Lien-Hu Meet

What's going on with that? Supposedly KMT chairman Lien Chan is going to China and will meet with Communist Party leader Hu. I'm really confused with what's going on here. What would this meeting be labelled as? Lien Chan certainly has no authority as an official Taiwanese representative. In a nation with democratically elected leaders, he lost the race to President Chen Shui-bian. Even though it was a close race, he still lost. I don't think he understands that in a democracy you have to respect that and learn to be graceful in losing. The recent KMT trips to China both worry me and also, to be honest, if done in the proper way, could be beneficial to Taiwan. Dialogue is absolutely necessary. But this must be done in a way that does not compromise Taiwan's dignity and sovereignty. I fear Lien Chan has no idea what these two words mean. Even more so, what kind of image does this present to the global community? Taiwan needs a unified front against the Anti-Secession Law. Lien's actions may not be viewed in this way.

Tell me what you think.

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...
