After New Years

Today, I went back to work. First day after a five week holiday. I don't regret how I spent my five weeks off. It was good. Lots of self reflection and getting back in touch with friends.

So, we went ahead and visited mom for a few minutes, then I took my very first piano lesson. My aunt is teaching me and I am looking forward to every lesson.

In other news, some people are just plain childish. And there is no point in being angry over a child. They don't know any better.

My Future Career.

In this essay, I would like to describe my thought process leading to my future career choice. I want to be a biorobotics engineer. The decision to choose biorobotics as a career was not made overnight, but months of contemplating on key points, ultimately helping me conclude that this is the profession I want to dedicate my life to. These points include my interests in robotics and biology as I developed into a young adult, the definition of biorobotics and key area that attracted me to the field, and the unlimited opportunity in what I hope to achieve in a career as a biorobotics engineer. First, growing up, I was fascinated by robots. My father, an electrical engineer, bought me toys such Transformers, and immersed me in books about robots such as the Maxx Steele series; my affection for robots continued as a teenager with mecha-based Japanese anime, such as the series Evangelion . From elementary to highschool, I was also very interested in biology, I loved the study of bacter

Turkey. A Travel Log.

Remnants of a magnificent city past is what makes Istanbul. The Byzantine empire defined area for a little over a millennia and a half before the Ottomans took it. Don't get me wrong Istanbul is amazing in its own right as manifested by the Turks, but just imagine what Constantinople was like at its peak. Stories of a city embossed in gold, aristocrats and scholars strolling about the streets engaging in intellectual dialogue, supernatural events occurring on the regular. You don't see that anymore (for obvious reasons) but what saddens me is the ruins left behind by the Eastern Roman [Christian] empire were no longer sacred nor properly preserved by the current government. There were instances where some remains of a fortress or palace were being used as a garbage dump, graffiti etched forever onto a millennia old structure. Despite this, I was still able to appreciate all that was left behind by the Romans (read Byzantines).  Day 1. We went as a family. Yulia, Sofia and I. Af

Fat Burger.

I ordered the original fat burger and sat down. As I munched on fat burger goodness, across the street I observed an abundance of residential and commercial growth along the Brentwood / Lougheed Highway corridor. Something big is happening and it's happening right here in this very area. I then started thinking about Intel. I remember watching this documentary on the birth of Intel (the chip r&d / manufacturing firm); the film traced the history of its core founders Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore. Moore, as the common nerd would know, is credited for theorizing Moore's Law; a law that states the number of transistors on a microprocessor doubles about every two years (although evolution of the microprocessor is now reaching its apex). And Noyce, is often credited for inventing the integrated circuit (along with Jack Kilby). Their firm, prior to Intel was Fairchild Semiconductors, a company believed to have jump-started the growth of Silicon Valley. Anyway, before I go off o
