Mac Style Window Switch: Switcher


非常羡慕Mac用户轻巧直观的窗口切换。Windows尽管到了7和Aero,也没有让人满意的窗口切换。于是在网上做了一番研究,发现了一个小程序Switcher. 按下组合键,双屏打开的窗口迅速自动缩小平铺,点中我想要的之后立刻切换。再也不用放大缩小拖来拖去了。这个程序必须在Windows Aero启用的情况下才能用。 所以XP用户就没戏了。





 另外,我还使用WinSplit来定制窗口的大小和位置,再也不用去手动缩放了。


耳机和Keane

我办公室的headset是一个单耳带麦克的那种,是IT部门替我买的。laptop配的headset也是类似的。知道最近崽崽把它的家当都搬过来了,带来我给他买的SENNHEISER的headset,不仅有麦克,而且有两个耳。用它随便听什么都爽很多。忽然间发现原来对音乐失去兴趣或许是因为没有好的headset。 

刚听了Keane的Somewhere Only We Know. 很久以来就喜欢这首歌了。

Someone who loves me get me this

Drove 6 hours to visit Chicago to see Zai. Zai has been planning this for days and planned a long list to to see, to eat, and to buys. I feel I have gotten a personal tour guide, you know the kind that takes care of every thing including shopping. At the end of day, I had to plea zai not to see more places and let my  legs rest. In one of the shops in Chinatown, Zai recommended me a particular refrigerator magnet  like below:

 

We bought it and added to our collection of magnets we've bought over our trips. I thought this was a cute romantic gesture - though technically I bought this. On NPR, there was a story that said "I love you" loses its meaning after it is said for the first time. Indeed, it would be odd for lovers to reiterate "I love you" to each other and mean it. That's where small things and gestures speak louder than words.
