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. [...]

Professor Lewin

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.

I already have plans to [...]

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 [...]
