Cons:
REALLY expensive (money, time, and expertise)
Citizens may consider it a poor allocation of resources (ie. education or alleviating poverty is more pressing)
0 practical benefits in the immediate future

Pros:
Builds national pride and boost morale
Shows the rest of the world how cool they are
National defense/offense (??)

Thus, it seems to me that it only makes sense for countries far enough along the development cycle with superpower aspirations. Otherwise, either they don’t have enough resources or the benefits simply aren’t compelling enough.

2 months in a blink of an eye

Posted on | 2 Comments

Updating the blog has been on my to-do list for a while…and finally signing on to post today did I realize that it’s been a full 2 months. Looking back to October 1st, it seems so long ago, not because 2 months is really that long, but that I’ve simply lost track of the alternating extremes of excitement and self-doubt doing this startup. Ultimately, I find that one measures time not necessarily by the literal time period, but by what one has experienced, and the truth is these 2 months has felt like more like a year – not in any negative sense, but that I’ve had more ups and downs in these last two months than the entire last year.

Babbling aside, the end of the research and development phase is coming to an end and I am currently trying to ride the wave of excitement as long as possible before the next problem surfaces. Though every once in a while when things do look down and waves of self-doubt surfaces, I simply ask myself, wouldn’t it be better just to find a normal job? Answering that question requires the same amount of time it takes my synapses to fire and I find that it’s enough to be motivated again. I can’t express how lucky I feel to have the chance to do what I want to be doing.

Lastly, there has been one downside of doing this startup though, my chinese has gotten a lot worse. I find that I just sit in front of my computer all day and with 2 of us both coding away all day, we don’t talk a lot so my chinese has gone to the crapper. Actually, I’ve gone as far as trying to make myself think in chinese! It’s not really working because whenever I meet up with my former co-workers, they like to make fun of my chinese. Hence, from now on, I’ll be doing my best to write this blog in chinese as well.

很久没写博客了,今天要写的时候才发现一转眼已经过了两个月了。 奇怪,想起两个月之前的我好像没什么深刻的印象了; 当然不是因为两个月是多么长的时间而是在这两个月之内已经经过无数的高潮低潮。 我发现人在衡量时间不只是用实际的时间而是用经历来衡量的。 因此对我来说,两个月之前的事情似乎一年前的事情。

创业进展得还可以,研究及开发阶段快要完成了所以特别兴奋但我一直做好心理准备等待下一个难关。很多人说创业就是这样像一个过山车一样,高潮的时候兴奋得不得了低潮的时候就觉得天很快就塌下来了。 不过不管怎么样我发现好的时候没你想得那么美好,低潮的时候没你想得那么惨。 偶尔,特别失落的时候看到我周围的朋友有了稳定的工作过的轻轻松松的生活心里难免会一点羡慕,然后就会想那我也找一份工作吧,但想也不用想我也知道我心里是怎么想的,有了这个小小的动机就够了, 再也不会疑问自己的目标了。 反而有时候我会觉得我还是蛮幸福的,能做我所想做的事情不是人人都能这么幸福所以也要好好珍惜吧。

另外,创业有一点坏处之前没想到过,就是我的中文腿部好几晨。 我跟我员工整天坐在电脑前编程也没什么机会长聊所以中文腿部也不可能避免的。 现在一旦我跟之前的同事聚聚会他们就会取笑我说像跟一个小朋友在说话一样。 好郁闷所以不得不逼我自己找办法练习中文, 所以就借这个机会用中文写博客了!

Apparently I wasn’t the only one tired of reality tv shows

I’ve come to accept that crackdowns come in cycles here particularly before big events. For example, the big congressional meeting was the driver behind closing down a bunch of chinese internet sites with user forums and bbs’ last month.

But here are a few more entertaining ones in the spirit of ‘cleaning up’ society as of late:

1) Shanda, who produces online games, said that male players will no longer be able to play female in-game characters. Their method of validation? Proving their gender via webcam.

2) No more TV ads on bras, underwear, and ‘sexual medication’ as well as TV shows on cosmetic surgery and sex changes.

3) Reality tv shows that are too vulgar also got the axe. A dating show (the name escapes me at the moment) got the axe midseason because SARFT (State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television) said so. Ouch.

4) No more audience participation via SMS voting during the primetimes of 7:30-10:30pm. Not sure the reasoning behind that, but one unrelated conclusion I can draw from this is that maybe US people stay up later on average? since our primetime is 8-11pm?

Chinese Independence is upon us…which means lots of people

It’s that time of the year again, National Independence Day in China is on October 1st…and for the occasion, people get the whole week off. Well, sort of. Actually, it’s a 3 day holiday, which happens to fall on a Mon, Tues, Wed this year. But to promote tourism and consumerism (gotta catchup to the 1st world countries!) the Chinese gov’t traded last Sat and Sun for this Thurs and Fri. Thus the result is that people worked 7 days straight last week and then get 7 days off in a row (mon-sun) this week. This promotes tourism how you ask? Because people have a full 7 days, people are willing to travel farther and drop the big bucks.

Unfortunately, this year’s national holiday isn’t as eventful for me as last year’s escapades since I am pretty much spending it working on my startup. Thus, I felt a little bit like the loser that’s staying at campus at xmas break while everyone goes home (or on a trip). But that feeling quickly dissipated upon a quick trip to the mall – the party was apparently brought to me – in the form of a gajillion people taking advantage of the holiday bargains

Apparently your typical IKEA store

So it looks like IKEA has done downsized to a tiny boutique clothing shop in China….err….or the shopowner thought they’d just ‘borrow’ the IKEA name, with the full intention of returning it of course.
