台灣HP彩色噴墨多功能機的維修經驗－聯強
我在大約1.5年前買了一部HP多功能彩噴機，為了方便在家裡工作，型號是 HP Photosmart Premium C309a.
我很滿意這台多功能機，因為它所有功能都有，不佔位置，尤其是家裡電腦都轉Wifi了，所以透過Wifi列印掃描特別方便。
我都買原廠墨水，價格雖然貴，可是為了避免麻煩。且今年正好遇到Costco有打折，所以多買了一些來備用。
上週我搬家，小心的把我的筆電以及這台機器專車運送到新地點。整理完畢後，啓動它來印測試頁，但是一直跑出卡紙的訊息！且聽到齒輪的空轉聲音。我想說可能是齒輪鬆掉了，最好是拿去維修。
隔日下班後我就開車去聯強，送修時，接待人員態度良好，告訴我說這台已經過保，如果送修要換零件，不能單換零件，而只能付$5900換“良品”，所以不如使用他們的優惠換機方案。
我想說當初買這台也上萬了，最近又想到環保的因素，不太想要更換新機，而且齒輪鬆掉應該修的好，加上還有很多墨水不知道有沒有相容，就還是硬要送修。不過就服務人員的解釋，感覺已經不妙！
結果沒錯！接到維修人員的電話，說是“清潔組”壞了，不能排除，只能要求我接受$5900換良品，但是只有3個月的保固！我因著強烈感受到維修人員也在推銷換新機器，所以我選擇了退回，付$300的維修費用，心中還抱著一絲希望，想拜託公司的IT幫我看看！
取件時候，聯強的服務人員沒有跟我收$300，說讓我考慮一下是否要換新機。
回到家後，研究了換機方案，發現有可共用墨水，解決一部份的問題，但是接下來比較，換機的選擇都沒有FAX，且掃描解析度很低。越想越不開心，因為我這台多功能機真的很好用。想把這台拆了來看看到底哪裡有問題。
我很詳細的檢查了所有的進紙出紙部位齒輪，並依照HP在YOUTUBE上面的建議，用手電筒照，結果居然發現有個異物卡住了後方齒輪
我想，我很慶幸沒有直接換機，並且比專業的維修員厲害，把我的愛機修好，可以繼續使用它。
我也想要藉這個分享告訴大家，以後選購任何3C產品時候要注意它們的保固條件，以及維修廠商到底是有在維修，還是只是另一個推銷新產品的方法。

