老哥：

希望那張合成是可以過關的
後來自己看了看
好像很怪耶～不及格

倒是很想念侑正的聲音、淳鈞的球技
明天我救回高雄了！總算可以好好聚聚！
還有聖愛是11月16日生日～
我也會順便回去看看他，吃吃飯！
更一定會空出時間打球！


量身高體重時真的嚇到.......大概是飲食太不正常
週一到週三放學4：40....整理一下後便於5：00出發前往台東讀書
抵達台東已約6：15也沒時間吃飯，即刻就聽課了！
往往是草草在車上吃麵包，或是利用教授來之前吃個餅乾
固得證...........我竟然只剩55公斤
我也快昏倒～打球時我一定會被撞飛的..........

我是澤邦啦！哥哥不好意思，最近又被鼓山國小操，所以沒啥空往上跑。真抱歉!搞定了他們的照片展大型海報的設計，交件了等他們輸出，真爽，第一次被人家把做絣輸出很大，六呎十三呎，共六張。只是太大了。家裡的電腦沒辦法轉成jpg，一直當，所以我放棄。等掛出來我在去拍給你看。
但原以為沒事了，但現在又要被拜託編校刊，算了當磨練吧！以前我老師說你愈不想做的是愈容易會碰上，本來只想好好搞傳統創作的，NOW竟要每天在電腦前面和螢幕談情說愛，真是被自己打敗了。暈倒！我愛平面設計~拜託你暫時別來煩我。一槍打死自己算了。阿！瘋掉了，開始語無倫次。叭餔。

粘仔，侑正打電話給你
告訴你這個任務的唷，
然後一上站，又聽到鈞的"我把你的電話??"...歌聲，
出現在眼前的又是你有效率又貼心的作品。
我心裡很 爽。

真的一轉眼就15年了
我們當年，就像這樣，一張堅固團結相互信賴的網，
這網，越老越堅固，越老越年輕。

對了，這兩張，粘仔，都perfect!
謝啦。

To those Japanese friends:

Hi I am Mike saying hello to you.
Thank you for your visiting. I will try hard to link you to my best friends in TW.
Maybe one day there will be an international tour group visiting JP and you then must be the great tourguides.

Thank you again and I am so proud of having friends like you and also proud of having those amazing Taiwanese old friends. You guys, are really my my my wealth, much greater than billions of dollars. (But...I don't mind having both. ^^)

The left boy is Yoshi, the guy who always got a little bit better scores than me. He is quite humble and frequently smiles. He had already got a master of Law. His English improve drastically, which means I suffered from his English in summer... He looks young but indeed he is not... However, why he looks young comes from his positive attitude to challenge. haha...I will keep challenging him academically. Are you ready, Yoshi?
The beautiful girl aside is his wife, Ryoko. She is the most tender girl I have ever seen. She is polite to everyone and speaks lightly. Judy should learn some from her I think.

The right boy is Haruto. Some said we look alike but I think I am a little more handsome than him..^^ haha...We knew each other by a borrowing a internet cable. He is, in contrast to Ryoko, the most gentle man I have ever seen. Judy said I have to learn some from him. haha...He is very smart and comes from Tokyo University. Wo.... Her wife's name is Miwa, a very very very active girl. It is heard she occupys entire bed getting rid of his husband. However, I know she is considerate and very helpful to Haruto. Haruto sometimes said he envys me...but indeed her wife, as a lawyer, must be quite reliable while meeting challenge. I also envy you!

Guys try to reply this message if you visit the blog. It is not hard to write one or to lines to say hello to TW friends. Just click below 意見. Looking forward to you guys and have a great preparation for final exams.

