虽然素食有益健康是不争的事实，但是一本书拿来反复说这个事情就有点过了。
Kampbell一直用数据来说话，但是统计学是个很tricky的东西，它可以把小差异放的很大，有些可能不会产生很大影响的差异也可以做成显著性差异。

虽然我支持素食主义，但并不是人人都适合素食的

Am I starting?

Just finished the book and exercises, although took only a glimpse at the last seven ones.

There is no doubt that it's a better introduction book than others. After I wrote down the first python program at 27th September, I spent a total of 20 hours on these exercises. I wouldn't get so many exercises from other introduction books, because Shaw kinda drove me around to type the code.
The best learning is to practice. No question. But for the most of time, we are to lazy to move our fingers.
It's a good book for python learner; it's a great book for some lazy python learner such as me.

Anyway, after doing dozens of exercises in such a short period time, I just get some feels and still needs more exercises coming. It is time to bring the hard stuff in.

practise more, read less

I have read this book from Febarary to September, and spent about 30~50 hours in total. I feel like I have read R-intro again. This book is more readable than R-intro, I think, and pay a lot of attention on the graphics. Of course, it is an easy way to start with this book. That is all.

A bipolar genius, a sensitive spirit

After I bought a kindle months ago, I've been reading some fictions at bedtime. Two months later, I found this biography which I had known for a while. So I stopped reading other books, such as Asimov's Foundation in Chinese (it is the third time I read), Darwin's Descent of Man (too bored to read at bedtime), and Uncle Tom's Cabinet (still in the beginning).
I think I admire Jobs somehow although I never admit. I like the simplicity in Apple products, but I also like open source software rather than the end-to-end packages. I like their design and functionality, but I don't like the fact that most Apple products are consumer electronics. And I feel the products are good to play with, but not worthy their prices. Anyway, I still think Jobs is a very special entrepreneur instead of a pure businessman.
I got known him better after reading his biography. I never knew that he was so emotional to cry before his colleagues, so bossy to insult people, and so shameless to claim other's idea as his. He was a human being with so many flaws. Yet he accomplished a lot and became an icon. That's something really fascinating.
It was the first non-scientific book written in English I've ever read. It took me about forty hours. I spent several minutes to one hour on it before I fell asleep. I had to say I enjoyed it.
