I’m glad that my fattest folder had a big weight loss session today.
A Museum of Video Games
We had a fun time at the Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment in Oakland, CA, aka the Video Game Museum. It made me think of my childhood, and the reason why I wanted to study computer science — making games.
Perfection Is A Goal, Not A Destination
My favorite quote of the day: perfection is a goal, not a destination, by my coworker Mark Gilbert.
Explanation: perfection is something that we should strive for everything every day, that’s how we get things done well. However, it’s impossible to be perfect at all times. Sometimes we reach 80%, sometimes 50%, sometimes 30%. Striving for perfection doesn’t mean we can’t make mistakes. We should not be too upset to move forward because of not achieving it, either. We should do our best to maintain a high quality consistently.

Do You Bike with A Raincoat?
I rode my bicycle to school when I grew up. Whenever it rained, I put on my raincoat — not exactly a coat, more like a big tarp with a hole where my head can get out — and still biked to school. Many people wore this kind, too. It protected me very well under “tarp”, I never really got wet wearing it.

Three Words to Make Up A Story
Jonathan, our Table Topics Master today at Toastmasters meeting, threw a really fun table topics party for us. He brought a bag of small pieces of paper, each with one word on it. Every table topics speaker picks three words, and use them to make up a story.
Wrap up 2016
One more day left in 2016. I wrote a quick summary for my 2016, just like last year and the year before. It’s in Chinese, so I recommend using Google Translate if you’d like to check it out: 《充满故事的2016年》
Glass Beach
It’s amazing that how the ocean magically touched and turned them into such beautiful treasure.
