When people ask me about my (former) career, what I usually tell them:
I spent 25 years in Tech, enjoyed endless entertainment, and for a while it brought me a pretty decent living. Despite all this, if there were somehow a magical Big Red Button that would erase the Internet from existence (and memory,) I would smash that button without a second’s hesitation.

- Comment on Scientists "break impossible Century-Old Physics Barrier" with this new research 2 months ago:
A joint team from POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology) and Jeonbuk National University has shown that mechanical waves can be fully trapped inside a single solid resonator. Many researchers thought this was "theoretically impossible" in compact systems. The work was published on April 3 in Physical Review Letters and focuses on bound states in the continuum, or BIC, where waves stay trapped and do not lose energy, even though, in a continuum, there are paths for them to escape.
