Inspired!

I have been inspired by yunyun09 to update my about page! Since I’ll be studying like mad for the next few days for finals/SAT IIs, I probably won’t be posting anything new.
On the subject of inspiring people, I’d like to share a story I first heard from one of my sixth-grade teachers, Mr. Chang. [...]

After another one of my web escapades (I seem to be having a lot of those now that I have four frees in one day), I discovered Walter H. G. Lewin, a Physics professor at MIT.  He’s gathered a diverse following of people from around the world and inspired many to begin to explore the [...]

Declan Galbraith

So, while randomly surfing the web this week, I came across Declan Galbraith, a male singer relatively unknown in the U.S. However, he’s quite popular in parts of Europe and even China.

Irena Sendlerowa

This post is in dedication to Irenea Sendlerowa (also known as Irene Sendler), who recently passed away on May 12, 2008.  To many, she was known as the “female Schindler” and proof of the existence of selfless goodwill.  Sendlerowa helped save over 2,500 Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto by smuggling them out in bags and [...]

I already have plans to [...]

After the AP Exam

Well…what to say? Hmm…I thought that the multiple choice section was rather difficult but the free response was okay.  Kind of.

A Despicable Parrot

I’m not sure if we’re supposed to do a blog this weekend but I will anyways…in which I explain my hatred for a certain bird. In a physics-related manner, of course.
Most mornings, I have the unfortunate experience of hearing my “neighbor’s” parrot squawking as I wait for the elevator to arrive at my floor. I [...]

Random Instances of Physics

It pains me to know that recently, my posts have become rather short and blah. And of course, I blame all of this on the upcoming AP exams. Anyways, this weekend was another one of those extremely busy and boring ones with few physics revelations. Which is most regrettably unfortunate.
First of all, I took the [...]
