Maoxian’s Top Ten Links — January 26, 2007

  1. Creative Solution to a Problem in Elementary Physics Class (image)

    2. I’d give the student partial credit… and you’d never see this kind of answer in a Chinese school.

  2. Engine Failure on Takeoff, Boeing 777 (Photo)

    3. Great shot.

  3. Chinese Aircraft Maintenance

    4. There’s some controversy about these pictures, but anyone who lives here would never question their veracity.

  4. Weight Watchers Patent

    5. p = c k 1 + f k 2 - r k 3.

  5. When driving in China, first know where to spit

    6. Drivers should:

    A. Deliberately underestimate each other.

    B. Compete for road supremacy.

    C. Learn and help each other, adopt one’s strong point while overcoming one’s weak point and keep safely driving.

    I don’t drive here and I resent the fact that bikes have utterly lost the battle for road supremacy.

  6. David Seah’s Printable CEO™ Series

    7. I’m fascinated by these GTD (Getting Things Done) nutters. They must spend 90% of their time planning and recording the things they do leaving about 10% of the time for actually doing things.

  7. Web 2.0 Company Name Generator

    8. “Bubbletag,” I love it. A 2.0 version of Dack’s great web economy bullshit generator.

  8. Another Neat Find on Google Maps

    9. Is this just an illusion or was she constructed with a little help?

  9. Famous People: Childhood Photos

    10. Proof that Angelina Jolie’s lips are real.

  10. Norah Jones, Now in Her Own Words

    11. “If people enjoy the music, great. And if they don’t like it, and they think it’s boring, fine. They don’t get it. But it doesn’t matter anymore if I’m completely understood. Because you’re not going to be. And you’re never going to please everybody, so you shouldn’t try.”

    My wife does find Norah Jones’ music incredibly boring, but both baby and I have enjoyed watching her Live in New Orleans DVD about a hundred times.

    Photo #9 is incorrect, I believe. Unless a young Angelina Jolie was into organizing shopping carts in a circular fashion …

    Todd: Fixed, thanks. You’re quick, do you read this site’s feed in a reader?

    I don’t know what you mean by “in a reader” ? If you mean do I subscribe to your blog through a feed - then no.

    I do get up oftentimes VERY early in the morning - as in - 2:30 to 3 AM. I’m one of those people who gets by on 5 hours of sleep.

    So I guess I just see it before anyone else.

    Hi Maoxian

    I am really curious to know how one would say “Irrational Exuberance” or “Blind optimism” in Chineses, so I can use that expression in the coming year, Chinese characters and phoenetics. I think China is going to grow hugely in the coming decade(s), but right now maybe the stock market is ahead of itself, as exemplified in the I. Herald Tribune article. Thanks

    Lauriston: The phonetics for “blind optimism” are “mang mu le guan” (aigaogao kindly provided the characters). I also don’t know a good translation for “irrational exuberance” but I’ll ask around and post another comment when I have a good one.

    Up and down, i don’t think the public euphoria will give up easily. And see, *definitely* educational. I am learning already :)

    John F: It sounds more like “spinning one’s wheels.”
