還是聽天由命吧!!!

上星期公車司機出了兩次狀況. 今天不只又出槌, 還把我一起給做了. 和平常一樣, 當公車上高速公路時, 我便開始闔眼休息. 過了好一陣子, 朦朧中聽到背包和物品開始掉落的聲音, 迷迷糊糊裡想著這公車司機怎麼煞車得這麼的急. 司機突然來著更急的煞車. 我就在迷糊中, “滑”下了座椅, 坐在公車地板上. “Nice”, 心裡想著. 就這樣第一次坐車跌到座位下… 原來我的命運還是在公車司機的手中, 不能靠自己. Medical Side Note: Dirty rats have healthier immune systems, study says

[電腦] Rhapsody Music 之一 (U.S. Only)

終於把 Rhapsoy Music 的部份完成. 當進入這個網誌的時候, 網誌會列出我最近收聽的 25 首單曲. 另外加入自己想知道的新專輯資訊, 免費收音機, 和影音資訊. 不過我並不喜歡影音裡面的 MTV, 並不是我喜好的樂風. 也許會把它換成 Rhapsody Music 受歡迎的單曲吧??? 無論是使用哪一種作業系統, Windows, Apple, Linux 都可以收聽 Rhapsody Music 的音樂. 或如果你不是 Rhapsody Music 的會員, 也可以收聽. 因為非會員還是可以每個月免費收聽 25 首歌(收音機的部份可以無限制收聽). 所以還是可以偷聽一下我喜歡的歌有那些. 以後再寫些 Rhapsody Music 的 Web Service. 這東西還滿有趣的, 除了可以讓人分享音樂, 還可以利用 RSS 獲取歌手, 專輯或單曲的資訊.
