It's the end of a year, again.
Weird, the days seem to pass by faster year after year, especially after you passed the G3. You feel you want to do something, but somehow also feel you don't have the luxury of time for it.
Recently I am in a stage thinking about my second project. It's hard since now you have to think about the time constraint. Maybe the 4th year is like an early checking point of the graduate career. If not successful at this timepoint, maybe everything is going to be harder in the future?
In 2007, I learned a lot, especially in sciences, some in good ways, some not. I am fortunate having two anchors now, family and science. Having a kid, changed everything.
Feel still a long road ahead. Hope at the same day next year, I can make more things happen.
Happy New Year, everyone!
(and go Patriots!!!)

The Perfect Patriots
The highlight of the Patriots-Giants game
It was a nice game. Now the Patriots have a perfect regular season with 16 and 0. The only thing left is to push the record further to 19 and 0 and have a perfect season. Then this Patriots will be no doubt the best team EVER in NFL history.
Review of the Perfect Patriots from Game 1 to Game 16
See how good is the Brady-Moss combination.
Patriots traded Moss from Raiders with a 4th-round draft. That is almost a crime for getting Moss by that kind of price.
Moss agreed to tear up his old contract ($21 millions for next two years) and signed a new 1-year contract with Patriots for $5 million. In the same time, Tom Brady also agreed to reconstruct his contract to get salary space for Randy Moss.
This Patriots have the records on most points in regular season, most touchdowns in regular season, and most regular season winning streak (19 now and still going), with a QB has most single season touchdowns and a WR with most receiving touchdowns in NFL regular season history.
Go Patriots!

The Historical Game
Tom Brady
FanFan
Patriots are 15-0 now, and they are going to play Giants at New York tomorrow. This game, will be a historical game, and lots of records might be broken in this single game.
Tom Brady is two TDs away for breaking the record made by Peyton Manning at 2004; Randy Moss is two Receiving TDs shy from breaking the NFL record; Patriots need 6 more points to make a new regular season point record; and the most important of all, the patriots are going to be the first team finish 16-0 in regular season, yeah, a PERFECT season.
The game is on Saturday night 8pm, originally scheduled to be played only on NFL network, which is a pay-channel that only 40% of the people in the US can watch it. However, since this game could be a historical game, the Congress put pressure on NFL, urging them to put this game on free TV.
NFL made a announcement yesterday that this game will be simultaneously nationwide broadcasted by NBC, CBS, and NFL. If you are living in New England or New York area, ABC local stations will also broadcast this game.
Now you see how huge the deal is. ABC, NBC, CBS, NFL will actually broadcast the same game at the same time. It sets a record already.
Don't miss this chance, if you are not a football fan. At least, in the future, you can tell your child or grandchild:
"Oh yeah... I watched THAT GAME!"
Let's Go Pats! Let's Go Brady! Let's Go Moss!

Evolution
I read the newspaper yesterday (the Walls Street or The Washington Post, I forgot). It said this Dove commercial is the most successful AD of 2007.
Evolution, it was planned to be released on Youtube.
Since it's hot, there were many parodies.
Due to the success of the Evolution, Dove had a follow-up "Onslaught".
Actually I like the Onslaught better, especially the message "Talk to your daughter before the beauty industry does".

How to Solve Problems
OK, here is another one. This is a very popular one actually. Try google image with "prlblem solving flow chart" as keywords, you will find tons of it.
We had this flowchart on the door of our lab's microscope room, but somehow it was gone. Today I found it reappears on the board in our "departmental" microscope room.

