This guy screwed Taiwan over!


Actually not this guy, but his likeness. He basically treated Taiwan like the dough he's mucking up. Ok, that was a bit too vehement, but CKS really only thought of Taiwan as a temporary home. Still one cannot deny his greatness. His legacy still affects Taiwan today, some for better and some for worse.

Moon Festival just went by, and I had a great weekend. Lots of mooncake leftover though, so I'll probably bring them in to the lab to share. Can't possibly eat all that stuff and not feel good about myself afterwards.

So a couple jokes...told by a friend during the party this Friday. A guy is engaged to this girl. Several weeks before the wedding, the girl runs off with a doctor. From that day on, the guy started eating apples. Da da dum!

Ok, this one's requires Chinese. 那個cartoon最黑暗? Ans: 小叮噹. Why? Because...daa daa dum...伸出圓手不見五子. Hah. This one is actually rather funny. For those who don't know, its Doraemon!
This joke doesn't stop there, but somehow I've forgotten the rest of it. I'll put it up when I remember. Friday night was a good fun night, with poker, 拱豬 or as I like to pronounce it "gong zuuuuu," and XBOX. We should have more of these, say once a month!

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.
