CliffsNotes for Dim Sum Funeral
By Ada Tseng and Brian Hu
Asia Pacific Arts watches Dim Sum Funeral, so you don't have to.
Dim Sum Funeraldirected by Anna Chi, written by Donald Martin
Summary:
Dim Sum Funeral describes the life of four very Americanized children who fled their Chinese "Dragon Lady" mother in the 2000s. The film focuses on the deceased mother's place in the broken family, in which the children recount stories of the past and lament the barriers that exist between the siblings.

出土她的作品，你可以不問情由指我存心圖利，一路罵到世界末日，但我心中所想做的，以及我責無旁貸要做的，就是整理她留下的一切，讓世人理解和欣賞她，而且永遠記得她。1976年如果胡蘭成已死，台灣局勢有異，家父就會鼓勵她出版，而不是勸阻──出版與否，從來都不是簡單的「是」或「否」一個字便能概括，而是要慮及特定時空的具體處境，再思量理據所在。這是一件嚴肅的事，要花很多工夫決定，不是幾個「張愛玲的忠實讀者」振臂一呼就可了事的。

The Components of the Green Dam System (06/14/2009) How might you design such a system? The first line of defense would be based upon a list of banned URL's. The second line of defense would be based upon filtering by (1) text; (2) photos and (3) videos. Funny things happened along the way for the Green Dam system.
First, about the list of banned URL's in the first line of defense. The project called Green Dam Youth Escort is designed to protect minors from harmful information. What kinds of information are harmful? In the western world, it would be sex and violence. In China, politics may be added. So how do you get a list of harmful URL's? The Chinese know all about the list of harmful political URL's, but they don't know about much about the list of harmful sex-violence URL's. By definition, the sex-violence URL's must be registered/located outside of mainland China because they are banned in China. Where would Green Dam get such a list? Apparently, one solution is to steal it from someone who has such a list.

〈中時果然殺很大〉一文刊出後，引來各式各樣的回應。
其中有個重要的觀點認為，這次中時之所以敢這樣大動作，是因背後有人撐腰，這個人，也不用多講，大家都知道這幫言論者認為就是李登輝口中「中共再大也沒有我老爸大」的那個中共。中時，是中共的鐵衛軍，負責殺雞儆猴。
我離開中時一年多了，這一年，中時為什麼忽地間變得殺氣那麼重，箇中詳情我確實不了解，但我自己的推測是「中時固有的超強自我意識」加上新經營者的「 不愔行規」形成的結果；換言之，我到現在還不能相信是因中時已在往「為匪張目」的傳聲筒之路前進了。

近日來，中時事件沸沸揚揚，有論者指出是媒體結構問題，也有涉及政治背景等觀點。 平心而論，何止中時該檢討？其他媒體難道沒有跨產業的經營狀態？認真檢討起來，台灣的媒體最大問題在於：芝麻綠豆大的事兒也能說得…

書法老師教錯了之2：天份
天份 許多寫字和教寫字的人都強調天份很重要。 我倒是常常說，寫字不需要天份，寫書法哪裡需要天份？古人就是記帳也是毛筆的，記帳需要天份嗎？很多漢朝的「簡」，基本上就是帳本，記載米一斤多少錢、酒一升何價…

國安系統點名林文程、楊黃美幸和董立文三人罪狀，說他們金援藏獨和民運份子，又說馬英九不願見王丹，乃是不願捲入民運團體的紛爭，這些說法均屬自欺欺人之辭。民主基金會的預算有限，如何金援藏獨？海外民運永遠一團亂，與王丹見面何關？真正的理由只有一個，就是這個基金會天天倡導民主、支持民主、談論民主，踐踏到北京的痛腳。
「識正書簡」尤其過分，居然呼籲兩岸達成協議，要大陸人認識正體字，要台灣人書寫簡體字。統派常常喜歡罵獨派「數典忘祖」，這正是馬英九在做的事。馬未兼黨主席已經如此獨裁，黨政軍一把抓後，台灣的「活路外交」不會變成「死路民主」嗎？

Peter Schiff on Jon Stewart
Missed this earlier in the week, but here is Peter Schiff on Jon Stewart. A weak effort from Stewart, to be honest, too gushing and uncritical, but worth a look. -- By Paul Kedrosky · Sunday, June 14, 2009
