Bro

You know, I've been lucky in a way. When I was around two, nearing three, I asked my mom for a brother. I thought, wouldn't it be nice to have a little brother, someone I could play with and hang out with, like all the other kids who had little brothers. I was fortunate because my parents gave me a little brother. We would play castle, or cowboy, or superman and darkside (lots of toys), joust with wooden sticks and wooden swords, ride our bikes with the wooden swords as if we were cavalry charging down the hill (in Hsinchu..the hill at West Yuan), shoot bb guns, and as we got older, basketball and listen to jazz and live the NY life (he did after all, follow me all the way to college hah, "follow butt bug" as I say) overlapping for a year...live through 9/11 and...

Family is a wonderful thing, because the love is unconditional, and although it takes time to get over her, you will. Cherish the happy memories, but realize that you were true to her, and she was not to you. You owe her nothing, but will give her your friendship if asked. This is part of a larger plan for you, and I am certain it will only lead to something better......after all, the girls in Cali are hot =P.

Leadership

Check out the parody of Memoirs of a Geisha by Bobby Lee. Hilarious. Here's stuff on America's best leaders . Speaking of leadership, what makes a great leader? Do you have to be the smartest on the team? Or the best coordinator? It must really depend on the organization and job, but in general all leaders have to share similar traits. For example, I saw a brilliant basketball game today, Duke vs. Wake Forest. It's clear that Duke's leader is JJ Redick. That's because he is the most effective scorer, but also I think his will to win leads the team to achieve. Of course he is putting in perhaps the most work by scoring and playing nearly the whole 40 minutes. But he is defintely not the best defender on the team. So a leader needs to certainly be very skilled, but not necessarily the best at everything. The vision and determination is what makes a leader. Not everyone is a natural born leader. Some are better than others, by talent and nature. But I think leadership...

Of Mice and Men

Here's an interesting story, mice sing ! Check out the sound clip at the bottom of the page. Apparently during courtship male mice sing. This was discovered when researchers let male mice sniff on female or male mice urine, and though the original intention was to see how the male brain differentiates the pheromones, they noticed a rather complex ultrasound pattern erupted when hetero (whether there are homo mice is a question) male mice smelled female pheromones. This places mice in the same league as some other complex singing beings such as birds and dolphins! This is interesting for many reasons, but one I can think of is since mice are relatively easy to manipulate genetically, and the fact that they utilize complicated vocal patterns to court mates means perhaps mice have some simple language abilities. So we may be able to understand how language and vocal abilities develop and play such a crucial role (obviously as in birds better singers get to procreate!) in animals. We a...
