Just regular folks.

Something interesting my housemate told me today, “It’s distinctly chinese to have other people affirm your happiness.” I don’t know how true it is. I don’t even think about things like that. Is it not good that I don’t have really good insights into this world? It probably doesn’t matter so much, but it does make me think I don’t have what it takes to be a software engineer.

Welding class was just a bunch of administrata. I have to figure out something to do with a 6×6 piece of aluminum. Oh yeah, and my homework is to email the instructor with my email address. funny.

Ah man. Sometimes my relationship with Jocelyn is weird. She’s going thru a rough spot in her life right now and needs some support. Usually that comes in the form of someone needing to basically hold her hand. Usually I’m okay with that, but last night, I really just didn’t want to deal. and then of course she gets all sad that she’s so needy. great. So I’m left there wondering who’s the bad guy here. Me for being insensitive to her problems or her for being needy in the first place? I guess the problem lies somewhere in the middle.

Anyways, off to my welding class. I’ll see how it goes. Yikes.

I got another phone screen with Nvidia coming up and Amazon too, tho that might mean I’d move to Seattle.

Edda just after being born.

Crap, I gotta change over to Picasa. What the heck am I using Flickr for anyways? They aren’t owned by Google.

On another note, I smashed my rowing record! 2000 meters in 11 minutes 5 seconds. Now, I’m something like 74 out of 78 participants. Watch out olympic team.

My boys are so cute when they go off in the morning together. Both have on puffy winter coats, both have blue jeans on, both have boots on and their colorful backpacks. Both give me a little kiss and say, “Bye, bye, have a good day!”

Mom is back to Shanghai. Some one would like to interview Mom about MiniSystems when she is back to Richland, Ho-ho!

I woke up early and came to office at 4:30 AM. A record!

Fun with Picasa 2 

Gave the V-man his first haircut with the buzzer.

Getting a job at Stanford anyways. Man. I’m working the contacts, trying to get someone on the inside to help me out, but apparently it doesn’t matter that you know someone on the inside or not! GRRRRR! I want that stupid job! BLAHHHHHHHH! How hard is it really? Amazing.

I have one last resort to go to. Maybe I’ll have to do it tho. Manpower – Stanford.
