Monster DLP

For the second year in a row, I attended the Monster DLP as a sponsor. It was an extremely exhausting, but fun and rewarding weekend.  We lead a group of 46 college students on the Mercer team, did various activities from spontaneous dancing to career preparation.  Our students created a Mercer chant and screamed it

New Computer

I got a new computer. It’s amazing how fast NewEgg sends out its orders.  Even with the cheapest shipping method, the stuff arrived at my door after only one full business day.  Maybe it helps to live one hour away from their warehouse in Edison, NJ. So this was the first time in over four years that

Medieval Kings Chess II

During the past month, I spent most of my subway rides playing the Medieval Kings Chess II on my Blackberry.  There are five difficulty levels: King Author (Beginner) Frederick II (Easy) Charlemagne (Medium) S. Mehmed II (Hard) Will the Conq. (Very Hard) Gengis Khan (Master) Since I never really touched chess after high school, the “easy”

Randy Pausch’s Last Lecture

Randy Pausch, the CMU professor who gave the famous last lecture last year, has just passed away. Coworker Ming told me about this lecture and I watched the entire video in one sitting.

PS3 & Dynasty Warriors 6

A few weeks ago, I got a Playstaion 3.  This is my first current-generation video game console in 12 years.  Compared to my PS2 Slim, it’s a monsterous beast. After buying my PS2 last summer and Dreamcast near the end of college, I had no patience to wait for a second-hand PS3 in the PS4 era.  It’s

Wall-E

Wall-E is yet another cute & hilarious Disney-Pixar masterpiece, and its storyline is one of the very best so far – on par with Finding Nemo and the two Toy Story classics. I saw this with Phil and Julia over the opening weekend.  Coming out of the theater, I was speechless.  So I dragged Hong to see

Blog is Back

After a long period of inactivity due to study schedule, followed by server upgrades which seriously messed up stuff, I was finally able to pay some attention to kingofmath.com again.   So the blog is back with a brand-new look.  b2 had served me well, but it was approaching five years old, not to mention how
