Yoshi is three years old today. It feels like a long time already but also so fast. Sometimes I forget that he is just a "baby" if you consider someone younger than three years old. In these three years he physically grew up to almost 100 cm tall, learned to speaks fluent Mandarin and some English and Taiwanese, can count to 29 (and then need to ask which "ten" comes next), and likes reading, singing and playing a lot of games he invented. He also like to help on houseworks. Happy birthday, son!

Stieg and Scanners
I finished reading "Girl with Dragon Ratio". In the book Stieg Larsson wrote the handsome jounalist brought a Microtek scanner with him when he came to the island, and he used an Agfa film scanner to scan films in his research. Back in 2001, compared to other gears he used such as an iBook, the two scanners were also a symbol of his taste and profession. I happened to be quite familiar with scanners, especially these two brands. Now Agfa is no longer selling scanners, and Microtek is almost not found anywhere. If Larsson is still alive, I wonder if he can still find someone to repair his scanners -- and it's just less then ten years ago when they were big names in the industry.
