Just a few days ago, Fr. Liu Maochun, a #catholic priest of Mindong diocese (Fujian - #China) has been kidnapped by members of the Religious Affairs Bureau who arrested and they took him to an unknown location for #communist indoctrination. Please, pray!

when the ipod first came out, i played with a friend's, and decided it was junk.
i was using an "archos", which was much much better at managing a large (more than 20 albums) music collection, and had tactile buttons that i could feel and operate from inside my pocket while i was biking.
when the ipod "won the market", i was like, "i guess they fixed those problems" and bought one. they had not fixed anything. and they never have!
an early lesson in "the most popular product is probably the worst" :)