這部影片讓我瞭解因為3C產品的高更換率所造成：
製程的高環保成本
廢棄物問題
藉著不良的設計而需要常常換新
廠商藉此斂財

用鑷子夾出來，就好了！

這個時代，講究男女平等。
5歲女孩即認為工作比結婚重要
這個時代，講究男女平等。
所以若是男人說女人應該要在家裡帶小孩，肯定會被貼上“大男人主義“的標籤，受人唾棄。
當人問我太太有沒有上班，我說：“沒有，在家裡帶小孩”的時候，好像是我不讓她上班一樣。
遇到自願想要帶小孩的母親，人人都豎起大拇指說“好偉大阿”，“比上班還辛苦阿”，“很犧牲自己阿”這些字眼不斷的灌輸給母親，似乎人人都很欽佩。
實際上呢？
因為在台北，除了經濟壓力之外所以夫妻均不得不工作的雙薪家庭外，許多現代女性是為了個人成就＆避免做“家庭主婦”而去工作。
因為上班的人可以打扮時髦漂亮，用的是最新的iphone，跟的上時代，知道社會在夯什麼，什麼很俗。
而家庭主婦，則是沒有賺錢，呆在家中，不知天下大事的女人，做的是老師以及外勞的工作。
我幫我太太加入有安親班的高級私人俱樂部，希望她能享受一下自己的生活，游泳，瑜珈，認識一些其他朋友，但是她不放心安親班的保姆；我說妳想要恢復懷孕前的身材，花多少錢都可以，她卻會擔心用保養品會影響到母奶的品質。這是無可比擬的偉大母愛所作出的犧牲，但是換來的是她強烈認為自己變成“黃臉婆”，我認為，這是女人間的戰爭！
現代女性，普遍認為待在家裡不是時髦的作風，需要有工作，家裡又有兼顧，才是女強人。天阿，這是什麼觀念？這不是要累死女人？
男人呢，我們可以不工作在家裡帶小孩嗎？答案是否定的，因為“男女平等”僅是一個女權主義的辭彙武器，凡是人，都要工作，且社會不會接受男人在家工作的，因為社會連全職媽媽都認為是異類了，何況是全職父親呢？
凡是人，都要工作，可是大部份女性又不覺得全職家庭主婦是工作，因為沒有賺錢，連健保勞保都沒有 ..... 社會也不接受男人做全職家庭主夫。所以怎辦呢？我們只好把家庭中最重要的核心工作，交給補習班老師，安親班老師，以及外勞來處理。
所以在外工作的爸爸與在家工作的媽媽，常常會被扭曲的社會現象而受到挑戰。挑戰的結果是什麼呢？就是以下幾點：
- 全職媽媽認為爸爸的工作沒有她辛苦（這個其實我也無法否認）
- 全職媽媽認為她為了小孩＆家庭，犧牲了她的青春，讓她加速變成老太婆
- 常常吵架，媽媽認為已經過度的犧牲，爸爸回家應該就努力做家事，照顧小孩，反不知如果爸爸工作上的壓力過大，回到家想要取得媽媽安慰的時候，媽媽一看到這樣就超級反感，因為感覺好像有要多帶一個小孩
- 媽媽會疑心病加重，擔心老公在工作場合會遇到比自己誘人的女人
結論：
現今社會價值扭曲，“家庭”其實是聚少離多，加上資本主義帶來的奢華消費觀念，讓人對於物質的享受高於精神＆家庭的享受，更還有資訊傳播的洗腦效應，再走下去，恐怕這種價值觀無法讓我們再進步。
該是回歸人類的基本價值，建立正確的“個人”＆“家庭”價值觀，重新來過。

Planting Tree Analysis
Today I hear this interesting figure:
US7000/acre for 4 yrs to grow the trees &
US2400/acre a yr from 5-25 year ...
that's good money to make ...
This paper company has changed itself 10 years ago to move to value-added paper, to move away from pricing cutting paper & move into high value paper with converting. This is smart, and we should do exactly the same.

Amazon Kindle
My CNY gift to myself is a Kindle 3G 6". It is difficult to not buy one to try out as it seems so much threatening the printed books.
It grabbed my instant attention, it's so Light, so small, I can hold it in one hand, and the e-ink reads like a real book.
Upon using Kindle, It has some amazing feature that really made the difference:
1. A pair of nice speakers which can also play MP3.
2. I can listen to the books - it reads the text.
3. "FREE" 3G in Taiwan with ability to push contents to my Kindle.
5. All my quotes and highlights in the Kindle are sync with a Kindle Blog for me, I can print them out to share
So, it is not a printed book, but it gives many added value for me to "think of" buying printed or Kindle version of a book I want to buy.
When comparing iPad and Kindle, I'd say forget about reading on iPad, Kindle is more worthy of the additional "e" for "books".

Invisalign, the new way for teeth adjustment
This is the third week wearing invisalign -- An alternative teeth aligner to dental braces. It is made of plastic, removable when eating or drinking beverages other than water, and I change a new one every 2 weeks.
I am one of the first patients to receive this treatment by my dentist clinic. I must say I felt very blessed to seek for treatment at the right time. I need to talk face-to-face a lot with my colleagues and customers, it must be very uncomfortable and too noticeable with traditional braces.
I must say that it is great! It is not only no one can notice, but being able to remove for eating helps me to:
1. drink less coffee
2. eat only 3 meals (Oops ..)
3. clean my teeth much more often
I recommend to all considering wearing braces, try invisalign instead, it is more expensive than traditional braces, but I think it is worth it.
BTW, the treatment lasts 10 months only for me, I think it'd be 6 months longer with traditional braces.
