Boing!

I have thought of getting one of these before, but I suppose my instinct in the end led to a better judgment. After all, it's not a particularly good sight if someone walks into your room or office and you have one of these on the desk. The first reaction would be, wow that's uhh unique. Play around, press it a bit, then eventually, start wondering about the owner with thoughts like, "What a loser!" or "Nice!" depending on perhaps your gender.

Seriously though, some statistics need to be done to see whether a product as this sells well. I know the adage "sex sells" but this is more of a "catchy ah hah that's cool but I probably won't buy it though I'll take a picture of it" product than an actual, well, uh hem kind of product. I mean, if I wanted to get anywhere with girls I probably wouldn't want them to see a mouse pad like this; instead a cute dog pic or fancy Van Gogh would do much better. Not that a mouse pad will decide whether she ends up with you or not. If only it were that simple.

By the way, hopefully it's obvious where the gel is...you know, you really wouldn't want to rest your mouse hand on uh, eyelashes! I should start referencing pics if I didn't take them...got this from Jenny's Flickr post of her recent trip back to Taiwan.

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.
