I’ve been in low mood for a long period, for sadness of leaving NYC, failed for exam of NCTU Master’s degree, and powerlessness beyond description. Just aware of getting older, and look at others have good family, even they have babies. And I’m still single alone. Dislike current job, but not set up to do further decision. Short person and with no money, no any goal in life, what can I seek for, ask for, yell for? I don’t go to church often, what’s the reason? Maybe due to uncomfortable of the ones in HsingChu. God knows it ! Is it the time to leave now? Or am I just belongs to Strawberries, right? Arrr………… Just feel down.

In last week, I read some books bought from Net bookstores. Well, not Amazon or B&N, just local small bookstores sells tradChinese books. It costs me more than 1K for five books, and I wanna suggest two of them.

• Are You Lights On ? Donald C. Gause & Gerald M. Weinberg (tradChinese Brief Description)
• The Secrets of Consulting Gerald M. Weinberg (tradChinese Brief Description)

…..Sorry, I’m lazy to copy & paste these contents here; one is for respect of the difficulty of editing these words and sentences for mis-formatting.

And while after ate lunch today, I just surfing in the net meaningless. And I find some articles special and helpful.

1. Q&A of TCPA and Palladium. (English, tradChinese)
2. Zero Knowledge Proof (MIT, BSY)

God knows it !
I find the truth, there is always no enough time for work, no matter about Job, School affairs, even for Life. Sigh… the most important is how to evaluate and assign things-to-be-done correctly by importance and urgency.
But I don’t think this principle-to-obey is easy as a cake; in truth, I regard it as a rock.
……….
I cannot always express my feeling with no any advice for public, since I’m not famous, and who cares this small guy?
………
Therefore, I suggest one book, “Voodoo Science: The Road from Foolishness to Fraud“, written by Robert Park. There is also the trad-Chinese version, which is NT 250, not expensive. Here I post some advice of this great work.

Scientific error, says Robert Park, “has a way of evolving … from self-delusion to fraud. I use the term voodoo science to cover them all: pathological science, junk science, pseudoscience, and fraudulent science.” In pathological science, scientists fool themselves. Junk science refers to scientists who use their expertise to befuddle and mislead others (usually juries or lawmakers). Pseudoscience has the trappings of science without any evidence. Fraudulent science is, well, fraud–old-fashioned lying.

Park is well-acquainted with voodoo science in all its forms. Since 1982, he has headed the Washington, D.C., office of the American Physical Society, and he has carried the flag for scientific rationality through cold fusion, homeopathy, “Star Wars,” quantum healing, and sundry attempts to repeal the laws of thermodynamics. Park shows why a “disproportionate share of the science seen by the public is flawed” (because shaky science is more likely to skip past peer review and head straight for the media), and he gives a good tour of recent highlights in Voodoo. He has a rare ability to poke holes compassionately, without excoriating those taken in by their fondest wishes. Park is less forgiving of scientists (especially Edward Teller) when he thinks they’ve fallen down on the job, a job that should include helping the public separate the scientific wheat from the voodoo chaff. –Mary Ellen Curtin
