Breathe

The maddening pace of work will come to a slower trot now that we've decided not to push for coming up with the most wanted data for next week's March Meeting. There still is data to present, just not the one we wanted to actually get. That will come in time, I hope, and that means I don't have to work like crazy. But I'll still be working next week, even though it's spring break. Just at a much less killer pace. Breathe!

Research is a long and lonely road. I'm not the first to say it and won't be the last. Many famous scientists have said it, and I've had been warned before going into physics. I still chose it; call me stubborn then. Taurus is the bull after all...known to be stubborn.

I find it funny my parents are desperately trying to introduce me to a girl in Taiwan. Haha. I am such a loser! I appreciate mom and dad's efforts though, but I already told them if they want grandchildren anytime soon they need to look to my bro. He has always been so much more successful at getting the girl. Anyways, someday that perfect someone may come along. Who know's, perhaps she's already nearby, just neither of us know it or accept it or whatever. I'm kind of resigned to fate on this issue, so yea. People say you should be active about it. Everytime I do that it never ends happily for me. So yea.

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." 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

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...

Did X say that?

I was cleaning out old draft emails when I came upon these quotes. 1. “Set your goals high; make friends with different kinds of people; enjoy simple pleasures. Stand on high ground; sit on level ground; walk on expansive ground.” 2. In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit . -Albert Schweitzer, philosopher, physician, musician, Nobel laureate (1875-1965) Both quotes resonated with me, and both quotes provide profound, provoking, prose projecting providence. But for the first quote I'm not sure who to attribute, and for the second, while I'd like to imagine he said that, I'm not really sure if Dr. Schweitzer did (because I have never met him!). In the internet age, I think it really behooves one to critically analyze everything read online. Does X make sense, did X say that? Sometimes it...
