I have taken the note from Emma. She has been read 41 books from the list. I should just say 'Wow'.
I have read a lot of technical book such as computer programming book when I growing up. A lot of people can't count how many books they read but in my case, I can count on them in Korean novel and English novel, too. Because I haven't read a lot of books.
If you want to check my list of read book in English, you can check out here.
My reading novel in Korean also quite same as that one. I mean it wasn't that much.
I was very surprised that I read that list far better than most people so I am trying to do that, too.

wild duck family made home at Sinchundunchi, Daegu
They were staying between Suseong-gyo and Dongsin-gyo. Korean word 'Gyo' is bridge and Korean word for step-stone bridge is 'Jinggeumdari'.
When Daegu city government were building the jinggeumdari, I did notice that wild duck family staying same place most of time.
So I took the photo of them with my Nokia 6210s phone camera.
#1 I think they were staying there quite sometime now. I have no idea how long they were there because they looked same to me.
26th August 2009
night shot of wild duck family at Sinchundunchi, Daegu #2
8th September 2009
They were staying same place at night.
Below photos were taken at 18th September, 2009.
#3 Cubs are playing around but mother duck(I don't know whether it is female or not.) doesn't much moving around.
#4
#5 Mostly she staying there for long time.
#6 Some kids wanted to feed wild duck. That's why they were looking at the same direction.
#7 Finally, she will trying to follow her baby.
p.s. My original writing is here in Korean.
p.s. I couldn't see them anymore. They probably were heading to the south for staying at warm weather. They were left there at first October.

I was so happy to buy Nokia 6210s but…
I wrote about the phone at twitter.com.
10:55 AM Jul 20th from bit.ly
It can't play the video. And camera only show it in black screen so I have to send back to internet shopping mall for repair. :-(
I took the photo near my home by Nokia 6210s with geo tagging which is tag for map.
So you can see the photo with where I took it.-You have to check out from photo's hyperlink.
about the Nokia's enter the Korea's cell-phone market
I wrote about that in ovi.com.

I took the photo for testing by Nokia 6210s which name is same as Nokia 6210 Navigator.
But my phone's camera doesn't show any image just plain black so I have to request for change the phone from seller.
You see. Nokia said that they want to succeed in Korea but a lots of Nokia 6210s seems to be broken down so who wanted to buy it? Do some work properly, Nokia.
People complain about the small manufacturing problems but real problem is Nokia 6210s' firmware which included Korean version. Because my phone's camera was work a few times after the using the Nokia Software Updater program.
You see the problem?
And video player doesn't showing the video, too. But it can only play the music. So it was problem with full screen control.
Anyway, I hope that Nokia do better on Korea's cell-phone market.

Actually, I don't know anything about US's education system so it was false statement and other things too. More precisely they need more evidence and I will write it some day. Because I am quite busy for writing in Korean about this.
But why I wrote that statement because I know the Korean's education system very well which is mix of US's and Japan's education system. And especially religion thing was very like US but different way.
Now I found this twitter's message

Korean's famous star Kim Yuna on twitter
Kim Yuna on Twitter http://bit.ly/tHKmk who won a few times world champion in figure skating and became extremely famous in Korea. It probably far more famous than Brad Pitt plus Angelina Jolie. (I'm not kidding.)
Most of Koreans don't know anything about twitter but when she started twittering, 5000+ people follow her. That, We cleverly call them as "dynamic Korea".
[via Ara on twitter]
P.S You can see it yourself how famous she was. http://bit.ly/tHKmk

I really like the word 'productivity'
better than 'innovation'.
It sounds really nice and comfortable. I don't know why. But I do know that it can make differences.
When I need some application for iPod Touch, I always look up at productivity categories. Actually you can't find a lot of applications, though.
Most of them are personal managements stuff such as note or memo, todo list and checklist. Simple but, it is most productivity stuff.
Why?
If you have a idea or some thought, how you gonna keep it? Memorize it? No, right? You probably wanted to write down. That's why small piece of paper was most powerful tool in the world. :-D
You can write down by word. Also you can draw something. Whichever you like it.
Anyway, I just found one websites called "WeFollow: A User Powered Twitter Directory" and then there has tag for productivity.
I found one interesting twitter user called "productivity501". And I found one very good quote "If you are looking for a big opportunity, find a big problem.~Anonymous" so I follow on twitter.
So I retweet it like that.
I will tell you about my first or second favourite word next time.

This blog is more like diary. Nothing more.
You probably don't understand what I am saying because most of people come here for check out my English. Does it make sense?
They don't understand what I am saying but they wanted know my level of English. It was nonsense so that is why Korea's English education system was totally corrupted.
Anyway, I don't have much time for writing anything here because I am really busy blogging with my Korean blog. So if you were interested, you can visit Ara's global mind column blog or Ara's properly Learn English blog or Ara's think logically twitter.
I didn't expect so much fun from twittering because I don't like writing sms because of limitation of 160 characters or so.
But now I really enjoyed it in Korean which is update with facebook.com's my account.
And then someone followed me so I checked out who he or she was. And then I really enjoyed what he was twittering. He or she is Ralph Wiggum.-You know, I don't have any idea about any name from gender.- That link is his twitter page.
I can't writing any English in thinklogically account because Korean can't understand English. So now I am thinking about make one more twitter account for English.
I am thinking about it but I can't decide because I have too many blogs and twitter accounts.
Hey, one more thing.
I told you this is more like diary. I am not writing this from Microsoft Word which can check spelling and grammatical error. So don't complain about my grammatical error.
Think wisely and don't be an arse.
