Facebook Celebrates Lunar Birthdays

Today Facebook proposed me to add my lunar calendar birthday so that my friends can know on which day of the gregorian calendar it falls. I don't know if I saw this feature because I live in an Asian country, but I found it quite a good idea. Actually, it could be helpful for many people because the lunar calendar is ever changing in relation to the gregorian calendar. Meaning, you cannot say "my lunar birthday falls on January 12" and be done with it. It changes every year. In Korea, people still celebrate their parents birthday based on the lunar calendar, and all I can say is that younger generations find it a bit confusing. So much so that they have to ask their parents "on which day is your birthday this year?". So basically, if Facebook tells it to you, it might prevent some awkward situations (provided the parents are on Facebook too).

CNET's VPN Software Scam

I recently tried searched for some VPN (Virtual Private Network) software. I wanted to try some services that are available only in the US, while residing in Korea. Connecting via a VPN software would allow me to use those services from Korea. When googling "free VPN", the CNET solution show up in the top three results. Seeing the users' rating was 4 out of 5, and seeing it was explicitly free, I thought I could give it a try and hit the download button. I guess I should have read the comments before doing that. I downloaded the installer and when I ran it the Default installation option was including a toolbar I never asked for. Fortunately I noticed it and hit the "Advanced" install instead. However, as soon as the installation completed, I got this message: NO TRIAL TIME LEFT! Please buy full version from www.[sitename].com. As stated in some of the real comments (those that are not saying "Hey it's so awesome!"), CNET

High Street Low Street - the Real Korea in Photo

I recently received my order for two samples of a great street photography book by Dayvmatt [blog site link]. These are rare items (only 500 prints) and hand-numbered! But more than anything, High Street Low Street --the title of the book-- is a superb piece of photography for anyone with an interest in South Korea. It shows a Korea you probably never see if you don't live here. And if you do live in Korea, it shows a very personal look at this amazing country. Dayvmatt says on his site "There is nothing poignant Dayv wants to say about this photography". I don't think he needs to say anything. His photography speaks for itself. This photo book is A3 format and included postcard and stickers. I put my iPhone 4 to give an idea of the size. If you or someone you know is interested in Korea, I can't recommend this book enough. As an expat living in Seoul, it's the kind of book I want to share with people so they can have an idea of life in this coun
