A face lift of my blog

My philosophy of blogging has always been minimalist. Text only. Maybe some pictures once a while. Definitely no links or crazy embedded youtube videos.

Time changes, so I decides to modernize my blog a little bit. I put up a section called "iFriends" where I put links to my friends' blogs. I put up another section called "iShare" to link to my favorite video clips, be it from Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert. The new Blogger also allows me to have a more organized "iArchive" section. In rare occasions, I might link to other sites, but that would be minimal. To be honest, I do not see this blog change too much. If I really want to get fancy, I would simply start another blog. That would be silly.

So how am I doing? Pretty good, actually. I get up 6:15am almost every morning. After morning exercises, I eat breakfast before I start working. My work schedule is quite flexible, so I begin to learn all sorts of stuff: MySQL, Python, Wiki, Excel, Powerpoint, R. I am very much stimulated by learning new things. Back home at night, I would just watch a DVD or some PBS documentaries. LIfe is very orderly, and I enjoy it very much. Some day I think I will blog my co-workers. Hope they wouldn't google my name and accidentally find my blog, hehe...

I will try to publish the last chapter of my dissertation in this blog soon, so my readers, if interested, will get some ideas of what I have been working on for so many years. (One reader asked me for the dissertation draft. Well, first of all, it has not been finalized yet. Second, I do not want to bore you with all 150 pages. So read the concluding chapter, and then decide whether you want to waste more time reading a doctoral thesis). I am going to meet with my advisor tomorrow for some feedbacks.

After I started working, my weekends have become more interesting. Now I really feel the taste of weekends because it is very precious. Last weekend, I went to a friend's party on Friday. Played football video game most of the time. Saturday, I went to watch a dance performance. Sunday, I watched a puppet show in the afternoon and a dance show by Bent Spoon, of which I used to be a member and choreographed my own dance piece. It was nice to see all dancer friends, hugging and greeting, all big smiles.
