Not a fan of domain name but: forevereden.org to anti online pornography

Never pay attention to the domain names. Got a newsletter of released domain name and the "forevereden.org" caught my eyes.
En... interesting! But I couldn't believe this domain was released and still availiable...
So Google found out it was a pornography domain...
Stunned for a while. Made a budget, for the sake of "environment protection" till broken.

Someone told me that the whitehouse dot com used to be a porn site and lots of students visited by mistakes. Now it's changed into a government site, even it's not with dot gov or org.

Gosh, we can start a campaign for domain names --- protecting the online environment. ...
or at least, someone should do that...
Those potential pornography domains can be used for education purpose, or charity or whatever common good.
-- Use the enemy's spear to pierce the enemy's shield.

PS:
I am not a Utopian nor Communist and have no idea what I can do with this this domain name...
i think i am crazy, .....this entry is going to offend a bunch of friends too...( used to think porn is ok if people won't consider doing anything halmful for other people)

If we all are saint, nothing will go wrong.

dance : getting attention or artistical creativity

why not dance?

It's a serious. I almost considered it as my career.
So here, dance is not about attending to a class or joining a club or preparing for the entertaining events, it's about artistical creativity.
Getting attention is all about self centered expressing. Of course there is nothing wrong with getting attention. But considering about being a part of the society + dancers are more vulnerable than other artists => overwhelmed by the attention + fade out fast.
Artistical creativity is all about loving others. It should be pleasing and it's the utopiate without side effect.

When I spent too much time on dancing and drawing, my mom told me, "Learn to feed yourself before being an artist". Mom is always practical. According to the history, lots artists became famous after leaving the world.
Perhaps those artists were happy about being dovotional and passionate for art, but we don't know and we are evaluating their life as a bad time on earth. So their life turns out like a tragedy for the followers to digest.
It is getting worse in terms of dancing, since it's harder to be creative while getting no attention.

Other thing about artists:
It's easier for artists to mass up with the life, not because they are massed up. They just happened to be famous and all the mass couldn't be hidden as the rest of the world were doing.
I am sure I can hide my mass better than a tragedian.

Dancer or whatever (geek), both of them need a "tough skin", for good.

something to think about the education:
--- practical or interest driven education?

ETEC698 - Blog - Regarding the Literacy

Assignment 4


Description: Go to Blogger. Create an account and follow the steps to create a blog. After posting your thoughts regarding the Literacy assignment, send your blog link to the class email list and invite your peers to check it out. Visit a couple of your peers' blogs and post a comment or two.


Use the following criteria to assess your blog.


The online discussion on the topic of Literacy actually proves the information literacy is already in a non-traditional way and we are soaking in the information world. The "information highway" is not fast enough and the “cyberspace” is no longer a new for us (Dyson, Gilder, Keyworth & Toffler, 1994). Futurist is putting hards on creating the society with a vision of digital inclusion (Meinrath, 2006) and we all are the member of this web 2.0 global society. Honestly, I will be overwhelmed by the information everyday if I don't have a priority.

The article below is the revised post on information literature, inspirited by the critical comments. Comments said that the analysis of the weakness of the resource was not strong enough and makes the article inbalanced. While reading the comments, I was wondering how I could pin-point the weakness of the resource while not being "rude". Thus, I have to think critically, which my culture taught that disagreement is not a good way to approach.

As a result, the multiple contradictions make the critical thinking more interesting for me.

When people in the culture avoiding “the critical thinking” encounter this information cyberspace, the government based censorship is necessary. Remember I was not agree with the censorship at all, and tried my best to help friends approach the information freely with some technique. Now I changed my mind though this chemical reaction of “critical thinking” and “agreement thinking”. A society with majority without ability of filtering out the useless information, the control is necessary and it requires the leaders in power have the ability and wisdom of filtering the most effective information. Is this fooling people? As long as the controller is thinking about how to educate the people critical thinking, it will reach to the point of zero-filtering.

Here is the example. When A was volunteering at the travel agency in Hawaii, she was asked by a visiting scholar B from an ancient Asian country C about the strip-clubs in Honolulu. A was shocked by the “open mind” of C, since A thought C is a very traditional country and condemns the immorality. After A gave C a lesson of sex industry and human trafficking in the world, the injustice and ignorance of the “consumer” and the misunderstanding between cultures, C changed the mind of looking for the information of strip-clubs.

Critical thinking education is necessary, especially for the culture focusing on harmony and agreement, valuing obedience and humbleness. In this information cyberspace era, critical thinking is the inner power of creativity.


Here is the entry I posted at online discussion in class. The blue part is the revised updating after classmate’s feedback.


