a brilliant azure sky, warm sun, and the smell of summer (never mind that it’s december)… We were driving with Zhen a-yi, up the winding roads of yuan ming mountain, spectacular glimpses of Taipei peeking through the bamboo with each turn.

i love wikipedia
online encyclopaedia Wikipedia has tightened its submission rules following a complaint (BBC) and the economist’s special report (on Canada!) this week aptly changed the s. 91 POGG to “Peace, Order and Rocky Government”.

Sigh. bad sign #1: I used the word “morality” 8 times in one paragraph bad sign #2: I used google far more than any of the legal databases. (although that … Read More
