I took a stroll near Seine. I walked down to the City Hall. Suddenly my mobile got Christmas wishes through bluetooth. How wonderful this was, especially alone in this cold winter. I liked that Christmas tree. I came back to the bank again – I hope time could stop for me, just for one second. I can make a wish – wish for a healthy and wonderful life to everyone I know. Sightseeing boats passed by. I really wanted to find a place to get on board and made myself at home. At this moment, I hoped they had bluetooth information for mobile. This can be quite good business to think about – a new approach to advertisement.
I am an implementor, but not a theoretical researcher. I think I should be able to conduct research project, which can be useful to this society. I don’t like playing words in the ivy tower. I read some articles about scientific communication – public understanding of science recently. Academia is part of the society and I shouldn’t take them apart. It seems that I have a divide between practice and theory in my study. Sigh~
I was quite happy that I made a survey tool to help me collect data. However, in order to introduce it to other academics, I need to discuss the theoretical implications of this. I got feedback from an editor -
“The ability to do these things is indeed amazing. However, it seems there is a total lack of a critical approach to these attributes. The types pf manipulation you are discussing will have broad and complex effects on the nature of research, both quantitative and qualitative in nature. A discussion of these issues might add to the credibility of your assertions.”
I doubt that my brain is made of paste when thinking of theoretical implication of this survey instrument. What is a theory?

It encourages me to read a lot and keeps a time track for me. However, it no longer worked. I thought there was something wrong with Acrobat and reinstalled it. It still didn’t work.
After several attempts to make it work, I did think this was a bug in Acrobat 8. If I changed my computer clock back to time before October 2007 or after July 2008, it worked fine. It just didn’t work now. Does this imply that I didn’t read much in October 2007 and should roll my clock back to October and make the compensation. How sad it is.
Waiting for support from Adobe~
