Back on Your Feet



I'm thankful for loving family and a few close friends that I have..for giving me support and words of advice when needed. I don't ask for much; I mean I don't need hundreds of friends. I want quality friendships and loving relationships, and at least from my family, I know I have that. Knowing that is just the most wonderful and comforting thought ever.

Anyways, going to take it easy, in the sense that I'll try not to let the pressure get to me. And I'm not giving up, don't worry (mom hehe). Never a quitter. Press on in the lab! But it's not a stupid stubbornness don't worry. If a way doesn't work, absolutely doesn't work, I'll know to drop it and think of some new way. That's being scientific right?

The pic above, btw, shows our doggy absolutely tired out from a mountain climb, or a version of it. Apparently after the walk up the mountain he just completely melted to the ground in exhaustion. Some hunting dog! More philosophizing from the phil, knowing how to and to definitely get back up though, that's the key.

M's first art installation

My son and I went exercising at the gym this morning (Feb. 2, 2019). We had physical and mental workouts, and I was full of pride to see him put together this exhibit. He called it, "Train."

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.
