心得: 跟著單車社殺山路

今天是入社以來第一次跟單車社的同學們出去騎車。因為自己只有學生車,只好借社車。騎好車殺山路豈止一個爽自可以形容!過去都是自己一個人,沒技巧,騎便 宜的登山車,靠蠻力,又騎又牽車的。現在車好、變速好,再加上有技巧的踩踏和新的觀念,輕輕鬆鬆,不必下來牽車就殺上去了。中途下車的路段,除了是大家集 體休息或等候面的同學外也只有拍照時才會下車。

「騎山路上坡路段,不要勉強自己,慢慢騎就好了。」
其實我過去最缺乏的,就是要「保持體力」的觀念吧!過去都是用蠻力硬踩,快速耗費體力,踩踏又沒效率,不但一下子就累了,大部分的能量也是平白的浪費掉了。

另 外,以前都覺得能在陡坡尚祈車繼續踩踏前進而不必牽車的人很厲害;其實是靠「好車」的加持才做的到的(當然,若在山坡上還能用高速檔前進那就太強了)。 「好車」騎起來真的感覺很棒。檔位多,變速反應極快,煞車靈敏,車價輕……只是一萬塊以上的價格真的很恐怖。但這下真正體會到consumer report雜誌所說的:「若要買車絕不要在低價大賣場(discount store)買!」

好啊!明天學生車衝鶯歌!

Biochem HW of Oct 21

1. How many kinds of different protein folds may be produced by a protein coil/chain with 5 pairs(a total of 10) of sulfhydryl groups?

and the HW of Tue is here
(or just look further down the page...)
(重要:please click the comment link)

段考期~~

最近考試一科接著一科到來
人體在壓力下免疫力是會下降的
再加上東北季風
很容易感冒
大家要保重身體呵

(expecially you..., if you are reading)

心情: 學校的課外活動...

奇怪,學校的課外活動總喜歡辦在段考前後。
難道是說是我們考段考的time range拉得太長,
以致於主辦單位隨便挑都會衝到考試?
但以這次的「醉月湖音樂會」和上個學期的「藝術節」為例,
都是在段考2週前啊。
難道是以「閒人才能參加」為條件,避免人數過多?
不會吧?人少就沒意義啦!

好吧,實在想不出什麼合理的解釋。

像我這個段考時間各科打散的人應該就是所謂的「閒人」吧!
只是,「閒人」不多,根據上次去聽「藝術節」的音樂會的經驗,
其實孤單一個人去也怪無聊的。
人類果然是群體動物...

~~ㄟ,我現在還在blog不就代表我太閒了?糟糕~~

Comments: On our biochem class, *sigh...

Just read the first 3 chapters of the biochem text book. (will, of course not every single word...) And I must say, Biochem is quite an intresting part of science, if it isn't for that guy who teaches poorly and totally screwed it up. Yes, it's not only intresting, it's a hot topic, and still developing, helping the advancement of biology and medicine and eclipcing traditional chemistry. In the words of the Wired magazine, Biochem is still wired, but that guy is tired. I guess I'd be reading the book myself in the future, and attending class just to know what's going into the exams and what's next week's home work.

You may be good at research, but if you are not intrested in teaching or find it annoying, then quit, just do the "glorious research" of yours. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Biochem HW of Oct 19

1.課本:
ch2: 2,3,8,16
ch3: 10,12,14

2.Why in SDS-page the small molecules come out first while in gel filtration the small molecules come out last, although they both utilize polyacrylamide gel.
(Tip: check the difference of their sieving effect. SDS-page 在課本p92; gel filtration=Size-exclusion chromatography, 在課本p90~91)

3. Polystyrene resin is a strong cation exchanger, what is it's structure? How does it bind with a sulfonic acid group?
(Tip: check the Merck Index, or search the trademarks: "Bio-Rad AG 50" or "Dowex 50")

4.the problem on the handout p11~Arrange the order of elution...

5. The structure of Ninhydrin?
(Icetimerの更正:The structure of Ninhydrin and how it reacts with NH2 of amine)
(anyways, 我也漏了後半題但我印完了, 算了)

*星期四給那張練習題の解答
*And I still don't know where!
------------------------
alright, if I want to learn some stuff, I need to forget how bad he teaches; but focus on what I can get from him, no matter how less.
But hay, he's better this time!

Great boost of free e-mail space

Since Google came out with the ultimate G-mail beta
which provides 1Gig mail storage for free
it suddenly became every free e-mail provider's pain in the ass
and then there was a big frenzy of free storage space up grades
first it was Yahoo mail, which grew from 5MB(or 6? I forgot) to 100MB
then Hotmail, from 2MB(or 3? I don't use Hotmail, I'm not sure) to 250MB
And then all along G-mail is still in beta
So thank Google for making other companies provide better service ^^

Alright, now what surprises me is that
with no hype, no publicity,
My Netscape mail is silently upgraded from 5MB to 250MB!!
And Netscape mail's site still says 5MB!!

