Amiens

Check out my brother's description of his travels in France. Lucky lucky kid.

Duke won a phenomenal game against UNC tonight. It was just great basketball all around. I'm starting to really get hooked on Duke basketball...this coming after years of disinterest in college sports, probably because my alma mater is so bad at just about everything, maybe besides fencing. I still don't see myself becoming a true fan though, but I plan to watch each game of the remaining season. I can definitely see how some people just go totally crazy about sports though. It brings people together.

Speaking of that, I think it's important to have faith and trust in people. This is me lecturing again..haha, I don't think I can ever take the philosopher/ teacher out of me. People get hurt, and wounds will heal over time; it may take a while. But don't let the scars bar you from happiness in the future, or make you hesistant to have faith in goodness and hesistant to love. Be ready to trust, because there are good people out there. Don't worry, I'm not talking to myself or about anything pertaining to me, just in general. I think this is a good philosophy of life to have. C'est la vie.

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.
