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

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.
