那天我给几个女儿看 Cross Country 这组照片,我家三儿当时 8 岁,问我为什么取名叫“无忌”。这两个字我用英文解释为“No Fear”。取这两个字为名是在几年前了,当时父母来看我,看到我在自己网页上写的几句话而警告我。当时具体写的什么现在已经忘了,只记得是抗议当时中国政府秘密拘留网上称“不锈钢老鼠”的北京学生刘荻。我能理解父母的心情。但是这种心情让我震撼,因为即使半个地球之外的另一个世界里,中国共产党的恐怖阴影仍然在他们的头脑里挥之不去。我祈望我的孩子们长大了不要有这种恐惧。这只能是一种祈望,但也是一个实实在在的希望。

 

另外,无忌跟无稽相去不远。Google翻译把“无稽”翻译成 Fantastic,我到觉得 full of crap 或许更合适一些 :-)

 

My little one also asked me about the little red devil I use as my buddy icon. I think it fits my name here. I like the red devil because it is the symbol of the BSD UNIX. Today, FreeBSD still uses it as its icon. I have mostly used Linux, which probably still contains a lot of code from BSD. I very much admire those pioneers of open source.

i have always been jealous about wuji. not because he could write microsoft windows program with borland-c when ms had just started to copy the windows concept from apple. it is his ability to take 'snapshots' as windows into our everyday life and make it ART without all these pre- or post editing- efforts. take any work from his photo stream, the composition, colour and lights are almost always perfect. i also admire his enormous passion about photography. with his precious camera on the way everyday (from/to work/home/on vacation), he keeps a sharp eye on our plain everyday life and presents the aspect of amazing beauty of our life. "storm afar" www.flickr.com/ph... is just one amazing example from tons of his stunning photographic works. enjoy!
