This guy screwed Taiwan over!


Actually not this guy, but his likeness. He basically treated Taiwan like the dough he's mucking up. Ok, that was a bit too vehement, but CKS really only thought of Taiwan as a temporary home. Still one cannot deny his greatness. His legacy still affects Taiwan today, some for better and some for worse.

Moon Festival just went by, and I had a great weekend. Lots of mooncake leftover though, so I'll probably bring them in to the lab to share. Can't possibly eat all that stuff and not feel good about myself afterwards.

So a couple jokes...told by a friend during the party this Friday. A guy is engaged to this girl. Several weeks before the wedding, the girl runs off with a doctor. From that day on, the guy started eating apples. Da da dum!

Ok, this one's requires Chinese. 那個cartoon最黑暗? Ans: 小叮噹. Why? Because...daa daa dum...伸出圓手不見五子. Hah. This one is actually rather funny. For those who don't know, its Doraemon!
This joke doesn't stop there, but somehow I've forgotten the rest of it. I'll put it up when I remember. Friday night was a good fun night, with poker, 拱豬 or as I like to pronounce it "gong zuuuuu," and XBOX. We should have more of these, say once a month!

Of Mice and Men

Here's an interesting story, mice sing ! Check out the sound clip at the bottom of the page. Apparently during courtship male mice sing. This was discovered when researchers let male mice sniff on female or male mice urine, and though the original intention was to see how the male brain differentiates the pheromones, they noticed a rather complex ultrasound pattern erupted when hetero (whether there are homo mice is a question) male mice smelled female pheromones. This places mice in the same league as some other complex singing beings such as birds and dolphins! This is interesting for many reasons, but one I can think of is since mice are relatively easy to manipulate genetically, and the fact that they utilize complicated vocal patterns to court mates means perhaps mice have some simple language abilities. So we may be able to understand how language and vocal abilities develop and play such a crucial role (obviously as in birds better singers get to procreate!) in animals. We a...

Leadership

Check out the parody of Memoirs of a Geisha by Bobby Lee. Hilarious. Here's stuff on America's best leaders . Speaking of leadership, what makes a great leader? Do you have to be the smartest on the team? Or the best coordinator? It must really depend on the organization and job, but in general all leaders have to share similar traits. For example, I saw a brilliant basketball game today, Duke vs. Wake Forest. It's clear that Duke's leader is JJ Redick. That's because he is the most effective scorer, but also I think his will to win leads the team to achieve. Of course he is putting in perhaps the most work by scoring and playing nearly the whole 40 minutes. But he is defintely not the best defender on the team. So a leader needs to certainly be very skilled, but not necessarily the best at everything. The vision and determination is what makes a leader. Not everyone is a natural born leader. Some are better than others, by talent and nature. But I think leadership...

This weekend sucks!

So the Yankees are facing an uphill battle against the Angels. Hope they pull out of this one. The game today was pretty intense. Down 5-0 then went up 6-5 only to be beaten 11-7. Ugh! I don't know, they just lacked the stamina to pull things through today. Then again, I don't fault them. NY has a pretty tense weekend with the bomb alert, and I pray that all will be well. After all, in my heart NYC is still my home. This weekend is Fall Break. Unfortunately for me, the weather is bad so I probably can't go hiking, and then my boss told me Thursday that we have work to do over the weekend. Right now I am busy testing the microwave/rf generators for our quantum dot gate pulsing. We need to make sure that we can maintain the pulse form sent down to the sample with minimal distortion, reflection, attenuation and loss. This is made particularly difficult due to the size of our metal gates (which I made), on the order of 100 nm or less in width and less than 20 nm in thickness. S...
