Okay, I don't know what that "Tang" is that the old China Town gangs call themselves, is it 党 like a political party? or 堂 like a place of assembly? Tonight, 太婆Tang strikes.  I went to watch Jon Chu's GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra tonight at one of my favorite theaters. The story telling is quite excellent. Characters are strong (physically and characteristically), the action

I find myself saying this way too much recently: "But that's really not work!" I have to apologize to the people to whom I say this to. I am sure you are working very hard in ways you feel is the best. I express my discontent when I say that to mean literally, no work is being done by your action. Let's review work, by classical mechanics definition: W = F * d work is a force pushing some

A funny thought arose recently while thinking about modeling of some worldly things. Generative modeling is opposite of discriminative model. But in my thoughts, I wondered about predictive models, descriptive models and clearly in contrast to those there is such a thing as the original generative process... """ Being able to model successfully is good-- knowing the generative model is

中国俗话说得好“和气生财”，但看官您老人家可是知其一而不知其二呀！那话儿是这样说的： “”“ 和气小生财 武器生大财 ”“”

""" 后羿与常鄂本是两个武将，一个驾车一个射箭。后来被老子动员入教修道。但是因为后羿射太阳名声大，常鄂嫉妒他，就独自偷吃了仙丹妙药得青春永驻。被发现，上厅，判酷刑：变女生、奔月，他的猎犬罚变成玉兔陪伴她：改名嫦娥与玉兔。听说因为是惩罚，不象一般仙女，有其七情六欲...还有人说最大的惩罚是月经。女人最大的痛苦常被形容为嫦娥的寂寞，旁边还有个什么洁白如玉的毛绒绒的小兔子每天把她搞得浑身发毛。但没有男的，只好借玉兔的玉杵一用。每次高潮，都给地球带来台风和洪水。提醒大家性欲是所有自然灾害的祸根。 """

The ancient Chinese believes that when a person makes a promise to do a good deed in return for something he desires that he must perform that deed when his wish comes true. It is believed that if he doesn't the wish can be undone or be corrupted in strange and undesirable ways. Today we have changed these silent prayers and verbal agreements to contracts which are enforced in courts

This was an extended conversation with dad """ Me: Dad, I remember a childhood story recently. The old man said to young man, you cannot sell oil, because you have not mastered the craft. The young man obviously disagrees. So the old man put a coin (Chinese coin used to be round and have square holes in the middle 1/8" by 1/8") on top of a jar and poured from a ladle into the jar through

"Honesty is the Foundation to a Health Relationship" An old adage. I find myself thinking of this on this Easter Sunday Afternoon. Obviously, honesty facilitate happiness and operational cohesion inside a family.  But somebody says, trust is more important. It's okay to allow leeways for small white lies, but not okay if there is no trust. This is stating an obvious effect caused by

I want to by the 3rd generation IPad. Recently Apple made major effort to improve the poor Chinese slave laborers working in foxconn's sweat shops and tried to raise their salaries to global income level. Thank you Apple!

Around Christmas time last year (2010) I found out that there were such things as Swingers code. This is quite weird since Christmas is a family holiday--hardly the time to be swinging... And further, since I am unmarried, this was just weird. But apparently, there are code words swingers use to hookup... so here are some: key management and exchange system Java Swing

I wanted to take this Christmas day opportunity to post a funny Personal Ad I put up last year in a Chinese dating site called 2redbeans.

Today, some hot chicks at work said that my compliment to her "hey! you've lost weight" was not a compliment. That it implied that she was overweight before. "That's not how you're supposed to say it, say, you look nice today"... one of them helped out... "Have you lost weight?" I added.. "No, that still meant you think she weight too much" "But it's really noticeable!!" I said!

I'm reading through my backlog of unposted blog entries. Below is a copy of a draft circa q4 2010, a slight repeat of this entry. This thread of thought continues in my mind, though now has transformed, hopefully, to a more material facts based and quantitative analysis. There are probably some social trends that cannot be overcome by individual efforts. Like, why is it that I feel gay people

A great friend of mine is married right now, previously, I had written about the Han Chinese marriage ceremony (which consists entirely of kowtowing and bowing). Tonight, I'd like to copy down for you some well wishes Chinese guests give to their hosts during a wedding, all of which I wish upon my friends marrying, married, or will marry:新婚快乐早生贵子白头偕老比翼双飞美满爱情感天动地天赐良缘永结同心百发齐眉举案齐眉天长地久翱翔蓝天情投意合白首齐眉鸳鸯

Recently, at a dinner party with close friends, I had the opportunity to explain an interesting analogy for startups. It was the wise old tale that tells of three mice trying to overcome hunger and their human conditions:The first mouse wasn't hungry, it saw the cheese on the trap and made a pass at it. It was caught by the trap and killed. Its spine broken and its blood drains and soaks the

I was reminded of the 100-flowers episode recently. I think popular media in American tend to make people believe that those people who speaks out, who differentiate himself will win more often than those who don't. Although, now I feel that perhaps it's not right. Perhaps the best is to remain anonymous and unrecognized.If a movement is started to try to find problems, I think maybe there is a
