Jayhan Loves Design & Japan » I love typography - 0 views

  • I have great interests in typography subject since studying in graphic design course. It is amazing that by using a certain typefaces with the placement of the types can create incredible visual language even without the using of images. Typography is actually a very professional skills, because it is not just about selecting the right typefaces, but the layout, the size, the grid and many more.

ilyagram » Blog Archive » 對話:一種創傷(演化)的科技形式 - 0 views

  • 紀錄片教堂的文化批判很刺耳,評論者期待用尖刺戮穿「感動論述」的表皮,觸及 921 歷史的瘀血。正如《生命》不是一部與我們生命無關的紀實電影,批判也不僅僅是一種刻板印象。正因為有網路,我們得以如此迅速地互相援引、相濡以沫,我們也因為這些批判而得以凝視我們自身,延伸在感動論述之外的行動。否則今日的紀錄片熱潮不就是重演昔日的救援災難?善意與關注接續不絕、絡繹於塗,堆積在殘骸之上宛如鮮美的綠草果醬,塗抹九份二山封存了內部真相的現身契機。
  • 在苦勞網的建檔評論裡面,在網路評論者的 blog 與回應中,這些對話讓我們有機會能夠回到那集體的創傷體驗之中,再一次的反思與面對自己。正如同我在另外一篇文章中提到,應該要有一種讓《生命》的影像能夠成為世界公民的公共財的授權形式,讓集體的生命體驗回到眾人自身。檔案共享不應該只是拿來傳遞消費取向的文化商品,也應該讓對生命的凝視、深刻的批判有機會可以讓更多人傳遞,就如同這篇文章所選擇的 creative commons(創意共用公共財)授權模式一樣:創傷作為一種文件,應該要能夠被今日的技術環境與網路環境如實地保存下來,能夠讓人們以各種可能去尋找那點亮現在潛能的片刻。

Global Voices Online » China: Time to pray - 0 views

  • China: Time to pray Friday, May 16th, 2008 @ 21:42 UTC by John Kennedy
  • ‘Pray for the disaster victims, god bless China' has been the main motif on many main Chinese blogging websites as the country moves past the hundredth hour of mourning, fund-raising and blood donations.
  • The MeMedia collective has being doing in Chinese for total coverage of Earthquake discussions what the crew at Shanghaiist have been doing in English; among all the links MeMedia has been aggregating and sharing publicly on Diigo has been the last blog post from a teacher in Beichuan who didn't survive the earthquake, photos of a school sports activity from May 11.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Blogger Oliver Ding has set up a community space on SlideShare for those affected by and working against the damage done by the earthquake, one of the many ways to help the earthquake victims that in turn is being shown support on Digg.
  • Support for relief efforts from English-language bloggers has been equally swift and thorough. Overall support for Red Cross China has been so strong that accessing the Red Cross website for the past several days has been difficult due to the high volumes of traffic it has been receiving. In no particular order, here are just a few of the many blog posts foreign and English-language bloggers in China have given us in just a few hectic days: http://www.ifgogo.com/80/how-to-donate/ http://cnreviews.com/uncategorized/china_earthquake_relief_and_donation_guide_-_will_update_20080514.html http://cupofcha.com/2008/05/16/ways-to-donate-to-earthquake-relief.html http://www.chinavortex.com/2008/05/how-chinese-websites-are-helping-donations-for-sichuan-earthquake-victims/ http://shanghaiist.com/2008/05/13/red_cross_society_earthquake_sichuan.php http://beijingbookworm.com/whatsnew.htm http://www.pandapassport.com/chinese-internet/donate-for-adspace/ http://www.lostlaowai.com/commentary/blog/2008/05/15/add-a-quake-relief-donation-badge-to-your-blogsite/ http://rconversation.blogs.com/rconversation/2008/05/help-chinas-qua.html http://chinesepod.com/earthquake_relief http://shanghaiist.com/2008/05/16/green_scene_how.php

