Leather DIY --- A Leather Cover for iPod Classic

I spent around 1 hr for this cover.
those locations and sizes of holes are not precise enough.... :)
I just wanna do something at the moment... and wanna finish it as soon as possible ~
so it what it is ^~^

這是年假某天完成的 iPod Classic 保護套~
之前買的那個假皮的保護套其表面已經碎裂好一陣子了.
剛好趁年假的某天, 撿些用剩的碎皮, 極迅速的完成這套子~

當時只想儘快完成它 ^^:
所以那些孔沒開得很精準，但完全不影響使用的啦~~~~

LeatherCraft --- Skiving // 皮革削薄

一直想找個工具來應付用偶爾玩皮時需要的削薄工作~

這一種像水果削皮刀的式樣, 我試過一次, 對我來說, 不大順手 = ="

這種的, 目前還沒機會試用; 但看了 youtube 的 demo clips...

感覺應該和上面那種差不多~

於是.... 想到了木工用的鉋刀!!!!! :))))

(皮革削薄介紹)

google 了一下, 還真的有人在賣皮革專用的鉋刀!

露天拍賣(link):

因為它是鉋刀 XDDD 所以蠻吸引我的!

但, 我用過一把日本高速鋼鋸板磨成的接木小刀來切皮革 & 削薄,

感覺那鋒利度似乎沒有很持久 冏~ (可能是我磨刀的問題也說不定)

所以上面這支由 "優質高速工具鋼"做成刀刃, 有點讓我沒信心 ^^a

然後....

<台中大司細木工>

TrtansPost --- Climate Action

Would you throw garbage on the table you eat on?

 So why do people forget where their food comes from?

Share if you know where you come from.

Original Post --> [Facebook]

I absolutely agree with  that~ :))

As I know, landfill operation and trash incinerator are two major methods to 

dispose what we toss out, in my country.

For landfill operation, leachate is the major problem to deal with;

for combustion, problems are ash and suspended particle.

Obviously, there are no perfect solutions for deposing of garbage.

What can we do are to treasure everything we have and do not waste anything....

hm... like do not use disposable tableware, don't buy/cook exceedingly what you can eat, ...

and when you taking a napkin or facial tissue... think again... do you really need a new one...

Photo --- How to Write a Reading-Note

I made a cup of coffee for myself and wrote
a summary of a Wallace Academic Writing article,
after hearing a shitty news....


Title: Make a Note
I. Make a List of relating questions:
1. Revise what you have known: lectures, notes, ...
2. Outlining answers you're going to find out
3. Choose a interested point, and make out drafts for the point.
4. Looking for relating references. 


II. Do not transcribe overly:
1. Only write the main concepts and conclusions (by your words).
2. Do not use highlight, and post-in excessively.
3. Elaborate & precise description is not essential unless you   
   would use it in your essay/paper.. 


III. Label your notes:
1. Label your notes with authors' names, #pages, ..
2. Organize your notes & cards separately, for rearranging all of 
   your notes one day. 
3. Leave blanks between each line, for adding your comments, .. in  
   the future.


Tip:
Reading paragraph by paragraph -> 
close your book ->
write a conclusion for each paragraph.


Now, feel better~

I. 迷思(這邊我只寫下該段的重點)
-01. 教學是學術研究的重要形式，也是綜合與支是延伸的方法。
-02. 對出版社來說，必需出版一般讀者想看的內容。
-03. 作家必須有創作欲望經驗；遇到瓶頸時，需堅持到底。
-04. 不喜歡寫作可能與學習過程中常遭遇老師的批評有關。
-05. 規律寫作有助於提升創造力:學術人士會要求自己一週五天每天寫作半小時，來挑戰自己。
-06. 草擬初稿階段不需著墨如何改善文章架構與文法。
-07. "I write because I don't know what I think until I read what I have to say."
-08. 學術著作本來就是一種社交活動；要孰悉本身學術領域的重要議題，
        才有機會加入同儕的談話。
-09. 許多工作上的重要創新突破都是發生於工作和娛樂之間的閒暇時間；
        所以最好平時能攜帶記事本或錄音機。
-10. 修改文章並非糾正錯誤，而是一個發展和發現自我想法的過程。
-11. 思考是連續的過程，需隨世界變化而變通。
-12. 長久以來名作家們都一直弔念第一人稱已不復存在的事實。
        (不用第一人稱寫作不一定是好的寫法)
-13. 投稿前先徵求同事們的批評意見。"內定菁英制度"
-14. 每個人的寫作方式會略有不同。

II. 如何草擬並組織學樹計畫
III.製定寫作與研究筆記的準則
IV. 如何提交與推銷作品