We are so lucky to share the same world.
Sincerely
Mike

這樣俏皮好嗎？

僑頡，請幫我一個小忙吧！
來點偷天換日...
下列圖片，是我邀請兩對日本夫妻來我家用餐"前"的照片，
但是我忘了照張合照...
所以我想用另一個場合的照片，把他們和我們合成在第一張背景之下。

第一張是大背景，
第二張幫我去掉黑色部分和鴿子，留圖貼在第一張上方
第三張是簽名，幫我放在右下角。
第四和第六張，都是要"左二"兩人。
幫我把他們和我們擺在背景下面。
不用強調自然，只要"大家再一起"就好了。
PS: 點選照片 會出現高解析度圖片喔

請多多指教嚕。另外，這兩對夫妻就是澤民在日本友誼的灘頭堡。
當然他們都知道各位，也看過大家的照片或故事啦，還英文版的。

謝謝啦，請勿作超過20分鐘的設計唷。

隔壁的書店，竟然還是沒書（可惡的生意人，常說話不算話），其他SIPA（國際公共事務所）指定的書也沒有，老公急著要書，於是到Columbia University Bookstore（哥大書局）再找找，耶，有找到兩本指定參考書，真幸運，都有used books（因為一下課，就可以看到一票人湧向書局搶書，排隊付錢也是大排長龍），還看到多一版的Statistics with Stata，也是二手的，於是，很不好意思的跟書局退預定的全新書(書貴到一本美金二、三百～也就是台幣六、七千)。

雖是used，可是省了25%，像全新的，真不知書的上一個主人怎麼保養的？肯定早就預備要賣書，不像老公的書，肯定賣不出去，整本書紅紅黃黃藍藍，旁邊還有筆記、批評、預測、和讚美，不過話又說回來，是寶典。

今天GE 執行長Jeff Immelt 到學校演講
過程是同步轉播至數個學校

我和朋友們一進入演講廳 才知道要穿西裝
我們一群沒人穿西裝 我只套了毛衣
一群人就往前排衝

在前排尋到座位
位在我前一排的位置 有Jeff Immelt的名牌
我才知道 為什麼這一排沒有人坐
應是給 公司其他幹部的座位

當Jeff Immelt到位子 坐下
大陸朋友 菲 馬上就屈著身子到Jeff的面前 與他討論 GE innovation 議題
(先前 她 跟 教授 在這一方面上有不同看法,當時在課堂上有過爭論)
我發現 約有上千雙眼睛 直視我們這群 穿便服的朋友們

Jeff 沒有時間回答問題 就上台演講 他由演講的內容 間接回答她的問題 並 眼神關注一下
菲 原來她的衝 可以這麼衝

在康大讀書
很多同學 都有令人印象深刻的性格

衝勁 非她莫屬

最近過的好嗎？
哈
有好消息要記得分享ㄟ
之後有MAIL寄到我的GMAIL信箱吧

還有
我也不懂這BLOG是降用嗎？？？？

你喜歡等待嗎?
當時間在等待中逐漸流逝..
你在想些什麼?


一天回家的路上
我停著等待下一個綠燈
突然浮現一種想法~~

等待
是多數人不喜歡的事
因為那表示自己處在一個被動的情境中
任時間流逝卻莫可奈何
然而
等待
也正是構成社會秩序的要素之ㄧ
因為我願意等待
所以另一個路口的車輛可以安心穿越
安全抵達他的目的地
因為等待
所以在同一時間
你與你身邊的人必須停下腳步
或而抬頭看天
或而閉眼感受氣氛
或而聽聽周圍的聲音
體驗社會的另一層面

如果我們的等待
為他人帶來幸福與安心
那麼這一點小小的犧牲(也許是一種享受)
卻又顯得偉大起來

Action Memorandum
From: Tse-Ming Chang, (Mike tc2324)
To: Taiwan Prime Minister
Subject: The e-government policy and implement
Date: 2007, Nov. 10th

Recommended Actions

Taiwan’s government confronted the challenge of how to improve online citizen access to government services and the challenge of departments and local governments’ reluctance in collaboration. According to New Zealand’s experience, I recommend our government should set up a specific IC central agency with a board structure to push and monitor the e-government implement. This board initiation can balance and represent the interests of each ministry, satisfy the need of citizens for convenience, and reduce government’s budget.