北京法源寺
這陣子天冷又下雪,不好再騎腳踏車去實驗室,只好改搭 shuttle。為了排遣等車還有車上的空檔,一開始是打算奮發一點,在車上唸 paper,後來發現實在折磨,字小車晃唸得頭昏不說,內容讀進去還得消化一番,太累了,便從燕京借了些中文小說,剛好。
本來打算借張愛玲的「色,戒」,但這書這陣子實在太搶手,還得排上好一陣子。便先借了「北京法源寺」看看。前陣子大風雪,我在實驗室待得太晚,不知路上交通阻塞,傻傻地在雪中邊捧著這本書看,邊等車來,一等就等了快一個小時,所以這本北京法源寺沒花到多少天,就給看完了。
書的格局是比一般小說大的,不過李敖還是改不掉吊書袋的老毛病,有不少地方已經超過替讀者解說而到賣弄的程度了。人如其文,果真不錯。故事大底是以康有為、譚嗣同的戊戌變法為骨幹前後延伸,帶出清末明初的世局變化。裡面點到了知識份子在亂局的選擇,維新好,還是革命好,或許因為主角們都是歷史上真實的人物,反而讓故事裡的人物有種不真實的感覺。然後當主角們開始發表長篇大論開始說理或考據的時候,就活脫像駭客任務裡面一樣每個人都給李敖上身了,再再都是李敖的影子,角色間的區別也沒了。
據說李以此書提名諾貝爾文學獎,可能我駑頓,覺得沒有那般好。
翻開書皮,裡面大大地貼著這書是「中華民國同學會」贈給學校的。
許多人大概都聽聞過前陣子我們學校同學會的風波,基本上是兩個政治狂搞的一件無聊事。
我剛來的那年同學會還是叫「中華民國同學會」,學校有很多學院設有一年的 master program,為廣大「慕名而來」的學子服務,這些一年學程的學生又特愛參加同學會,真正長期待在這兒的人反而少參加。像我和俊仁就從來沒有參加過(其實我是心疼要交的會費)。也因為這樣,每年要找人當會長總是件麻煩事。
正名這件事,已經弄了很多年了,兩年前的墨綠色會長參選的唯一目的就是要把這同學會的名字給「正」掉,然後下一任的深藍色會長接手就是不要讓這名字給正掉。最後在墨綠跟深藍的交接典禮上,墨綠會長運作動員人馬把門檻過了,名字就變「台灣同學會」。
接下這個台灣同學會的深藍會長心裡自然不舒服,找個理由認為表決過程有問題所以無效,還是叫中華民國同學會,引起大嘩,吵鬧之餘墨綠會長找來最愛台灣的本土自由時報把這事給報了出來,就人盡皆知了。最後深藍會長辭職,同學會還是叫台灣同學會;然後深藍會長自己又「復創」了中華民國同學會「延續正統」,我們學校就變成一中一台了。以台灣只有藍綠的眼光套上來,剛好就是絕佳題材,一直到現在 bbs 上一些政治狂熱份子還動不動就有人喜歡把這事拿出來講。
但大多數人不知道的是,就像我說的,絕大部分參加的人都是待短期的,以「沾光」為目的,自然是兩邊都參加,多多益善,管你甚麼意識型態,所以其實兩邊的會員人數基本上差不多,大部分是兩邊都參加。說來真的很無聊,選會長的目的就是搞政治,不是幫助新生或聯絡感情,來這不好好唸書,滿腦子政治的政治狂。改啥名字都沒甚麼差。
不過呀,我真的是不愛台灣,雖然沒有參加台灣的同學會,但卻是中國同學會的會員。大陸的中國同學會有官方資助,不用交會費,然後還有免錢電影或活動可以參加,有一年註冊時遇到要好的大陸朋友擺攤招生,他是副會長,開玩笑說我也可以參加一起去玩,不用錢喔!所以便把我也登記進去,我就變成會員了,上次中國同學會選幹部,我還有投票權哩。
再加上我現在又生了美國人,家有美國護照一本,大概就是台灣最本土的人口中的「不愛台灣」加上「中共同路人」吧。

跳,舞
音樂是很早以前一齣很有趣卡通的主題曲,原來的名字是「金魚元氣預報」,在台灣翻作「娛樂金魚眼」。
凡凡只要聽到音樂總是會隨之起舞,而且手部頭部的花樣還不少。這次凡凡決定用比較劇烈的方式,大概像是跳有氧舞蹈吧,還會特別站在兩面窗戶前,注視著窗子玻璃裡反射自己的樣子,就跟在舞蹈教室裡對著鏡子跳一樣。

雪人
避寒
因為天氣冷,凡凡不好在室外連續待太久,隔了一會兒便把凡凡帶到設計學院大樓裡面。
設計學院門口的一對鷹獅應景,戴起了角,裝起聖誕節的麋鹿。只見凡凡那兩頰的紅暈都快跟那對紅色的鹿角差不多紅了。
設計學院大廳兩旁大片大片地貼著世界各地知名的建築設計,凡凡不知為何故意學著鴨子走路,邊走邊欣賞,愉快地講著不知所云的火星話。最後看到牆上影片中出現他最喜歡的火車,馬上衝過去看,不過不巧地影片剛好也就結束了。
之後轉到設計學院的餐廳,坐下來休息,欣賞一下窗外的雪景,順便讓凡凡吃些餅乾喝點水補充體力。
凡凡不知道腦袋裡在想甚麼東西,一臉若有所思的樣子;偶然發現嘴裡東西吃完了,便快速地抓起餅乾吃一口,再繼續地若有所思下去。