Understanding Information Literacy

Liu Liu

Prof. Mike Mencraca

ETEC 698 - Summer 2008

Introduction

This blog entry will review author’s understanding of information literacy and its operation (or lack thereof) in website development and second language teaching and learning, this entry will The second part of the entry briefly describes the website http://www.iosn.net/ strengths and weakness.

Information literacy

Information literacy is ability to locate the information and use the information effectively. In this special era of information, the internet makes the information more approachable comparing we all can become an expert in three months if we grape the information literacy. As the world is filled with commercial ideas and dominant by all fun and cool ideas, as the educator, it’s time to rethink about the classroom. Make the school, classroom as a "cool" place to be, teach students thinking different and critical, while having a sense of the globe.

Website Design – Open Source

The open source really makes all programming works easier and more productive. In Communication & Information at UN website, there is a Portals/Directories for Open Source software & Free software where located most international open source systems information. The link is: http://www.unesco.org/webworld/portal_freesoft/. Open source systems make the program more efficient and the software more acquirable, while free software breaks the economic barrier.

Take my personal experience as an example: three years ago I made the website for an international organization in three months. The whole progress of building a website included every single step of developing an online system and especially when the customer revised the requirement, it would take me forever to fulfill the updated requirement. Years later, the same organization asked me again to make the site, and this time with the open source content manage system Joomla and related open source systems, the whole website only took one quarter amount of time comparing with the former one, with more professional functions and more friendly interface. Open sources are not free software, but it definitely, but it is a huge step to bridge the injustice. As Stallman R. said on GUN website and I am quoting here:

The official definition of “open source software” (which is published by the Open Source Initiative and too long to cite here) was derived indirectly from our (Free software) criteria for free software. It is not the same; it is a little looser in some respects, so open source supporters have accepted a few licenses that we consider unacceptably restrictive of the users. Nonetheless, it is fairly close to our definition in practice.

Computer-assisted language learning System in Mandarin

Computer-assisted language learning (CALL) originates from Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI). The philosophy of CAI or CALL is that the lessons should allow the learners to learn on their own using structured and/or unstructured interactive lessons. These lessons carry 2 important features: bidirectional (interactive) learning and individualized learning. CALL is not a method but a tool helping teachers to facilitate language learning process. The software assisting mandarin learning, the on-line mandarin learning communities, the instructional videos are different ways of CALL.

International Open Source Network http://www.iosn.net/

The International Open Source Network (IOSN) an initiative of the United Nations Development Programmer’s (UNDP) Asia Pacific Development Information Programmer (APDIP) and supported by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) of Canada. The IOSN is a Center of Excellence for FOSS in the Asia-Pacific Region. It shapes its activities around Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) technologies and applications. Via a small secretariat based at the UNDP Regional Centre in Bangkok and three centers of excellence – IOSN ASEAN+3, IOSN PIC (Pacific Island Countries), and IOSN South Asia, based in Manila, Suva and Chennai respectively, the IOSN is tasked specifically to facilitate and network FOSS advocates and human resources in the region.

The vision is that developing countries in the Asia-Pacific Region can achieve rapid and sustained economic and social development by using affordable yet effective FOSS ICT solutions to bridge the digital divide.

The only weakness of the website is the limitation of open source, not the free source.

Technically, the site is built by the open source CMS Plone (plone.net). It offers customization options like all other CMS. One of Plone's greatest strengths is its accessibility: Plone is built following government standards such that it is user friendly with people with disabilities. Although Plone is a very powerful and highly extensible CMS, it’s incredibly hard to learn to develop for because of the poor documentation.

Regarding the website IOSN, the translation of the website hasn't done yet, with the list of language choices. Removing the undone language choices will help the visitors to get the information effectively without confusion.

This is the data from Alexa traffic details for iosn.net on June 7, 2008:

Iosn.net users come from these countries:

Iosn.net traffic rank in other countries:

South Africa 20.8%

South Africa 52144,06297

India 14.2%

Iran 102,3114622

Iran 9.4%

Philippines 617614,213

Thailand 3.1%

Vietnam 3112665,296

Philippines 1.7%

Thailand 60140,482

Malaysia 1.0%

India 221,35478

Vietnam 0.7%

Malaysia 30334,463

Other countries 49.0%

From the table above, the IOSN is well-known in South Africa, but  the place like China, East Asia and Pacific islands have not ranked in.

Shorts and Mormon

Went to Morman school at north shore for an art show with my friend. He didn't tell me anything about the dress, so I chose the white shirt, with delicated lace, shorts cuts in the suit style. I thought it would be very formal in Hawaii: at least, not super short, not sleeveless, not over-stylish, not shabby.
...untill being stared after landing the school, I found there were something strange going on: I should never dress the shorts above the knee in Morman School, nor the sleeveless.

Oh gee, my fault! Forgot to look at the rules in Mormon. =I

At least, learned something:
----Google the rules/customs/cultures before attending to any religious events!