Issues

Today, thanks to internet technology boom, cost of digital information from internet drastically decreases and citizens are more and more familiar with obtaining their necessaries through internet services. Taiwan government notices that and manages to provide a platform for different departments to communicate, and an access for citizens to approach government’s policies as well as services. Though government has overcome technological problems, it still faces the challenge of departments’ and local governments’ reluctance in collaboration since political environment favors decentralization and independence after former president Lee administration. However, as one industry executive Steve Griffin pointed out, trying to push through digital-era changes while retaining a highly fragmented government structure is unlikely to work. Thus, I strongly suggest government set up a central agency with a board structure to push e-government activities and monitor its efficiency. This central agency can reduce the cost of communication and asymmetric information among departments and effectively provide “carrots and sticks” to facilitate its policy.
With respect to e-government approach, research had identified four possible implementation options. They are “lead agency”, “joint venture structure”, “club or board structure”, and “user or intermediary.” In the first option departments receive direct funding to initiate their e-projects. It is effective but rigid, and prone to corruption. The second and the third options are similar with a little difference of having a board. I recommend the board structure because it can represent multi-interests and place responsibility, harmonized by full discussion among board members who are usually chiefs in respective departments. The final option involves delegation of responsibility for carrying out e-policy in respective department. It retains the decentralization spirit but bears the possibility of delay and unaccountability.
After the government sets up a central agency, it is crucial for its better efficiency to encourage a coordinated e-government effort. The key is to distinguish incentives and disincentives and ensure the former outweighed the latter. Incentives include board structure, direct funding, fair game rules, merit reward, and reappointment of chiefs. Incentives are reluctance to change, fear of losing power, familiarity with decentralization and uncertainty of hierarchy. In New Zealand’s case, its agency used direct funding and reappointment as their incentive. In addition, our central agency can advertise the e-government policy to the public and have a survey to demonstrate the need of e-government in order to urge departments and local governments. To reduce the disincentive, the e-government director Laurence Millar had pointed out a significant “sow-harvest” problem—one pays for sowing when everyone benefits from harvesting. Therefore, a fair rule and distinguishing merit reward are critical. I suggest the saved budget in the first fiscal year remains in that department and the officials receive rewards in proportion to the department’s efficiency and performance ranking, held by the third party or the public.
As to e-government’s policies, whether public sector introduces approaches from private sector is a hot issue. From New Zealand’s case, we saw pros and cons. The most obvious pros are decentralization, competitiveness and transparency. Traditional regime emphasizes centralized power to govern; in modern society, however, increasingly diverse affairs need to be achieved through different kinds of expertise and measures, which centralized power cannot response quickly and professionally. Therefore, “specialization” first appearing in private sector started to prevail over public sector in the 20th century. Rules of “Survival of the fittest” introduced from private sector also triggered desire for competitiveness among governments. Furthermore, decentralized power makes power of each department supervised by others and requests information flow among them. They all help promote government’s transparency. On the other hand, a decentralized government is easily subject to implementation stagnation if it faces interest conflicts among departments. Decentralized management also bears cost of asymmetric information and inefficient communication.

Options

In addition to a central agency with board structure, I recommend the central lead agency. We take advantage of high effectiveness of centralized management while risking disagreement over low representativeness and unfair interest distribution. The second option that had been proposed in Taiwan in1997 is the outsourcing approach. Similar to public relations area outsourced to PR companies, our government can outsource this e-business to private IC companies. The role of government is to provide direction and encouraging environment for companies and supervise whole processes. It stirs less but complicates accountability.

Implementation

First, we introduce a bill to set up a central agency with a board and a regular budget while simultaneously broadcasting the public desire for a joined-up e-service among governments to facilitate the Congress processes. The board members should be decided as soon as possible and hold meetings to reconcile individual interests. This agency can employ ICT experts or companies as consultants and outsource relevant tasks to them. In the medium range (the first fiscal year), this agency applies the e-policy to the central (Federal) government and take it as a trial since the central government can respond quickly if meeting problems. In the long range after the analysis of central government’s costs and effects, this agency can implement the e-policy in local governments. This agency should also keep an eye on maintaining and updating the e-government system based on the public’s feedback.

