昨天从Isaac和Xuer手中拿到了拍卖成功的中文网志年会T-Shirt，终于有时间细细地看一看了。看到这面密密麻麻的签名，一阵欢喜。

谢谢参与竞拍的朋友，能一起来参加这样一个公益性的活动。每个人都挺幸运的，有机会，应该将这份幸运分享给每一个人。当然，最重要的是，终于让我如愿以偿地拿到了这件T-Shirt。

Isaac说，建议Jack继续拍卖这件T恤，继续为公益事业募捐，这样可以连锁经营下去，直到Tshirt被人用手磨烂。很好的建议，我准备先保存一段时间，增值后再来拍卖。当然，所得款项还是会用于公益事业募捐。:D

附上一张T-Shirt的正面清晰照：

One of the best things about working at Google is a policy known as "20 percent time," which you can read about on our jobs page or in this post. Having the freedom to pursue projects during 20 percent of our work week means engineers can pursue a breadth of unique and interesting ideas without having to wait for anyone else.

So not too long ago, a few engineers from San Francisco, New York, and Zurich -- all of whom regularly use public transportation -- decided that being able to plan local trips without having to go to multiple websites, and done in an easy, intuitive way would be a useful product. So they devoted their 20 percent time to building it. As it happens, a lot of people thought this was a great idea, and our small team quickly grew with "twenty-percenters" from across Google.

Today, we are happy and proud to tell you that their efforts have resulted in a new Google Labs experiment: Google Transit Trip Planner. With it, commuters will be able to easily access public transit schedules, routes, and plan trips using their local public transportation options. This first release covers only the Portland, Oregon metro area, but we are working to expand our coverage very soon. (If you're from a local transit agency interested in being included in Google Transit, we would love to speak with you. Just write to us.)

We chose to launch with the Portland metro area for a couple of reasons. Tri-Met, Portland's transit authority, is a technological leader in public transportation. The team at Tri-Met is a group of tremendously passionate people dedicated to serving their community. And Tri-Met has a wealth of data readily available that they were eager to share with us for this project. This combination of great people and great data made Tri-Met the ideal partner.

Public transportation offers a unique type of data that people use in very different ways than most of the data Google has worked with before. We really want to understand how people use Google Transit and the challenges we'll face as we cover additional cities. To that end, we'd love to hear your feedback!

Maxim China has been "about to launch" for about three years. The company behind Maxim China is the SCMP Group, which publishes the South China Morning Post and is controlled by the Kwok family, one of the richest clans in Asia, who happpen to control all the prime real estate in Beijing's emerging CBD.

You might think that with such a background, it would be small beer to launch a little lad's magazine, especially since FHM paved the way more than a year and a half ago.

That is quite clearly not the case, as you can see from the pictured cover of the second issue of Maxim China, which does not contain any reference to the name 'Maxim' at all, except for the editor's email addresses: @maximonline.com.cn. It took them three years to launch this magazine, and they are not even allowed to mention its real name, probably because the state-owned company that controls the publication licence -- The Foreign Languages Press Distribution Department (!) -- cannot get permission to do it.

By comparison, FHM China does not have the FHM logo on its cover, but it does have 'For Him Magazine' underneath its Chinese name, and uses FHM throughout the magazine.

FHM has a good Chinese name -- 男人装 -- which means 'men's clothing' but sounds a little like 'men strong'. Maxim is cursed with an effeminate sounding 风度 -- which means 'demeanor' or 'bearing'.

As far as content goes, Maxim also has a lot of catching up to do: the girlie pics are not very sexy and there is not as much fun stuff to look at (cars, guns, gross stuff, jokes etc.) when compared to FHM.

So now FHM is no longer the only glossy magazine trying to prise 20 yuan away from young urban Chinese men. But there is nothing for them to fear just yet.

The popularity of web search has changed the way we think about the Internet in some pretty odd ways. I've heard more than a few people struggling to answer a question who turn to their keyboard and proclaim, "I'll just...
