What is really a deadline ?
In the words of a design student, Bang-yao Liu, of Savannah College of Art and Design …
Every time when I am busy, I feel that I am not fighting with my works, I am fighting with those post-it notes and deadline.
So he made a brilliant video about deadline with, believe it or not … 6,000+ Post-it notes. Enjoy !!
Curious about how he made this video ? Check it out.
“Always on my mind” is one of my favorite songs, no matter it’s the original version by Brenda Lee or the cover versions by Elvis Presley, Willie Nelson, Pet Shop Boys and the latest by Michael Buble. But yesterday I found another cover version in a Hong Kong movie shot 15 years ago, and I love this version the most.
So I asked myself where I can find this version on the web … Youtube.com – No, YouKu.com – No, Todou.com – No … but I finally found it thru some searches.

Another case of Long Tail theory, I suppose …
Believe it or not, the singer is Peter Chan, the famous Hong Kong film director. Enjoy the song, i.e. the first two minutes of the following video. By the way, the subtitles do not sync with the song …

I always thought (stupid me) it is difficult to play YouTube videos on my smartphone as I don’t want to download the Flash plug in (like TinyTube or TCPMP plug-in) to play the non-standard flv format. Furthermore, I don’t want to manually download / transfer the videos to the smartphone to play – just too cumbersome !!
Not until today I know YouTube actually released the mobile version last June … Stupid me again !! Just surf to m.youtube.com from your IE mobile will do !! Some screen shots:

One warning though, one must remember that streaming video costs a lot of money if you don’t have unlimited data plan for your phone or an unlimited Wi-Fi connection.