今日感慨:在扩展关系中提升地位-袁岳 - 新浪BLOG - 0 views

    • Oliver Ding
       
      想不到讲社会资本的结构洞理论能够讲得这么通俗易懂,真是不简单。
  • 社会学中有一个理论叫结构洞理论。在座每个人在不同的单位工作,在不同行当里工作,生活在不同的世界里面,我们说你就是生活在不同结构里面。
  • 一方面我们要有专业精神,另外一方面也不要把自己看得那么专业。我们不仅要广泛的树立对其他领域知识的兴趣,同时要适度的寻找在其他结构中的机会。这就是我们讲的社会交往技术中间的第一个要点——取向,你要在你的结构中间打一个洞爬到另外一个结构里面去。
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • 你交往的半径越远,你表现得越优秀。人在扩张见识,扩大半径的过程中间一方面会变得比平时敏感,另外一方面会愿意表现自己优越的方面,所以在这个意义上来说我们今天特别鼓励大家不仅仅交一般的陌生人,你应该到更远地方去旅行,扩大见识,才会知道世界上的人,印度人、巴西人、美国人与我们看问题的方式在文化上是有不一样的
  • 从社会资本的角度来说,这种跨越能够极大的改善我们资本的质量,在我们说的社会交往的多样性规则,其实这个多样性跟这个取向也有很大的关联,在不同的结构中间你会获得不同的朋友和获得不同的帮助。
  • 所以在结构之间你比较容易交换价值。

earthquakechildren Home - Save the Children - 0 views

  • The Chinese students and scholars associations at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia and at Oklahoma Christian University in Edmond, OK and the local Chinese communities here have just started a campaign to raise money to build a safe school for children in the Wenchuan area where the quake hit hardest (many children here are now orphans). We are calling for monetary donations. Let's show our love by building a school for the children.Our target is to raise US$50,000 or more through the effort of each of YOU! If everyone contributes $25.00, it will take 2,000 people to reach our target. We have started in various states in the United States and around the world to collect funds for such an effort. In each state there is going to be a group of coordinators (You can volunteer to be one) to manage the collection of the monetary donations

The Sichuan Quake and the Hubris of Twitter Users - 0 views

  • Well said. Very quickly the story turned to Twitter/Scoble/beating USGS by 3 min. I also did not like watching how TechMeme rewarded a lot of A-list tech blogs and aside from Global Voices Online was not able to identify other great sources of English content on the Earthquake such as Shanghaiist or Danwei. Another example of self-reflective narcissism at work. At least Jeremiah Owyang tried to use his bully pulpit of social media to ask people to have compassion and give to the Red Cross. Kudos to Jeremiah for that. Posted by Elliott Ng on May 13, 2008 at 1:36 pm

Bloggers unite to support China earthquake victims | BuzzParadise's blog // Blogger com... - 0 views

  • As a Chinese, I feel so heart-broken to see my compatriots suffering from the horrendous tragedy and deeply touched by the bravery and resolve of the Chinese people during the rescuing efforts. I wish I could be right there in the middle of it all, lifting concrete to find survivors. While what I can do is limited so far away from China, I just embedded this banner which has already connected almost 200,000 bloggers to pray for the victims in the disaster region on my blog.

