Revenge of the Sith

The new Star Wars trailer is out! Have you seen it? Go to starwars.com now!

This movie will bring to a close an awesome epic fantasy story that has captivated my heart and imagination (and many other people's) since I was three years old. I still vividly remember watching Return of the Jedi when it first came out in theaters (this being when I was three) and being slightly frightened by the grotesque Jabba the Hutt. But the fantasy of it all got me hooked, and this explains why Part VI (the third movie chronologically) has always been my favourite of the old trilogy. Even today, I'm quick to snatch up the newest action figure available, though I've stopped buying every single figure I see. I'm more picky and have limited my collecting to the main characters, such as Vader, Yoda, Obi-wan, etc.

Besides Star Wars, I've gotten myself into all sorts of fantasy/sci-fi novels. Game of Thrones, The Wheel of Time, The Golden Compass, etc. The only stuff I read these days besides physics and math. It's my way of relaxing.

Someday if I have the time, courage, and strength, I'd like to write a fantasy/sci-fi story of my own. To dream, to create!

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...
