Today I finally bought a kindle DX on ebay, after struggling so many days. Of course, I bought from the seller who asks for the cheapest price, but when I paid for it, I found I was charged 28 dallors for tax. I was quite surprised. I did read the discription carefully, which doesn’t mention the tax. I checked the location of the item, not in michigan. Why do I need to pay the tax? Finally, on the shipping and payment page, I found an anouncement about the “sale tax”, which says “Seller charges sales tax in multiple states”. Click on it, a table shows up and one can see people in michigan is charged 6% of the price for tax. I didn’t notice it, didn’t even have the idea to check it when I placed the order. My heart was broken! =_=! But the seller did ask for a cheap price. Even with the tax, I just paided 10 dollars more than the cheapest one available on ebay and 40 dollars cheaper than the Amazon official price (50 dollars cheaper if counted on the ebay bucks I earned). So this is still not a bad deal. But if I noticed that, I can save 10 more bucks. Take this lesson, my buddies.
是在搜索什么来着？无意间搜到这个博客。好眼熟！这不是我自己的博客吗！？我早把它忘在脑后了。没想到博客还在，而且我居然还能登陆，还是浏览器自动登陆的！这个就是长尾效应的一个例子吧。 大略的浏览一下，有一种既熟悉又疏离的感觉。原来我曾经有过这样的心情，写过这样的事情，做过这样的菜。一转眼怎么这么多年过去了呢？这么多年间什么都没有再写过，都在忙些什么呢？生活已经大变了，心境也大变了。这个博客，就好像从那几年中抽出的几个片段，做成了标本放在架子上展览。看自己从前的博客，是不是就像传说中人死之前看走马灯一样的感觉呢？ 前一阵子看了一个日本电视的SP。有个故事讲的是一个做电影妹子死于事故之后成为了走马灯的编辑，专门把每个人一生的记录编成走马灯，给死去后即将成佛的人观看。写博客记录自己的生活片段好像也类似呢。所不同的是，写博客本身也是这生活的一部分，也可以成为走马灯的一面罢了。 以后会不会接着写呢？一开始我是这么希望的。看到这个博客还这么孤单的挂在网上，没有更新，也没有人看。觉得挺可怜的。好像我欠了一个人情似的。像这样随便写几句，偶然留下几个指抓的印记，也不错吧。然而，毕竟很多事情都变了，也没有从前那么多时间了。再怎么样，写博客也不会成为很优先的事务的。顺其自然吧。
