Drain

I'm really getting drained with these last two weeks of intensive lab work. We are so close to making this damned thing work, but somehow success continues to evade us. I think I'm working very systematically and carefully, but somehow luck is not on my side. I just pushed through two more samples, and before I can even think about measuring anything, both are already dead. Don't worry fucking animal rightists, I'm not dealing with anything that was alive to begin with. I am getting closed to needing a real get away/ break where I don't see or think any physics for a day or two. Fortunately spring break is coming up, but I don't know. I can't really get away cause I need to start work on my prelim exam...

I think the posts are going to be dark for a while heh.

I'm thinking of moving to a single...I realized although I have roommates now, I practically never interact with them. So it's like not having roommates at all. And though the apartment is relatively nice, the location is far, and everytime I work like crazy like this and get real tired and all I could use now is a hot bath and sleep, I still have to drive a distance to get home..I dunno.

Overall satisfaction with things: low. Maybe I'll buy a new toy just to cheer things up.

Update: I'm stuck in physics for another half hr to hr since the nitrogen truck is here to fill the tank outside. Normally this wouldn't be a problem. But some idiot decides to park right where the truck-head stops, so I'm completely blocked out. Can I complain some more? Hahaa..

By the way I haven't forgotten about the One series. I'll get back to those as soon as the anger subsides.

M's first art installation

My son and I went exercising at the gym this morning (Feb. 2, 2019). We had physical and mental workouts, and I was full of pride to see him put together this exhibit. He called it, "Train." The work is abstract, with the cone symbolizing the engine and the ball can be pictured as "balls of steam" that roll out of the chimney or exhaust system! Train

3D metal printing

I've worked with stainless steel in the machine shop, and it isn't exactly the easiest metal to drill or lathe. So to be able to print it, wow. Another interesting company is Shapeways. Here's a video (not metal printing in this case though).

Mr. 郭

There's been a recent controversy in Taiwan over the scandalous writings of the government information officer, 郭冠英, stationed in Toronto. Here's an op-ed piece from Taipei Times. I agree with Mr. Cole that although freedom of speech is guaranteed and necessary in a democratic country, once you are employed in the government, there should be limitations to what can and cannot be said. The writings of Mr. Kuo, even though posted anonymously, breaks the trust that the public has in him as an official representative of Taiwan in Toronto, and is a breach of his responsibility to the citizens of the land of Taiwan. Frankly, I think Mr. Kuo's an idiot. ***** He said it'd be OK to kill my wife By J. Michael Cole 寇謐將 Thursday, Mar 26, 2009, Page 8 We met when I worked as an intelligence officer in Canada, part of an organization that at times risked making racism and hatred for the “other” — in that case, mostly Arabs and Muslims — a normal policy.
