Airport

I'm stuck in the San Francisco airport for the next couple of hours. I think my agent booked the flight so I'd arrive early at SF, so early even the EVA ticket booth isn't open, and so I can't get my boarding pass. So I'm just sitting here waiting for that to happen. Good thing there's internet, though you have to pay for it. But at least it'll help me get by the boring hours.

I'm lucky to have some good caring friends who give good advice. One is a psychologist at that, so I joke with her that I should pay her for the therapy. I think something I still need to work on is the trust and confidence issue, particularly with girls. Trust in myself and others, or what one would call faith. Confidence in myself and others, especially to remove my own insecurities. This is a lesson to be learned, perhaps the hard way (but I hope not).

Overcoming these would prevent future problems from arising, and would not make me the problem. If anything happens, it's not me to feel guilty because I have given my trust.

By the way the wireless is pretty expensive, like 9 bucks for 24 hrs from the first login. So I can't actually log off now and come back to use my remaining minutes. I guess I'm just going to have to sit with my comp on my lap for a while. Hope the chipset heat doesn't burn some important stuff. That's the benefit of having a travelling companion...I can go pee without having to take all my stuff with me!

Update: It's good to have airline membership! After getting into the gate area, I went to the EVA lounge, and lo and behold, they have a cable for internet! Yay!

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...

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...
