C M W: January 2009
http://c-m-w.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Being the life of Cooper, and important issues according to him. Thursday, January 01, 2009. I don't about you, but I tend to get more excited the night before a journey than pretty much any other time. Christmas eve is cool, but it's not really a prelude to adventure in the same way that travel is. Maybe it helps when you're going somewhere you haven't been before. Learn something of the Southern Fujian dialect spoken by my friend's family. Grab some political propaganda for the Nationalist Party. And t...

C M W: The Mistakes Can Help
http://c-m-w.blogspot.com/2010/11/mistakes-can-help.html
Being the life of Cooper, and important issues according to him. Tuesday, November 16, 2010. The Mistakes Can Help. It strikes me that while answer sections in the back of the books are helpful, it can actually be beneficial for say, 2-3 percent of those answers to be mistakes. It not only keeps you thinking, it's also a reminder of the room for human error, and it also allows you the exhilaration of feeling that you got one up on the author of the textbook. On a related note, Wolfram Alpha.

C M W: November 2008
http://c-m-w.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Being the life of Cooper, and important issues according to him. Monday, November 03, 2008. The end of the semester has almost arrived, and I've only got one essay left (maybe more regular blogging will resume? If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate some feedback. In the meantime, I've finally got time (which I've probably had all along, but.) to get back to the East Asian section of the library so I might be able to do some write-ups on some Chinese novels I've been having a go at.

lil blue tiger's den 小藍虎洞: September 2009
http://lilbluetigersden.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Lil blue tiger's den 小藍虎洞. Wednesday, September 23, 2009. The stress definitely starts to build as I realize that anatomy class is just as confusing as the french class I had last night. With no background in anatomy, this in some way resembles a different language to me. Tuesday, September 22, 2009. Monday, September 21, 2009. Let the studying begin! The strong smell of aldehyde in the anatomy lab? The lack of specific textbooks I can refer to? The interviewing of patients each week? Only time will tell.

C M W: Riffing on The 13th Floor v The Matrix
http://c-m-w.blogspot.com/2010/11/riffing-on-13th-floor-v-matrix.html
Being the life of Cooper, and important issues according to him. Monday, November 15, 2010. Riffing on The 13th Floor v The Matrix. I assume here, kind reader, that you've at least seen The Matrix, so if you have not.then there may be a spoiler here. I won't spoil any important details for The 13th Floor though as few people have seen it. So I recently watched The 13th Floor again, since first seeing it probably 10 years ago (I'd heard it mentioned in a brilliant podcast that I listen to. And then procee...

C M W: The Biggest Problem With The Internet
http://c-m-w.blogspot.com/2010/11/biggest-problem-with-internet.html
Being the life of Cooper, and important issues according to him. Tuesday, November 16, 2010. The Biggest Problem With The Internet. The comments sections in TED videos and the more serious Youtube videos are often full of weirdos. Neurotic, abusive, weirdos. It's probably the biggest problem with the internet. Related to, but separate from, the uncivilized manner in which people interact with each other. Or does the internet just get filled with the shouting of a vocal minority? 8:59 am, November 19, 2010.

Being the life of Cooper, and important issues according to him. Wednesday, May 06, 2009. A Most Brilliant Apparatus. It might be implicit in this posting, or the gap between this and the last post: nothing too exciting has been happening for the past month or so, though I have been reading more than I think I ever have before at any time in my life. I'll probably write a bit about that soon, but I'd like to make sure I have something to say before I do. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

C M W: “My Life In…”
http://c-m-w.blogspot.com/2011/02/my-life-in.html
Being the life of Cooper, and important issues according to him. Friday, February 18, 2011. 8220;My Life In…”. I met up with a good friend the other day, who had just returned from a trip to China. We spoke about the effect that life in China has on foreigners. She described a family of missionaries who have grown arrogant and condescending towards to Chinese people over the course of years spent living in Beijing. I know what she meant. How do different countries draw different types of people? You can ...
