Two incoming students
Booked a flat together
Without seeing each other before
He has a feminine name
She has a masculine name

Elusive ideas
Measured by expressions
Collapsed from possibilities

Few people have the time and patience to answer surveys, even when they do they might not provide genuine opinions (consciously or not), and the sampling is inherently biased.

A well designed system collects data and analyzes users on the go; just look at Google, Facebook, and Amazon.

Assassin’s Creed

The premise of this game is about bringing back one’s ancestral memory over centuries, which means I should not play it at all.

Asking for a favor

Hi Jun, Qi, and mamba:

You know what kinds of students I am looking for.

Some of the applicants might contact you about my advising style.
Please help me screen away those who are not suitable (e.g. sharing your painful SIGGRAPH experiences should be a good start).
They trust your words more than mine.

It is to your advantage to be surrounded by top players.
And the fewer students I have, the more time I can spend on each of you.
🙂

Thanks!
