The World of Science

Who said science is boring?

Well, 51% of English teenagers -- aged 13 to 16 -- did, according to this 2005 survey. I wonder if some of them believing that Madonna and Christopher Columbus were scientists had anything to do with those statistics.

It doesn't have to be that way, of course. As this laptop experiment shows, experimenting can be quite a novel experience.

Hey, it guided me to the discovery that a grape is an effective stylus -- on touchpads.

Kudos to Kenny Voon -- the KL one, not the Kuching one -- for the awesome idea.

The mouse cursor moves!

Uni Orientation - Part IV

My uni path is sealed. After talking to Prof. Sandford yesterday, the remnants of reservations I had about doing biomedical engineering are gone. Onward with the program! ^_^ (probably should've researched more thoroughly before enrolling, hehehe -- but everything's fine and dandy)

Now, if only the online handbooks were more user-friendly. Pages like this one and everything it's linked to make it a tad tedious to figure out required units across 5.5 years.
