Whistling Lessons

Here are some lessons that may help you with your whistling. Thanks to Robert Stemmons for his help in putting these together.

How to do pucker whistling

1. Place your lips in the same position you would use to say "oooh."
2. Keep your lips gently in that shape.
3. Your tongue should curve gently in your mouth: the sides of the back of your tongue should touch the inside edges of your molars; the top of your tongue should almost touch the roof of your mouth; and the tip of your tongue should curve gently downward so that it is just behind and parallel (but not touching) with your top front teeth.
4. Blow gently, using your tongue to direct the air out through the hole in your lips. It may take time, but keep trying and you should hear a note before long.
5. Once you can produce a steady note, you can raise and lower the pitch by changing the position and shape of your tongue. By moving your tongue forward, you can make higher notes, and by moving it back, you can make lower notes. By moving your tongue low in your mouth and dropping your jaw so as to make the inside of your mouth as large as possible, you can make very low notes.

Make sure that your mouth is moist, but not too moist. You may want to use some lip balm, especially in the winter. Chapped lips are a hindrance to whistling.

It is important to be polite when you whistle. Don't do it when you believe it will disturb or distract someone. You should also never whistle around someone who is using a guide dog or riding a horse.

How to do vibrato

Vibrato is that lovely vibration that can add warmth and depth to a whistled note. However, use this technique carefully: if done too often or if the vibrato is too deep, it can sometimes make the whistling sound wobbly and uncertain.

1. Whistle either out or in.
2. As you blow gently, allow the front part of your tongue to move quickly up and down, almost as if it's shivering. The movement of your tongue will break up the airstream enough to cause your whistle to vibrate.
3. Adjust the vibration of your tongue to control the strength and depth of your vibrato.

How to do stacatto

Stacatto is a way of separating the whistled notes so they sound crisp and separate. Of course, never do this in someone's face!

1. Whistle out.
2. As you blow out, break up your whistle by touching the back of your top teeth with the tip of your tongue and then pulling the tongue away as if you were saying "tuh, tuh, tuh." The trick to this is to draw your tongue away from your teeth (almost as if your teeth are hot and you need to pull your tongue quickly away from it) rather than pushing it toward your teeth as you'd normally do when you make the letter "T".
3. Practice to smooth it out. Do scales and then songs such as the Sailor's Hornpipe.

How to whistle loudly using two fingers

I find the easiest two-fingered loud whistle to do is to use my index finger and thumb of my right hand. Here's how to do it:

1. Loosely touch the tip of your bent index finger to the tip of your thumb.
2. Rest the bottom of your joined fingers (if you're using your right hand, the thumb is to the right) on your lower teeth with the tips of your loosely joined fingers pushing against the bottom part of your tongue (which pushes back).
3. Your lips should be pressed down against your fingers. The joined fingers make the "V" into which you blow (you should blow slightly down).

It definitely makes a shrill sound that gets louder as you blow harder. Of course, this method works best if your nails are short.

在家中一台舊PC，只要裝什麼硬碟，什麼硬碟馬上就會壞軌，所以就不敢在那台PC放硬碟，就裝兩張ISA的網卡，然後用軟碟防火牆開機，兼作NAT。
那時是2004/8建置的，但都沒更新新的版本，現在新的floppyfw有好多的功能，也許該試一試。

How To Give A Great Presentation
http://www.to-done.com/2005/07/how-to-give-a-great-presentation/

同樣的標題的文章，也有好幾篇不同的，都是不錯的參考。
在簡報前要做好心理和生理上的準備：
講慢一些。
不要急…
積極正面的思考及想像…

準備好支援你所講內容的材料：
文字部份保持在最少。
檢查字型大小。
用圖片加強印象及觀點。
避免復雜的圖表。
檢查簡報的解析度。
簡化注解，來提醒要說什麼，而非逐字念注解。
比你所要講的準備得更多，但也能簡短。

開始簡報：
正面思考。
用講故事的方式。
不要念投影片。
自我簡介簡短有力。
保持緩慢及穩定。
不要說抱歉。
在提重要觀點前暫停一下。
適當時候微笑、玩笑、大笑。
從你的錯誤中學習。
有力的結束。
為可能的中斷及問題做好預備。

現改成：

現在CSS相關的資源連結太多了，這個是個還好的起點網頁，應該是有更新，因為自己以前是印2002/3/28的內容，跟現在網頁上看到的不大一樣。

Web pages aren't printed on paper

雖然這一篇是主要談有關CSS的方面，那時吸引我的是開頭前兩段論及媒體間的不同：收音機與電視的不同，印刷品與網頁的不同；從這邊的不同比較，來反省CSS可以達到的真正目的。
收音機必須詳細講出、描述出眼睛看不到的細節，而電視就不須要這樣；而在這新媒體轉換之際，總會習慣沿用前一個媒體的慣例來用在新媒體上，呆板到好像只有「圖片配上聲音」的方式呈現在電視上；當慢慢發現到新媒體的不同方式運用，就能走出這呆板的模式。

同樣的類比到紙本印刷及網頁，不是把印在紙上的東西全搬到網頁上就好，最大的不同在於「紙本是靜態的，網頁是動態的」，從這個觀點出發，才不會只是用舊媒體的使用習慣用在新媒體上。

文章的後部就詳述了網頁可以與印刷品的不同的相關細節。

自己留的書太多了些，簡直像是一池水，有進無出，也造成自己的累積卻停滯不進，今天借了一本「一定要會的閱讀管理法」中，開宗明義說：
最能好好看書的時機是丟書以前。
冰在書櫃的書，會拿出來重讀的不到百分之一。
…
上網路檢索，尋找持相反觀念的書籍閱讀。
…
不讀書的人小心成了無知的反對者。

自己有一些書，也有一些寄來的刊物，也越來越多印出來的網路上的資料或者是ebook，幾乎「累積」取代了「閱讀」，完全把讀書的目的變了調；書要有進有出，讓自己的book spool或者information spool是在流動的狀態，不是都捨不得，能是要真有捨才能真有得，累積並不能有所得，這些是要澄清、區別的觀念。而現在對「書」的範圍比以前大得多，或獲取的種類及量是更大得多；如果把個人在虛擬空間所獲取到的任何軟體、檔案，換算成實體上的價格，不少人是「虛擬上的大富翁」，而在實體上，能否把「虛擬上的財富」置換成「實體上的財富」，可能這樣的人才是真正的厲害。

「虛擬的財富」或說「虛擬的世界」可以讓人兩種的情形：實體上的限制，可以在虛擬的環境中累積出操作的經驗，進而演伸出可以到實體世界中發展；另一種狀況是，使人就停留在「虛擬環境中的滿足」而不走入實體環境，或者無助於實體環境的應對經驗或模式。

離題了，但我這「丟書記錄」為的是，盡量把我所存成的實體資料，能夠作一些「虛擬的記錄」也就是能夠自己真正生產一些「虛擬的財富」，如果算數的話，然後就可以把我那實體的書，清掉些，可以讓我的實體空間多出一些的空間，提高自己的生活環境的品質。

也許在這資訊如自來水般多的環境中，實體資料愈少，可能是表示不被資料給淹沒，生活品質可能也意味著比較好些；當然，這是指有意願閱讀的人，不好閱讀的人不在此例中！