時間: 2007年7月25日星期三　　　　
天氣：晴朗
地點：Alfred Lerner Hall（哥大學生活動中心）
事件：Stamp Vending Machine 販郵機吃錢事件
人物：老婆、Mr. Devido、電話lady太太、幕後指導：老公
臨時演員：警衛先生

原來販賣機的郵票是”收集”用的，上面標價41～是41美元不是41分，害我後悔投了20元，又沒有退錢鈕可以按，錢…被吃掉了。

打了維修電話，直接進入語音信箱，語音說了一堆，也不曉得說的哪一國話(是英語啦，一著急，完全不知道它講什麼東東，雖然平常也不見得全聽的懂)，進入留言信箱，我ㄓㄓㄨㄨ的留下姓名、電話、原因，沒什麼把握，在販賣機旁晃了好一會，問Lerner Hall大廳（學生活動中心）櫃檯的警衛先生，一點也不想幫忙的樣子（真沒同情心）。

趕快回家，上USPS（美國郵局）網站，找有沒有補救方法，還是留message，沒有”真人”可以直接投訴。一整個早上，就這樣，心情不安，真是自找的。

老公早就說，郵局在隔壁，直接跟櫃檯買郵票，投信箱不就得了…。我怎麼那麼多事，幹嘛跟販賣機買呀！

晚上，有人打電話來說，等他拿到被吃掉的20元再跟我連絡（心想…也不知道是什麼時候？）隔天早上，另外有個Mr. Devido打電話來，跟我約在Columbia University…（注意這點點點～正是我沒聽清楚也沒再問清楚的準確地點）見面，只要問櫃檯找他就行了，我也不以為意，就在學校販賣機旁晃來晃去。

回撥電話找他，才發現時間還沒10:00am，只好又去找不近人情～警衛櫃台先生，他說他也不知道Mr. Devido是何許人物，到了10:15，忍不住又打了電話，才知道是在Columbia University的”郵局”等(不是在哥大的販賣機旁等)。

也才知道每台販賣機有所屬的郵局，而這一台吃錢販賣機剛好不是附近的哥大郵局所負責，聽電話的那位lady太太大概解釋的快瘋了吧，講了N次，我還是聽不懂，我只好問說What should I do now? 最後，她只好說，他得call 回在別處等我的Mr. Devido，再請負責那台販賣機的的單位跟我聯絡…只好很開心的說謝謝了。不過這位lady太太可真是解釋了很多次同樣的事還沒掛我電話，真是感謝了。

只好悻悻然的離開Lerner Hall了，櫃台先生一定覺得我是怪怪小姐。於是，踏上回家歸途，電話這時響了，Mr. Devido打來的，我連忙道歉，讓他白做工(雖然我也是白等工)，不過，他竟然問我在哪?要去找我，還問我要錢還是郵票(當然是拿回錢了，不好意思說自己誤會，看錯價錢，更不是要收集郵票)，於是我又折返，我真是像極了怪老頭…又出現在Lerner Hall咖啡廳前的販賣機旁。

不久，Mr. Devido出現了，還告訴我來的路上在整修，所以繞路遲到了，給了我裝20元的郵局信封，告訴我他先替負責這台機器的某某郵局的某某先生墊錢，還安慰我說，至少錢拿回來了。我心想，Mr. Devido真是個好人。

心情真是好多了，真是自找苦吃…到超市買完東西後，又看到Mr. Devido，他也親切的跟我打了招呼，他說他就在附近郵局上班～就不就是我家隔壁的郵局。怎麼繞了一大圈，忙了兩個早上，哎呀呀…還是得走到隔壁的郵局買郵票，心想還是找那位說著日式英語的小姐，雖然聽不是很懂，至少她很有耐心，她也很認真的解釋有哪幾種郵寄方式，要怎麼用舌頭黏信封，用膠帶多封一層，要把信封投到哪裡，終於把這封信寄出去了。

老公說：又繞回原點了…嘻嘻！

耶，老公的第三箱包裹到了（一共有四大箱）～原來包裹沒有坐同一輛飛機來…，害我們瞎操心，以為走丟了ㄋ。
