Hell! It's about time!

How many times have I attempt at writing something? I lost track of it. This is me trying to re-initiate my blog with various topics. Hopefully, this time I have the persistence to provide my readers with something interesting.

What does this blog have to offer?

• theories and discoveries from me
• financial market observations
• Starcraft II (perhaps?)
• some Chinese posts - the posts will be translated into English if they are originally written in Chinese
• interesting links and references - on your right side

What do I want to get out of this?

• me, me, me - it's not often that one can talk without caring too much about the listener
• writing in English - English is my second language and I want to learn to do this well. Please forgive me for the grammatical errors. I'll proofread as much as I can.
• express ideas - I love sharing my discoveries, from tiny to huge
• connect with perspective and prospective friends online - feel free to leave comments :)

2010Q4 Objective

Some interesting facts in designing this blog

I admit that this is the first time I am serious about keeping a blog, so all these may sound rudimentary to you, but bear with me and you may find something fun.

• the top photo as of today was taken by me in Eugene, Oregon. You can find that location on Google Maps
• the warmer background and a colder colour scheme are chosen to establish a quiet atmosphere for the reader
• most common display resolutions are 1680*1050 and 1280*800 as of 2010, so I figure you can see the whole width without scrolling (let me know if not)
• the length and the width of each section are set to golden ratio.
• no, I am not going to introduce myself, because I suck with job interviews :D
