A scientific voice for GMO. 基因改造,一位科學家支持者的想法

A different take on genetically modified foods. Food for thought to start another busy workday.

Sometimes you just have to pull through the laziness


Even if it's not a great workout, it's still a workout. Proud of myself for having drag
好久沒划船,好吃力。
最近的晨間運動都有一搭沒一搭的,唉~
越不運動就越累、越懶,所以更要把自己拖出門動一動!

Forget the ice-cream...



還沒拍就溶成這樣,怎麼吃都不雅觀,最後決定放棄⋯
暑くて、ソフトクリームがすぐ溶けてしちゃいました。しかしこんな形に、どうしようもなくて、諦めるしかない…

Rained out in Kaohsiung



今晨高雄⋯在下雨。如果鞋子太濕,明天就不能跑,所以兩公里多就折返了。

Ice Monster Shaved Ice and Frajo Gelato 剉冰與義式冰淇淋

20150502 台灣好好玩 Time for Taiwan
冰涼一下 外國人愛台灣剉冰
Shaved Ice and Fresh Fruit Gelatos

Both the shaved ice from Ice Monster and fresh fruit gelato/sorbet from Frajo that we tasted in this episode are fantastic! I highly recommend both of these places. Frajo's fruit gelatos were especially tasty, compared to the sesame and the non-fruit flavors. The fruit gelatos simply taste fresh and natural. I would definitely go back!

不管是剉冰還是義大利冰,我覺得都很好吃。

台北的Ice Monster超有名,不管是芒果冰或珍奶冰,都很好吃。只是我覺得庶民點心的剉冰在一個裝潢有點像夜店的地方吃,讓我的神經有點不協調。或許老闆考量一碗那麼多錢(幾乎都兩百以上,有的接近三百。雖然單價高,但吃得超開心),應該提供一個高級一點的環境給客人。或許燈光太暗,調亮一點就好?或許我想太多。

Frajo 是台中一家新的義式冰淇淋,水果冰,番茄冰超級好吃!感覺在吃天然新鮮的水果,超讚!店家說他們冰淇淋都是每天早上打的,絕對新鮮。至於芝麻,南瓜非水果類的,就沒有那麼讓我驚豔。店面二樓是主要用餐區,勘景後,我們決定在一樓冰櫃前的高腳桌拍攝。二樓比較像吃氣氛的地方,讓我想到現代極檢法國風,但又好像缺了點什麼。要是我有機會再經過Frajo,然後沒感冒(這集重感冒還一直吃冰,有點吃力...),我一定還會去吃。他們的麵包店就在隔壁,也有很好吃的老麥麵包喔!

Boostedboard Review 電動滑板評價



Boostedboards 電動滑板使用感想

買了一個月了,覺得這玩意兒超棒,很像在玩滑雪版,但是在都市滑,上坡下坡都能滑,而且能煞車。我這台Dual+具有2000瓦特電力,最快速度號稱可高達時速每小時35.4公里,爬上25%坡度。衝一次電約1小時,可在平地跑10公里。我沒有嘗試把它滑到極限,但以在台北市小巷子裡的使用,從淡水竹圍爬到紅樹林的經驗,它真的蠻厲害。(但也很貴,這台美金1500元,還不能免稅,然後目前還要自己或找人幫你帶回台灣)

我比較常把它當做交通工具,滑到公車/捷運站,出來繼續滑到目的地。能帶上下公眾輸運系統對我來說,方便極了。

目前碰到的缺點是,偶爾尤其到台北一些大的交叉路口(忠孝敦化路口很嚴重)會碰到干擾,板子會失去動力/煞車,等於變成一般的滑板,沒辦法電動加速和減速。舊金山,紐約等大都市都有人反應類似問題。所以呢,第一,要滑的話,一定要學會腳動煞車(就是後腳,整個腳底放平在地上摩擦),第二,到路口要特別注意,隨機應變,第三,不要笨笨的衝,要隨時注意安全。

Endless Social Networking 社群網站



With more social networking sites to update than braincells in my skull, sometimes it's really overwhelming! My Facebook, Facebook fan page, twitter, this blog (that's been collecting only dust  in the last few years), instagram (that I've completely skipped), reddit (skipped that too)...how can I efficiently update most or all of these at a reasonable frequency? Any ideas?

So far I've linked the fan page and twitter accounts and now I'm going to try to copy and paste content from the fan page and some posts from my personal Facebook account. Let's see how this goes. Maybe I'll write in different languages in different posts so I'm not endlessly translating my own ramblings.

這些日子,得經營的社群網站可真多。因為非都自己來,所以感覺好忙,好費時間。留下私人臉書,其它的外包出去?就算我有那種資源,我覺得自己寫還是比較有溫度(目前是這麼想啦)。

個人臉書,臉書粉絲頁,荒廢了多年的部落格(今天開始嘗試把臉書和粉絲頁的內容適當的copy and paste過去),推特(直接用臉書粉絲頁自動copy自動投稿),instagram(我直接跳過),reddit(跳過)...

一個頭,好幾個大,得想一想如何有效率的經營。大家有什麼建議嗎?

Pearl Milk Tea 珍珠奶茶

老闆,一杯冰的珍奶拿鐵,去冰微糖,謝謝!

珍奶很好喝,不過我只偶爾喝,因為我的胃不太習慣咖啡因。不過喝的話呢,我都堅持要鮮奶,不要奶精,感覺比較健康啦。再來是,也盡量到知名手搖茶店買,感覺比較有保障啦。這次我們採訪了春水堂和翰林茶館,兩家都很知名,品質都端得上國際餐桌。

Pearl milk tea, please! love pearl milk tea. I always get it with fresh milk and not creamer. It just feels healthier. In this episode of Time for Taiwan, Cédric Jouarie​ and I visited Hanlin and Chunshuitang, both of which claim to be the inventor of the pearl tea. Controversy aside, they are both great tea house chains. Personally, I think Chunshuitang has better decor and Hanlin has better food. Tea wise, I think they're both great. Have a taste and let me know what you think!
