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!

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.
