Macaronics and Cheese: April 24, 2013

Princeton, NJ
There’s a reason JKC’s nickname is “Stubbornly Wonderful.”
It’s because when I say, “I’ll be arriving late, so don’t
make dinner, we’ll just order a pizza,” he interprets that
as, “Prepare a salmon and vegetable platter to grill as
soon as she walks in the door.”

Tributaries: Prezi Poem

Prezi Poem Prezi is this fancy new alternative to the traditional power point. I haven’t fully investigated it yet since I don’t usually use visual aids during my presentations, but it seems like there is a lot of potential for creativity, which is neat. Recently, prezi had a competition which involved folks creating a presentation in coordination with a TEDtalk. Someone made this really awesome one from mine! Click the image to see it in full.

Tributaries: Raffles

Raffles Girls SchoolToday Phil and I visited Raffles Girls School in Singapore and were overwhelmed with gifts. So many letters and drawings and packages! I couldn’t scan all of them, but these were some of my favorite. The top is a folder that a bunch of girls made for me, taken from a line of “Postcards.” The second is a drawing by Hu Jun Yi which is exciting because I’ve never been an anime character before. The bottom two are both by Sophia Kim Chi, and I love them. I especially love how creepy the one without faces is, and how accurate the hair is. The line that is quoted is from our duet poem, “An Origin Story.” Plus, a personalized Pokemon cartoon? Too cool. (Although in real life, I’m the same height as Phil, despite my Pokemon avatar’s diminutive size!)
