  • A reply on Talk: ShaoLan: Learn to read Chinese ... with ease!

    May 8 2013: Even 奻 is a rarely used character in Chinese. It may become a common one because of social network or interject. I have seen this kind of Chinese characters in Chinese social network. Many rarely used Chinese come to alive because of their means or form, spread by people on web.

    A comment on Talk: Steven Addis: A father-daughter bond, one photo at a time

    Dec 20 2012: I don't mean to endorse Apple here. This is my personal story. Each year our family have to think hard to prepare Christmas gifts and spend time shopping. We never think about that we already have something invaluable on our hands. Two months ago, one of family's relative was here with us. We went to Banff national park and took a lots of photos. After her left, I am planing to visit her for my coming vacation. As a special gift, I created a photo book from Mac's iPhoto. I received it in about 4 days. The book is so beautiful. I am going to give her this special travel book. I am sure that it will be a huge surprise for her.

    I told me wife two weeks ago, why not we prepare photo books for my friends? It costs about $45.00 for each. I immediately created three. This time, I put my order directly shipped to them. Two days ago, I got calls from my friends. Their were so thrilled to receive my gifts. Those photos are from our past years when we were together, party, camping, and celebrations. That brings good memory for them. They told me that those books are the best gifts they ever received.

    I am the person who likes to take photos of other people, family members and friends, I had really hard time to find my photos in the past when I prepared my photo books. As Steven recommended, I will ask person pass-by, can you take a photo of me or us? I want be included in my photo collections.
  • A comment on Talk: Michael Pritchard: How to make filthy water drinkable

    Aug 15 2009: At first it looks perfect and very exiting. I went to the we site and find out it is too expensive. That's fine if it can be used for a long period of time, over a year? with the price. However, when I think it over, I wonder if this bottle can be contaminated? I think it very hard to prevent from contamination on daily usage in very bad conditions.
