The Dark Knight Returns!




My favourite superhero is Batman. Looks like there's some new stuff coming out. Check here.

Batman is cool because he's human. His wit, intellect, physical prowess, and other human features that are trained and tuned with endless hard work and effort allow him to become a superhero. He's not born with his powers. Granted he was born into wealth, but you need a little something to start you off. Batman is a loner, who has gone through several side-kicks, either as they've been killed off or grown old. He's a no strings attached, independent villain butt kicker! I also like how Batman comics tend to be darker and richer with emotion. He's only human after all. Superman on the other hand seems to live in the light and is almost always near perfection.

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...

I like to keep up with what's going on in Taiwan. Recently, an editorial in Taipei Times referred to Secretary Colin Powell as "a sorry wreck of a once principled man." I was quite taken aback at how blunt the statement was, and though I don't agree entirely with the statement, I do see the message. The response from the State Dept. however, is one that is indicative of current US attitudes to criticism. Check the article here . The idea is that Taipei Times will now be blacklisted, and the State Dept. official in charge of Taiwan/ China affairs refuses to have any further communication with the newspaper. Similarly, we see Bush's disdain with the UN official's comments that economically well-off nations have not been generous enough with aid efforts in Asia. I understand it's important for one's self esteem to easily brush off criticism, but these guys just can't take any at all. Here's an editorial . The earthquake/ tsunami centered near A...
