It was interesting? One of the things that irked me was how they just had to specifically mention "woman engineer?!?!?" in one of their exhibits. Really? IMO, calling out the fact that the tech industry lacked tech diversity back then was unnecessary. :\ Would've been more interesting to see an exhibit on famous people (including women) that helped ( Read more... )

Gundam Wing feels. :< Oh, the anime of yore. So much awesome. ;_; It feels like I'm watching one of those old black and white war movies... Some questionable scene transitions, but otherwise 素晴らしい〜！！Newfound appreciation for the dialog and themes that I only half understood as a 3rd?4th grader... Back when I'd run around playing anime superhero ( Read more... )

I chose the name of my original website way back when "shiroi kaisou" as a (hopefully correct?) translation to the ENGLISH name of a Japanese song by the group TWO-MIX called "White Reflection" from the Endless Waltz OVA of one of my favorite anime back in the day -- Gundam Wing. :D Because I've been on somewhat of a Gundam binge lately, I decided ( Read more... )

I'd say I put in 110% effort on this silly little class ( Read more... )

1) Hard working + smart
2) Hard working + not as smart
3) Not hardworking + smart
4) Not hardworking + doesn't want to think/can't think logically

I think I'm 2). I don't think anyone will deny my saying that I'm hard working... But I'm pretty slow... But #4's really frustrate me. At least #3's potentially can be good mentors.

There's been a failsauce Barbie as a Computer Engineer thing circulating around ( Read more... )

Circuits people. Or maybe circuits people here... They scoff at the fact that I want to do systems stuff, because things aren't "deep" enough. You aren't learning about the core of some circuit. Well, I guess people working on your so-called "hard-core" circuits have that opinion, but people who work on BMI or similar have a different perspective ( ( Read more... )
