Jokes

Few jokes on the subject of math/science that I thought was amusing (you’re probably a nerd if you find these funny):

There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, those who do not, and 8 other types.

 

Rene Descartes walks into a bar. The barman says ‘May I help you sir?’, Descartes replies ‘I think not.’ and promptly vanishes.

 

Why do computer scientists always confuse Halloween and Christmas?

Because OCT31 equals DEC25 (props to you, nerd, if you get this joke)

 

Heisenberg is speeding down the road, and a cop pulls him over. The cop says “Sir, do you have any idea how fast you were going?” Heisenberg says “No, but i know exactly where i am.”

 

What did the mathematician say after Thanksgiving dinner?
sqrt(-1/64)

Newfound

One of the newfound joys that I have encountered recently is the joy of intellectual empathy. To be able to talk to, brainstorm with, and even enjoy a simple joke with people who are at your intellectual level is simply revitalizing. Man I LOVE talking with smart people (yes I am insinuating that I am smart), and know that they know what you are talking about instantly, that you grasp each other’s concepts immediately, feels so good.

 

woot

Whoa

Nevermind. I was given privilege to access and edit every single database and directory for my hedge fund company.

Quite a responsibility for a puny intern.

Works still fun, learning more than one can imagine every day.

Tomorrow off cause its veteran’ s day. yay~~~~

Interning

Hedge fund intern, just a massive amount of number crunching, since I dont really have

finance skills specialed enough to efficiently manipulate microsoft excel/access and bloomberg.

its fun using 4 monitors to manipulate data though, and just surfing through bloombergs pretty fun too.

been working 11 hours 2 days in a row, not really stressful though, just a lot of grunt work and data manipulation.

Hopefully as I get familiarized with the tools and environment, Ill start doing more sophisticated work.

Ill report back again soon.

Sooo….

Interview done, waiting to hear back from them, I do sincerely hope they hire me, so I can work 12 hours a day and stop wasting my life away doing jack shit.

Oh yeah, I lost about 6 pounds of fat and gained about 3 pounds of muscle, all thanks to a diet consisting mostly of chicken breast and vegetables and black coffee, occasionally grape fruit. Working out again and doing both aerobic and anaerobic exercises reminded me of the times (in high school) when I used to be really fit, and Im gonna shoot for about 190 pound body weight after shedding 5 more pounds of fat. Right now Im at 183~185, so should be a reachable goal if I keep this up for another two, three months.

Anyways, Im off to shower (since I havent in two days) then work out / run then shower again.. Bye.

his arm and give him dead arm, see how him and his manager reacts haha sweet stuff

Disturbing Discovery

You know whats REALLY not cool? searching your unique username into google and being flooded by all the past sites and forums and personal blogs and websites that you registered for/wrote in. I just had to delete my xanga site from 2001, and my korean blogs dating back to 1999. Probably wasnt a very good idea to use a very unique username for all my internet activities.

If you use a unique username for all your internet uses, go search it in google. You’ll be unpleasantly surprised.

Also, because I commented on a lot of other people’s entries using my own blog name, you’ll find that a lot of your websites will come up also when you search MY username into google. SCARY HUH?


Help!

Who has a source to/familiarity with problem-solving questions during interviews?

Questions like: how many golf balls can fit in a boeing, how to make a market with a deck of cards, probability in acey deucy, stuff like that?

if you know any questions like these, contact me asap, i need to practice for my interview!!

Well well

Since a lot of my noob 2nd gen gooks didnt know how to handle all the korean associated with tistory blogs, and because Ive had a sudden urge to do so, here it is, my wordpress blog. Basically, I think Ill be updating with short posts every 2,3 days.

Right now, whats happening in my life is: Im taking a year off, and next week I got an interview with a pretty well-known hedge fund company. Hedge fund is basically an alternate investment firm that deal with handling and making a lot of money. If I land the internship, Ill be basically working full time, like 8 to 6 every day, making a lot of moneyand absorbing a lot of crucial, real world know-hows and information. Ill keep you guys posted on that.

 

Besides that, no real exciting events are happening right now. Ill keep you posted though.

P.S. my girlfriend is the best
