Who's the Scientist? →

I used to dream to become a scientist but I didn’t have a chance to meet and talk with a real one. How is a scientist in your eyes? Here are descriptions of seventh graders about scientists before and after a visit to Fermilab. For example, Jess wrote: Before: To me a scientist is a man who works hard in his lab examining liquid and chemicals. He has a long white coat open. He is...

Inspired by xkcd →

Who is the most influential person on the internet? That argument could go on for years. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs certainly get people to buy things. Larry Page and Sergey Brin are the men behind the omnipresent Google. Moot, the founder of 4chan, topped TIME’s Most Influential Person poll. It could easily be argued that one guy with a pencil has the strange power to make things...

Change

After 3 years of using Tumblr (http://log.ninhnv.com/archive), I have set up several ones for different kinds of content. My main tumblr (http://log.ninhnv.com) used to focus on tech-related posts but now I just decide to change. All my tech-related sharing will be posted to my posterous (http://post.ninhnv.com) and leave this Tumblr for something more personal, more inspirational, more Vietnamese...

xanhxanh: Sự thật là có những lúc mình cảm giác như mình có thể lấy bản đồ Hà Nội ra, khoanh vùng lại, từng ngõ ngách, từng con hẻm rồi leo lên xe, rồi tìm kiếm cho đến khi nào đứng trước mặt cái con người lạnh lùng đó! Mình sẽ quát, sẽ dửng dưng hay khóc ròng mà nói rằng: này cái con người kia, tôi đã thích anh đến mức này, sao anh cứ mãi dửng dưng như thế? Thật xấu hổ :| Why? Why shame...

Why Not Having a Plan Can Be the Best Plan of All... →

This weekend I went back to Princeton University, where I was a student over twenty years ago, to give a speech. As I traveled to the campus I remembered a single question that haunted my last few months of schooling: now what? I had no good answer. I didn’t have a job. I didn’t have a plan. Which, as it turns out, might have been a pretty good plan after all.