雪是甚麼
雪霽天晴朗
躲貓貓
雖然凡凡很好動,不過其實真要他靜下來他也忍得住氣可以待著不動好一會兒。玩捉迷藏就是一個例子。
凡凡現在喜歡躲在門後面,往往一站就好一陣子,等著我們去找他。有時我們實在玩到不想玩了,不管他;凡凡過一陣子還會故意發出聲響,給點暗示,讓你知道他在哪理。

My DAC
We had a HUGH storm yesterday.
This morning, I came to the lab at 9, half hour before my DAC. Tim was there already. I checked my email, two committee said they cannot make it. Jeff had to stay with his two kids due to a 2 hour delayed start of school this morning; and Andrew was in Detriot airport because the snow kept all flight to Boston from happening.
I: Shall I reschedule my DAC?
Tim: You know, even there is only me, we still should have it. Let me call Tom, ask if he wanna come this morning.
(5 minutes later)
Tim: Tom said he glad to come. He will be here in ten minutes.
(20 minutes later, Tom arrived)
I: Hi Tom, thank you for coming!
Tom: I love to! So you are the one. (shaking hands)
Tim: Okay, let's start.
Tom: Is this your first DAC?
I: This is my second.
Tom: Oh! this is your second DAC. Was I here in your first DAC?
Tim: Yes, you were here.
Tom: I was?
Tim: You were.

A Busy Week
I have my DAC meeting on Friday. The goal is to help evaluate my potential future directions after the first paper. I tried to sqeeze more data for it these days.
Aaron past his doctoral defense yesterday. It is like the the typical student's thesis in our lab, as my current school, very acentric, and lack of a storyline between different subprojects. The reason for this is Tim let us do whether we wanna do, and usually one interesting result pop-out, you jump to it, discard the relevance to previous stories.
Yesterday, I found I might get a little cold , but still finished the "Spider man 3" with family since James strongly recommend it. Uh, it is really not good, kind of like waste of time even it is free. However, FanFan loved it. We had the "Transformers" in hands right now. I bet FanFan will love it more.
Now I sit in the Widener Library and work on my DAC slides, with my running nose. I wrote this simply because I need a break and escape from it for a while.
Okay, back to work!

Late Abstract
Uh... I am not saying this because my poster was in the late abstract section. Somehow I feel the (average) poster quality in the late abstract is surprising better than the early ones. I talked to several guys and they all felt the same way.
Is that common for late abstracts?
I don't know what the reasons are for others who have posters in late abstract. I forgot the abstract submission due, therefore could only send it as late abstract.
Although it seemed some big names were gone then, I still got tons of visiters. Actually too many that I can't even take a look at other posters (including the one besides which did similar things as mine).
I rarely saw a poster blows me away during this ASCB, and most of the good ones were (near)published. The late abstract section had the most posters I am interested, but I didn't really have a chance to see it. Really a shame.

會議中心
會議的最後一天,早上退了房,便將凡凡帶到會議中心。整個會議中心十分寬敞,讓凡凡自由跑動的空間很多。剛好今天又在下雪,凡凡便很高興地在樓上透過大片的落地窗觀看窗外的雪片落下,還有地上凡凡最喜歡的車子跑來跑去。
下午 poster section 結束時,也帶凡凡去開了開眼界,自然又是一陣狂跑。
另外自從去了 Museum of Air and Craft 買了架太空梭後,Thomas & Friends 小火車便失寵了,之後凡凡不管去哪兒,手上帶著的都是太空梭,再也不拿小火車跟他一起走了。

