David Foster Wallace was like, Art must be sincere! We must use every tool in the linguistic toolbox to cut through sentiment and dishonest cliche and build fresh ways to reveal the power and reality of unironized emotion.


And Mister Rogers was like, Basically the same thing, but without any shame or pretense or fear of sincerity.

New streetlamps could improve your view of the stars.

A new paper published in the journal Optics Express describes a system for focusing light from streetlamps directly on the area required, with almost no light leakage horizontally or vertically. Conventional street lamps scatter up to 20% of their energy away from where it is required, not only wasting power but also leading to light pollution which obscures your view of the night sky.

The proposed LED lamp uses a lens to limit where the light is projected, with a reflecting cavity to recyle light that would otherwise be wasted. The team thinks the system would use between 10 to 50% less power to illuminate a section of road than current LED streetlamps, which are already more efficient than regular lamps.

A prototype is being developed and is hoped to be completed this October.

pLEASE

YES

This sounds awesome.

This makes me unnaturally excited

THIS IS SO COOL ON AN INCREDIBLE SCALE

This is actually a really cool design that my engineering team might be interested in. We’re working on a solar powered lamp post. I’m going to present this to them, but I don’t know if they’d be interested because we already have a design. We’re kinda already in the prototype-building phase. I really think it’s something worth looking at though.

QuestionI feel like you got asked every question in the number one?!! xD so I will ask from the name game bahahaha - Peter :D Answer

I answered all the even and the multiples of 5s. So the ones that are still up for grabs are odd numbers that are not 23 and do not end in 5. :]

Hm, Peter. Off the top of my head, I think of my old ECE TA and two friends I had in high school. I’ll talk about one of the Peters I knew in high school. He’s a year younger than me and was one of the guys on my tennis team. He was often my doubles partner. We talked about a lot of ‘guy stuff’ and high school drama stuff that we would think of as trivial at our current age. He’s a really nice guy with good intentions. I’m not sure what he’s doing now, and I don’t believe I’ve seen him since graduation. But it looks like he’s still with his high school sweetheart two years after graduation, so I’m pretty happy to see that. :]

Thanks for asking. :D

QuestionAsh! haha tell me a pokemon story :) Answer

I used to play Pokemon on a competitive level back in high school. I competed in small online tournies. I started with a sandstorm-based team and then later made a offensive rain team. During senior year of high school, I went to see Wong Fu Productions at UC Davis with some friends. Instead of sleeping that night, we spent much of our time just battling. Didn’t feel like sleeping on the hard floor. You can compare them to ERC floors. haha

I believe they can work. Actually, I believe that if the relationship is worth it, it has to work. I believe that even if two people love each other, they shouldn’t be completely co-dependent. They won’t always be physically together. A relationship should be more than just hugs and kisses, and with today’s technology, communication shouldn’t be a big problem. If the person is worth it, you should be willing to wait for long periods of time and trust they’ll still be yours when they return. 

Thanks for asking. :]

QuestionTracey Answer

Saved this one for last because I was considering not answering it because I don’t like dwelling too much in the past. I’m pretty sure you know this is my ex, and that’s why you decided to put that name in my inbox. I suppose I could share a story.

We met once before, but at the time, I didn’t know. During the summer between my freshman and sophomore year of high school, a girl of a mutual friend (this is not the girl this post is about) randomly started messaging me on Myspace (hah, remember back when that was a thing?). We started talking a lot over the summer and she invited me to hang out with her and her friends. And so we hung out at the mall. One of her friends that was there was Tracey. I didn’t really talk to her that day, and we didn’t see each other for the next two years.

Two years pass and I was now a senior in high school. An old friend of mine asked  me what I’m doing for the day. I texted him back telling him I was doing a bunch of errands for the day and would be biking all over town. I told him I was heading to the library first to return some books. Next, I went to the bike shop to get some parts, and then my friend texted me asking me where I was again. I told him and left to the mall to buy a pair of sandals. My friend texted me again asking where I was, and that’s when I realized he was trying to meet with me. So I wait outside and hear a girl shout out my name, and it was her. The three of us hung out for the day, and then during the night, she made a bold move and held my hand while we were being dropped off home. I didn’t expect to see her again.

My old friend invited me to have pho with him and her, and I went. I had my yearbook on me while I was there, and she took it and wrote something down in Japanese. I had a Japanese friend read it for me, but now that I’ve taken 3 Japanese classes, I actually kinda wanna go find that yearbook and read it myself when I get home. I think I know what it says now though. I think it was a reference to her real name because up to this point, she gave me a fake name. I didn’t know her real name until after our first date. She texted me later that week to go out on a date, and that is how it started.

Thanks for asking. :]
