Welcome to my new blog home
Although I liked the blog-city interface, the outages became interminable in March, and at the urging of others -- notably Prof. Bainbridge, I've decided to leave blog-city and start up here. It's a little more expensive, but presumably also more stable.
UPDATE: Thanks to Prof. Bainbridge for the welcome. I hope tenure works something like this: senior prof makes "suggestion" to junior prof. Junior prof follows suggestion. Senior prof recognizes wisdom of junior prof's decision.
Welcome over! I have been slowly pulling myself away from blog-city for the exact same reasons. Hope you will continue to write so many charming and witty blogs for us here.

Glad you're here; think you'll like it.

Congrats on the move, Prof. Yin. Even though this is completely irrelevant, I just wanted to put my 2 cents in on your TV issue.
Flat screens are cool. And nice to look at. But if the ONLY reason you're buying a new TV is because your coax connector isn't working, then why not purchase a video switcher?? You can plug all your components into said switcher (digital cable box as RCA outs, DVD has RCA/S-video, etc outs) and then you plug the switcher into the TV. To use a different device, just press the button... whammo. No DVD distortion for sending the signal "thru" another device; no $350 TV. The switchers cost between $25-40 (for the non-super duper ones). Just an idea!

Hooray! I've consistently found blog-city blogs to be frustratingly slow to load and hard to read, so it's great to see you on another platform w/such a bright, clean, inviting design. Your readers thank you!

Congratulations on the move, and the site looks great. But do you still have an RSS feed?

Most of the Korea life blogs that I frequent have abandoned Blogcity.

The yellow background has got to go! Something about yellow reminds me of artifical banana flavored candy, which is of course quite distasteful. I had been getting quite annoyed with the blog-city downtime too, and inability to post new blogs due to constant errors, etc.