吃到飽中國菜
吃一直都是我們在 DC 最大的問題,大人還好打發,但要讓凡凡吃飽就比較麻煩了。頭兩天都是我從 Chinatown 包餐回來吃,今天翹了會議跑出來,循著地圖上的廣告找到了家華人的自助餐,吃到飽的那種,很不賴,中餐 $7.5, 晚餐 $9.5,這是含稅過的價錢,因為自己拿菜,所以也不用給小費,算得上十分經濟划算。菜色也很多,煮得也算好吃。店名叫華美自助餐,在 14th st. 上 Thomas circle 附近,離幾年前 AACR 會議時住的 Washington Plaza 十分近,很意外當時竟沒有發現這家店,還得跑個老遠買 subway 吃。
裡面服務生會講國語,但她們有時也會用另外一種聽不懂的語言交談,一開始我還以為是越南話,問了之後才知道那是福州話,可能是我孤陋寡聞,沒想到福州也在福建,和閩南語竟然會差這麼多,到完全聽不懂的地步。
菜色不錯,凡凡還吃了水果,果凍和冰淇淋,飯罷還高興地唱起歌來給服務生聽。
題外話,Tim 很喜歡吃中國菜,每次有機會聚餐往往都提議上中菜館子。這次在 DC 也不意外,第一天晚上便拉著一伙同來開會的朋友上館子吃中菜,還很高興地說他找到一家只要 $3.5 的中菜館。不過據 Peter Soger 事後的回顧,整個會議下來也就只有這麼一次,當晚所有一起吃飯的人回飯店後都拉了肚子。
所以便宜真的沒好貨,吃館子也不例外。

聖誕樹!走!
聖誕節快到了,住的地方樓下擺了一棵聖誕樹,掛滿了裝飾。凡凡一開始還不太敢靠近這些花花綠綠的玩意兒,一直到看見摸一摸搖一搖都沒事之後,才放心大膽地靠近去試玩一下。
後來玩出興趣了,回頭拉人要一起玩,嘴巴還會學著大人邊走邊說著「走!」、「走!」。

Trip to D.C.
今天開始一連五天的 ASCB,會議地點在 D.C.,想說既然自己的飯店跟機票都有人出了,凡凡不到兩歲不用機票,全家同行只要再多買一張機票就行了,十分划算。
這次凡凡第二次到 Logan Airport,只是第一次的時候凡凡還沒滿一歲,大概也記不得了。
凡凡專心地看著窗外真實的大飛機。
這次會議雖說機票旅館都不是花自己的錢,不過還是該儘量幫老闆省錢。所以我們住在 Capital Hill 旁的 Hyatt Hotel ......... 的對面的 Holliday Inn,雖然不是四星級大飯店,但其實該有的一樣也不缺,住起來也很舒服,免費的 internet,還有 cable 可以讓我看 Monday Night Football。算是很滿意。
坐飛機一路順利,凡凡又再次得到了空服員的讚美說是個表現良好的乖小孩。真正的麻煩在於晚上時,凡凡決定出來玩這麼久,該是時間回家睡覺了,一直拉著自己的 stroller 要出門。睡覺時也不是很安穩,不時爬起來左顧右盼一番,久久不能入睡。
到了深夜,竟然聽到凡凡說夢話,不過不知道講些甚麼東西。再過一會兒,凡凡又開始發出像哭一般的抽噎吸唆聲音,大概是在夢中哭的樣子,真是可憐。

Let's Talk about Some Downsides
Tim is a nice guy, but has some unique thought, which makes him sometimes not an ideal boss of a lab.
This is what happened today. One labmate submitted his manuscript to Science and got the feedback yesterday. In brief the editor suggested sending it to somewhere else since there is no physiological relevance. My labmate printed it out and gave it to Tim.
"well, it is a fair review, and there is a point", Tim said, after read it.
My labmate feels very frustrated and becomes supercynical today. Tim, as a boss, should stand on his side. He was told several times such thing happens actually on everyone in the lab, but once it happened on himself, it's still hurt. Therefore, people in the lab gathered together, to give him a group therapy.
I am not saying Tim is a bad person. It is just Tim being Tim. Maybe that is what he had been through in Marc Kirschner's lab. David Drubin in Berkeley ever said Marc's lab is extremely disorganized. It is a shame that people in that lab could have performed even better if things go to the other way. Tim always thinks if you are good, you can figure everything out by yourself. Unfortunately, it turns out to be not everyone is as brilliant as Tim is.
Well, it seems I better get myself well prepared, since I shall be the next one to be hit.

三希堂法帖
現在中文用的機會少了,加上小時候不用功,像上一篇寫凡凡撞桌子那篇裡頭有個「忖」字,會認但不知該怎麼唸,所以也沒辦法用注音打出來。剛好這時讀到了篇遇上類似難題的文章,裡面提到了「行政院主計處電子處理資料中心建置『CNS11643中文標準交換碼全字庫』(簡稱全字庫)網站」,剛好可以用來解決我這樣的問題。 其實還真的是個蠻好用的工具。
更好的是裡面搜有歷代書法家對這個字的字帖,蠻有意思的。
下面四字分別取自趙孟頫的「集就章」(康橋),「與德俊帖」(記),「絕交書」(事)。
