不過，撇開歌詞不談（據說這是AKB48第一首有政治訊息的歌），這首歌真的好聽，所以我亦終於收藏了第一首AKB歌。

六四被AKB48《目擊者》講中了，歌也被我收下了
前兩天爬高登時事台，找到這麼一段片。它將六四燭光晚會的片段剪接到AKB48的《目擊者》，並配上中日對照字幕。我看完這條片，再找回最初在 AKB48 team A 6th stage 公演時的片段對照，發覺它公演時雖然是配以柏林圍牆倒下的片段，但照搬去講六四竟然出奇地 match，太神奇了吧。
老實講，在此之前我是沒聽過任何AKB48的歌，只是知道有這麼一個組合，更不知道這組合原來多人到要分四隊還不止，將甚麼 Morning 娘、少女時代、甚至未分拆的 Cookies 等都通通比下去。這都是後來查維基才知道的。

New age group, new blog, new content outlet for me
In a few days, I will be 35.
In market research, age 35 is the start of the next older age bracket. I am about to exit the 25-34 group, supposedly the most sought after demographic when you need a survey done. Long story short, despite having been a long-time holdout of social media, blogs, tweets, wiki and the like, this is a big enough milestone to make having a 21st Century net presence worthwhile. So here it is - my first blog and blog post. (Yet, I still don't want to sign up with facebook.)
When it comes to posting stuff online, I had done it before. I started a site on Tonde Buurin back in 1996 or 1997, first on the web space provided the CS department, then GeoCities. Yes, I am that old. Unfortunately full time work stripped me of time to maintain it, and it fell into disrepair. Then Yahoo went downhill, taking GeoCities with it. I have a name for it, and a domain name to go with it, but the cheapskate in me decided to host it in my home, meaning uptime is a big question, and of course, no attempts to promote its new identity.
Here is where I'll put out new things - in English and Chinese, sometimes both - and bring in textual contents from Tonde Buurin Central as a backup, knowing this place should be around for a long time, I hope.
Well, that's all for now.
