When swift extremity can seem but slow?
Then should I spur, though mounted on the wind,
In winged speed no motion shall I know:
Then can no horse with my desire keep pace;
Therefore desire, of perfect'st love being made,
Shall neigh--no dull flesh--in his fiery race;
