三言两语

最近过得还凑合，出来跟大家冒个泡。

我的韩国朋友Gangman要回国了，去和家人做短暂的团聚。他做的课题的几个任务还在我旁边那间屋子里的服务器上呜呜的跑着。他说程序跑完了文章就出来了，我于是就这么帮他守着。我把我带来的那套礼品筷送给了Gangman，他特高兴！我比他还开心，因为带来的礼物总算派上合适的用场了。之前在国内买的另一套作为新婚礼物送了武师姐，用途基本一样吧，呵呵

在国内的最后几天，一个好朋友要回家了，回那个``烟花三月''的城市。离别前留给我了一对很漂亮的小海螺，我用伞兵绳把它挂车里了。每次我进车，它都会晃一晃，就好像好朋友在向我招手似的。


My friend Gangman will go back home soon, to reunite with his wife and family. I gave him as present the chopsticks I brought here, and glad that he was really happy about it. Some time ago I gave the other one to Haiyan, as wedding gift. So this is basically the same.

The photo shows that I hung a pair of little seashells in my car, which is a gift from my good friend back in China. Every time it swings, it seems like my friend is waving to me. God knows when we can see each other again.

Driving test passed!

I passed the driving test this morning. Hooray!

The computer system in Department of Public Safety office is down today so I did not get my temporary permit instantly, and thus I keep the record paper with me and will bring it back later. Here shows it!

First ticket in US

As usual, I was riding on a bike leisurely from apartment to office this morning. When I was about to get off and walk the remaining distance, I noticed a police officer in black uniform was riding after me and blowing his horn at me. I was wondering what happened when he said "Stop!"

Oh my god... I suddenly realized what has happened, before the officer gently told me why I was stopped for... I didn't stop at the stop sign.

Thus I got a WARNING ticket, it is my first ticket in US, and I will keep it.





今天早上因为我违章骑车（忽略停车标志）而吃了一张ticket。

当时我已经骑到实验室旁边准备下车了，忽然发现后面跟了个胖警察，穿着制服（短衣短裤:)），骑着自行车追我，还朝我鸣笛。我马上反应过来是犯事了，赶快停下来。警察先向我说明我哪里违章了，然后例行索要证件。我的学员驾照还给要了去看看。然后就是在这张ticket上一通写。这当我瞥见他腰上装备真不少，还有一支手枪...不敢瞎看了赶紧目视前方....

也幸好只是个警告，没有经济损失。不过我以后一定会注意啦！

写到这里不由得想起本科时候也有类似经历：在北京颐和园路东口那里因为骑车带人被一位交警拦下来，要证件没带，然后被告诫不要违章，并被罚了二十块。

My jogging route

I took my camera with me when jogging yesterday afternoon. It was Sunday and there's quite big wind blowing from north-west. Not a dust in the air, the sky was crystal blue. Very cool temperature too.

Basically, the pictures shows my daily jogging route.

An old tree seen on the playground, quite near to my apartment.

Near the George Bush Library.

Still near the Bush Library. You can see on the grass field a piece of land was intentionally left untouched for the wild flowers to bloom.

The George Bush Library. My friend Clay told me that before the library was built, here used to be a farm where livestocks were kept.

The small pond in the research park.

Near Bush Library, on the route back.

When serious industry gets absurd

今早adug同学推荐我看的...谷歌的技术精英们，天才般的整了个``谷鸽''。

“思想有多远，山寨就有多远”，google高举全民山寨的大旗，雷啊！！！

（...心想，这么牛X的鸽子一天得吃多少谷子呢？？）

Or, when a bunch of absurd people control it..

Anyway, I like to be absurd. Occasionally, that is.
