Everyone seems to have a blog. Well, everyone except for me. So here is my go at it and I hope it's not a total disappointment to you. I guess I cannot say that I have *never* had a blog nor do I currently not have anything similar to a blog because I post from time to time on my Facebook wall or the notes section within the site, but I think it's not the same as having a real blog. Even the blog like LiveJournal website I had when I was studying for my masters degree couldn't really be considered a blog since it was private except for those I gave access to.
Actually, in the past I was set against blogs because I figured there was already enough "noise" out there on the web to not further pollute it with my own words. Still, at times there are things I'd like to share with others and hear their take on it. So why not take the plunge and give it a go? Less than a year ago I had considered having my own personal website (which I still may do and thus write about my experience here) but I guess that website will be more like a professional website related to my academic career. I need another space where I can be freer in my discussion of topics. Somewhere in between a professional website and a social networking site: this blog could be it.
My blog should have some focus or otherwise it will just be a meaningless collection of links, words, and regurgitation of others' words. Since I'm living in one of the big technology centers of the world, Taiwan, and my PhD work is greatly related to technology, that would be a good place to start. My PhD work's focus is on technology and the classroom, especially for Internet based individualized learning. So from time to time I may also post my comments or opinions related to the software that has been developed and released by students and researchers in my lab. I would also like to write a little bit about some experiments I'm conducting or ideas for future research as well. I can't guarantee that I'll not go off on tangents from time to time but I hope mostly to stay on topic.
I'll try my best to get my hands on the newest technologies and post my reactions and feedback along the way. I already have my hands on an iPhone 3G and the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1. So you can expect some upcoming posts related to these two toys. I also have an interest in learning more about the stock market since if I keep pursing a future as an educator I need to find out a method to make some real money: being in education is most likely not going to guarantee this. Lastly I have plans to review certain software packages and social networking websites. I hope that there will be a few faithful readers of my blog and I welcome comments and questions related to my posts.

Dear Allen,
You can subscribe to the blog in several ways. One is Google reader, through your Google e-mail account. Another is to RSS subscribe to the posts through your RSS reader. You can also track the blog by clicking on "Follow" with Google friend connect.
Let me know if you still have problems.
Dear PHA,
The best solution to your problem is to open another free g-mail account. With Google Gmail, you can input all your POP (that is accounts from an internet service provider [ISP] or university/company) as well as other free e-mails such as Yahoo! I know it may seem like a pain to do this but this will be the easiest way to solve your problem. As far as facebook is concerned, I'd suggest you to just have your emails from facebook forwarded to your gmail. If you have those contacts e-mails in your gmail contacts, it will be easy to reply to them from within gmail by simply pressing "reply" in your gmail and replacing the reply address with the one in your gmail contacts. Hope I've helped.
