Teen Titans!

Here's a link to some pics from my last trip to NY some time ago. Picture Stories as I like to call them. More picture stories to come.

I'm completely hooked to Teen Titans! Their theme song is so catchy too, as performed by Puffy AmiYumi.

"When there's trouble you know who to call,
Teen Titans!
From their tower they can see it all,
Teen Titans!
When there's evil on the attack,
You can rest knowing they got your back,
Cuz when the world needs heroes on patrol
Teen Titans GO!..."

It's a great cartoon. I need to get the DVDs!! Somehow I'm most attracted to the character of Raven. Robin is cool as the leader and the brainy one; he is pure human. No superpowers..just plain human. But the point is with our intellect, humans can be driven to perform superhuman feats, physical and mental. Cyborg is part man, part machine. His abilities and strengths are mechanical, but he is more than machine. Again the human will propels his already incredible strength to greater heights. Beast Boy has the power to shape shift. He's green and the jokester of the bunch. A very likable character. Starfire comes from an alien world and possesses powers that enable her to fly and shoot green firebolts. She is also the perennially cheery and optimistic one. And Raven. She is the sire of Evil itself, and yet, she strives to fight against her destiny---one where she destroys the world. The struggles she must face make for an interesting and compelling character.

Of course the animation is great. I would not be so attracted to the show if it weren't for the animation, which is a mesh of western cartoons and Japanese Anime. I think it really works, since I grew up reading comic books from both cultures. So I try to make it home everyday from work to watch, typically while I'm cooking up dinner! Teen Titans, GO!

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...

Coffee!
