From Gretchen Rubin's blog, The Happiness Project.
I'm working on a book, THE HAPPINESS PROJECT--a memoir about the year I spent test-driving every principle, tip, theory, and scientific study I could find, whether from Aristotle or St. Therese or Martin Seligman or Oprah. THE HAPPINESS PROJECT will gather these rules for living and report on what works and what doesn’t. On this daily blog, I recount some of my adventures and insights as I grapple with the challenge of being happier. THE HAPPINESS PROJECT will hit the shelves in late 2009 (HarperCollins).

No One Can Touch Her
While looking at some Longstreet videos with Bruce Lee at youtube, I noticed that komodragon, the guy who uploaded the videos, also uploaded the movie No One Can Touch Her. Also known as 13 Evil Bandits and Against Drunken Cat's Paws. This is a chop-socky flick starring Chia Ling aka Judy Lee. I guess she was never a huge star as I can't find her in Bey Logan's book Hong Kong Action Cinema. But it looked just funky enough to give to Joyce as a present.
Unfortunately, I don't see it on DVD at Amazon.com, but only some highly priced video tapes.
Looking around, I don't see that many Judy Lee movies. One candidate is Shaolin Invincibles which is available at Amazon. She's not the star of this movie, but the review sounds quite promising.

Here's another candidate while browsing the Dragon Dynasty website. My Young Auntie. They have a few videos on youtube. Dragon Dynasty has now released the classic female kung fu movie, Come Drink With Me. Heroes of the East also looks interesting. And more.

Who Is Stef Wertheimer?
Early on, Stef Wertheimer, the founder of Iscar Metalworking, a manufacturer of industrial precision metal-cutting tools, decided that entrepreneurship was an answer to social and economic problems.
During the 1980s, Wertheimer spent four years as a member of the Knesset, Israel's Parliament. It was there that he came to the conclusion that he could accomplish more through industry and entrepreneurship than he ever could through government or politics. An early social entrepreneur (see BusinessWeek.com, 12/14/07), he launched his flagship industrial park, Tefen, based on his belief that creating jobs and economic prosperity in the Middle East would diffuse conflicts. Sitting in his office overlooking the Galilee, he says: "What makes peace? The answer is jobs."

The Last Lecture
The Lessons I'm Leaving Behind
By Randy Pausch
At many colleges, professors are asked to give a “last lecture.” In this talk, they ruminate on what matters most to them. As they speak, audiences mull the same question: What wisdom would you impart to the world if you knew it was your last chance?
Last year, I agreed to give a last lecture at Carnegie Mellon University, where I’m a professor in the computer science department. A few weeks later, I learned that I had only months to live—I was dying of pancreatic cancer.
I knew I could cancel. I have three young children, I’m married to Jai, the woman of my dreams, and there were so many things to be done. But by speaking, I knew I could put myself in a bottle that would one day wash up on the beach for my children, Dylan, Logan and Chloe. Here’s what I want to share.

Watch Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese Drama and Movies online at mysoju.com.
[12/27/11] I was playing around with the Roku yesterday at Best Buy. Not bad, though it sometimes pauses for long periods of time (I assume because of internet traffic and/or buffering). Anyway one of the choices was kdrama (korean drama). Looking it up on the internet now, it's not generally available for viewing over the internet, but as an Apple app.