Which reminds me of my Yahoo mail upgrade
Yahoo mail users of the whole world got the upgrade in about early July (I guess)
While Yahoo Taiwan said we should wait till the end of August.
When I saw the news, I was a little mad at first (since I also use a Yahoo Taiwan account)
And I logged on Yahoo mail to check
What I found was some kind of glich or something,
but I got the upgrade just as fast as the users in the US
while all the other friends using Yahoo Taiwan's mail was still stuck with single digit MBs!!

Although I don't have a G-mail invitation
I guess I'm always the lucky ones who get the early upgrades (lol)

But really, I rarely use more then 7MB of my Yahoo account (which I use the most)

Thought: Learning in this age

Just got a thought...

when you have questions on your studies
there are always those guys with photographic memory
who can give you an answer to your questions right away

But when ever people come and ask me
I'd usually say
"Wait, I guess I've saw that some where..."
or
"I think I know where to find the answer..."
once I learned something
I don't remember a lot of stuff in detail
but I remember where to find it

wonder which is better?
knowing where to get what you want? or photographic memory?

but of course, I can only play my trick in this age...
I mean, if I live in an age without libraries or google
I'd certeinly be trash...

On music software

Have been using Sony's Sonicstage instead of Apple's iTunes for the past weak
just for the eye candy...
I admit that iTunes is still the best in ease of use and functionality
but after using it for a year
I guess I'm a little sick and tired of that "brushed metal" look

Looking for new stuff to play with
I even downloaded Windows media Player 10
2 days ago
it was quite fun, with color changer and play speed changers
And I thought:
This is a Real player killer
But anyways, even if Windows media Player 10 didn't come out
I guess that crap would just die by itself...

After 2 hours, I decided that it still isn't easy enough to use
and despite the color changer and stream lined user interface
I still like the look of Sonicstage
LOL
Sony does know how to make eye candy's
and the easy of use is good--only Apple can do better

心情: Trying not to think about it...

Oh boy
I guess I have a tendancy to think too much when I'm alone
and usually thinking about bad things

Funny that I can seem all that happy and optimistic in front of others
But extreamly melancholy on my own

Joined the bike club today
just to find more friends
and find stuff to do on the weekends
cycling with others seems healthier then moaning for yourself alone in the library
busy doing something would let me forget about it...
at least while I'm doing it...
which means I could be temporally be happy for a while
expecially bike riding or swimming(like I did yesterday)
feeling the speed of the air or the water flowing past me
Guess I'm using the feel of speed for what people use drugs for-- to forget about the sad stuff
Speedaholic I am.

Speaking of addictions
The volume of my clie(which I use as a walkman) is constantly rising
frequency of listen also rising...
musicaholic I am, also.

Damn, why can't I just enjoy life?

隨筆亂寫: 年輕

缺乏經驗,知識不足
除了多多吸收,努力成長外
只能憑著認真的態度
和一股衝勁
揮灑青春的活力
闖出自己的一片天。

Hate post: What an asshole!

今天那傢伙(who?我同學都知道吧!但在網路上指名罵人是會被告的...所以還是不要指名是誰, 發洩一下情緒就好)真的超臭屁的
教的不好, 人人嫌, 竟然還能那麼臭屁?!

為何說他臭屁?
See for your self.
What he said today:
"...好那這樣大家懂嗎?
什麼?不懂? 那我也沒辦法啦.
這麼簡單的東西也不懂, 是怎麼進臺大的?
...
你們浪費我太多時間了, 我還有很多是要做!"

什麼?教我們是浪費你的時間?
既然你那麼偉大, 時間那麼寶貴, 那就不要來開課, 去做你的偉大事業好了
反正也沒幾個學生覺得你教的好.

Today's Biochem HW ~ Oct 14

心情: Tonight...

Have been anticipating tonight for days
But things just don't go the way you want them to

With this suddenly obtained free time
I suddenly don't know what to do
since I don't assign 2 tasks to the same time period

Went to renew my swimming pass for another year
I guess there's no better way to pick your self up when you feel down

After some physics problems(for the next day's damn test)
I went to the pool and dive in
And rats, I feel weak after not swimming for the past month
Right foot hurting from yesterday's bike ride
Left leg's gastrocnemius also starting to hurt because it's keeping up with the Joans...
But so much is going on in my mind that I not only forgot about it but can't even swim in a stright line, bumping left into people and right to the lean dividers
Hay, what's going on with me?

Oh boy, so much for "the big day"
Once again, all I can do is keep on waiting

Maybe I am a fool...

心情:big day for me I guess

This is it, don't freak out at the last moment again...

Didn't some one said: " If you play it safe in life, you've decided that you don't want to grow anymore."?

Wish me luck, if you are a friend who knows what's going on... :p

Comment: Are we a SINGLE organism?

Wow, never thought of that, but we could actually be seen as an "aggregate" of organisms, instead of simplly one organism. Why? Because we have all sorts of bacteria, fungi and other organisms living in our body. And the strange part is that we only have several trillion human cells in our body, while the bacteria cells in our body has a population of more than 100 trillion cells - many times more than human cells. So we really should inclulde the other residents when we mention a "human body". Although revolutionary, but it's a quite simple thought. Neat, isn't it? Now, again, why we haven't thought about that before?

See: Wired News: People Are Human-Bacteria Hybrid
And hold your chin tight--in case you're so surprised that it falls to the ground.
