JaniMichael Jackson, King of Pop, is gone. What is going on in your mind after you heard the news?
Shocked and sad. The world lost one of the best entertainers of all time.
I don't know what to think, I was looking forward to his comeback!
It doesn't matter to me.
I don't believe this is true... just like Elvis, the king will return!

Me
Welcome! I'm Jani, one of the founders of XIHA Life. I'm originally from Finland, but over the past ten years I've lived on three different continents so I guess I'm kind of a globe trotter or world citizen...

Currently I live in Switzerland with my wife Wen and our lovely baby boy Fei.

When I'm not working on XIHA, I like to go out shooting photos. I'm armed with Canon 5D mark II and Leica M8 (which I don't use nearly as much as I should).

Prior to starting XIHA Life, I was a professional game programmer for over 15 years. I used to live in the US and work for EA and the legendary Westwood Studios in Las Vegas.

Check my blog and photo albums to learn more about me, my family and XIHA (or just follow me in Twitter!)

Fei 1.5 years!Fei 1.5 years!Fei 1.5 years!2009-06-21 - [photo:127693] Fei, today you're one and half years old! That's a major achievement, you're really becoming a toddler now and leaving the baby days behind. Today the weather was far from perfect which destroyed most of the plans we had for the day. We thought of taking a ferry from Rapperswil to Zürich, eating in some nice restaurant and finding a beautiful spot to give you a gift! Instead we ended up getting wet in the rain, eating in McDonal...

Red Herring 100 Europe ConferenceRed Herring 100 Europe ConferenceRed Herring 100 Europe Conference2009-04-10 - [photo:112046;small;right] I attended the 2009 edition of Red Herring 100 conference in Berlin last week (March 31th to April 2nd). This conference report is a little delayed. Right when I returned from the trip, our family relocated from Zürich to Rapperswil, half an hour away on the coast of Zürichsee, and I've been without internet access ever since. For the entire week I've managed the business by sitting at Starbucks and using their wlan,...

Giovanni Allevi piano concert in ZürichGiovanni Allevi piano concert in ZürichGiovanni Allevi piano concert in Zürich2009-03-16 - It was a sunny day last Saturday so we decided to go for a little walk in the beautiful Zürich old town. Wen wants to buy a piano so we stopped at Musik Hug to take a look at their selection of both electronic and traditional pianos. [photo:106511] At the entrance there was a sign - it was in German but I was able to make enough of it to read that popular Italian pianist Giovanni Allevi would be performing live in Musik Hug just half hour la...

TechCrunch
July 1, 2009 - the day the music wars started in earnest. Last night the guys from Dovecote Records, a small music label based in New York, were hanging out at their local bar. Employees from file sharing startup LimeWire showed up to have a party. There was confusion over the ownership of some pizza, and a riot almost ensued.

From the Dovecote Blog:

Woman: “Who the FUCK are you?  And why are you eating our pizza?”

  Kosuke and Paul look confused.

Kosuke: Are you joking?  Is this a joke?

Woman:  No this is definitely NOT a joke.  I want to know who you are and why you’re eating our pizza.



You may have noticed that Twitter has started hyperlinking hashtags. Those are words preceded by a "#" which denote what the Tweet is about and makes it easier to search for Tweets about specific topics and events.  For instance, try searching for #realtimecrunchup.  Now that they are hyperlinked, when you click on a hashtag, you are led to the search result page for the specific hashtag. Others have been implementing this; FriendFeed (big surprise) has been doing this for awhile. Some of the Twitter clients, including the desktop versions of Tweetie and Seesmic Desktop also provide hyperlinks to hashtags.

For Twitter, search is a navigation tool, and this functionality is yet one more way to allow people to easily discover new Tweets outside their group of followers. This trend started when they added the search box to everyone's home page last April.
Yesterday, we wrote about what Facebook was planning for the next major release of its iPhone app, version 3.0. The big update will contain 15 new features, probably none bigger than the addition of event management to the app, finally. But there was one thing Facebook developer Joe Hewitt didn't mention yesterday, and it's a big one: Video uploads from the iPhone 3GS.

Hewitt just started working on the feature yesterday, thinking it would be something that would come in the next release, after this one. But he was surprised at how quickly he was able to get it up and running and so he tweeted out today, "3GS video uploading for the Facebook iPhone app is a go -- didn't plan to include it in the 3.0 update, but it was really easy to code."

你好.
我是一个今年19岁的男孩.
之前在一次无意中发现了你们的网站..
认识了"飞",我被他的可爱吸引.
觉得你们的家庭好幸福,好温馨喔.
我也觉得你好厉害,好有本事.
好想长大以后也能像你一样有本事。
但是,最近我很烦..
还有20多天我们就要高考了..
高考.你认识吗?
那是我们要上大学的考试.
我的学习成绩不怎么好.
家里的生活条件也并不富裕.
高考后,我也不知道该怎么办.
对于自己的未来,我很迷惘.
你能给我点建议吗?
或是能我介绍一下,向哪一方面发展会比较有前途.
我知道你应该会很忙..
但我希望你能从百忙之中抽出点时间来给我一点建议..
衷心感谢你..
打扰了..