程乐华博士:灾后心理重建仪式工作坊-心理学艺术化的仪式疏导模式 | 华老师灾后心理支持志愿者团队 - 0 views

  • 仪式的心理作用: 仪式不仅能满足个人对一个安定、可理解和可强行驾驭世界的认知和情感的需要,而且使人能够在面对自然界的不测时保持安全的心理状态。(马林诺夫斯基) 以毕生之实践钻研仪式的特纳认为,仪式表演是社会过程的重要组成部分,尤其是人们解决危机的重要方式。 以“仪式”为切入点的意义之所在: (1) 突破语言,特别是方言的限制,更有效地帮助人们重建心理。 (2) 言语的咨询一对一较能保证效果,而仪式则由于操作较简练,有助于提高效率,例如团体实施。 (3) 一般咨询过程中,会有咨询师的参与。而仪式中,能够做到只有主体一人的参与。因此后者可能让人更有隐私,更直接地面对自己,释放自己。 (4) 仪式是一种象征性的表达方式。斯宾诺莎指出,人的改变,除了理智,情感是必须的。而荣格说,愈接近原型的事物,唤起的情感愈强。原型不是一种语言,而是一种象征。仪式也正是如此。因此,仪式有潜力深入影响人,改变人。 (5) 有效的仪式不能脱离与当地文化的联系。这让心理疏导不仅仅是一种外来的援助,更有助于挖掘当地优秀文化传统的治愈力量。即,人们不是在被动地接受,而是在主动地发掘自身潜力、治愈和超越。 (6) 仪式具有文化意义。有效的仪式,体现了优秀传统文化的价值,有助于未来它们的传承和发展。
  • 由于受灾者个体的差异性(年龄、性别、信仰、职业等),我们相信没有哪一种仪式是完全符合总体的需求的,我们也相信有无数种仪式的可能,每一种仪式都有一定的辅助作用。于是,我们不把工作重点放在仪式的设计、举办。而是把重点放在工作思路的传授上,让“用仪式重建心理”的工作思路迅速传播出去,尽早帮助受灾者。

4 Reasons Amazon.com Will Rule the World - 0 views

  • The country's leading online retailer has been doing a lot of things right lately, and Goldman Sachs' James Mitchell thinks that the future will only get better for Amazon. He sees sales growing at an annualized clip of more than 20% over the next decade. The buy rating on Goldman's conviction list pegs a $98 price target on the stock.
  • 1. Retail's weakness is Amazon's gain
  • 2. Amazon is a triple threat in digital delivery
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • 3. Nobody knows their customers like Amazon
  • 4. Compounding magic is Amazon's friend
  • Let's put Mitchell's 20% clip in action. Net sales clocked in at $14.84 billion last year. If Amazon's top line grows at a 20% rate, we're talking about nearly $92 billion come 2017. And keep in mind that Mitchell sees that as the floor. If Amazon is able to grow at a 25% annualized rate, we would be looking at $138 billion in net sales in nine years.

Jayhan Loves Design & Japan » If You Are Able To Survive You Must Remember Th... - 0 views

  • This is not a design or Japan related post, but it is so sad and touching that I had to share it with my blog readers. I came across is tearing slide presentation at SlideShare, about a mother protecting her child in the recent earthquake disaster in Sichuan China. Unfortunately the mother was dead because of the hard objects hitting on her. But the rescuer found out that there is a baby under her child and quickly get him out. The child was fine, thanks to his mother. Then the rescuer found a hand phone near the baby and on the screen, it says “My dearest child, if you are able to survive you must remember that I Love You”. This is such a sad story. In the earthquake that struck last week, it already taken so many people’s life (40,000 and counting), and every life behind there is a family, and there is a story to tell. If there is no earthquake, maybe they are enjoying their life right now with friends and family. But the earthquake just ruined it all. I hope everyone can pray and hope for Sichuan so that everything will become OK. And my respect to all the rescuers and medics and many more unsung heroes who are restless and working hard to save more life.

The Charity Place: Social networks take word of mouth to a global level - 0 views

  • I’m still totally captivated by the enormous possibilities of social media to share ideas and information, and am inspired to post (yet again) on the subject of how people are using them to come together and do good – because I’ve been motivated to give in the last few days via Twitter.

    Just look at what Jeremiah Owyang has started through his blog and through his Twitter feed, which Oliver Ding then turned into this presentation on Slideshare...

  • I'm sorry to say that I had previously received an approach from two charities - one via Facebook and the other by email - but hadn't yet made a donation.  However, Jeremiah's Twitter message changed that. Charities, take note...
  • There are at least 30 people who have indicated they’ve given through Jeremiah’s updates on Twitter, and more – no doubt – who have given privately.

  • The images of the earthquake relief effort in China have been horrifying and deeply moving and remind me what has always been so compelling about my job - the ease and speed with which still pictures can impart so much readily understood information to so many people.
