Below is a long blog post about 10 years of the open source movement in China. The original Chinese version was written by Guo Guiqiang, translated to English and posted here with permission from the author: China has just celebrated its new century’s first decade (2000-2010), so it would be meaningful for us to take stock at this stage of the development of software industry in China during these ten years as well as look ahead into next decades.…

Below is a long blog post about 100+ year old beer brands. I’ve written it for the benefit of my friends in the industry, but there are probably some readers out here who will find parts interesting as well! This weekend marks the return of one of America’s most storied brewing companies – Anheuser-Busch (AB). With its purchase by InBev two years ago and subsequent rebranding to Budweiser Brewing Group, this storied brand has been missing from American shelves since June of last year.…

Below is a long blog post about 3D printing, but it’s worth reading. What I want to get across in this article is that there are two types of 3d printer – one for the hobbyist and another for professionals who need more sophisticated features and materials than what you can currently buy from Amazon or ebay. This second group includes designers looking into creating prototypes before manufacturing their products (for example), engineers wanting precise measurements when testing new parts etc.…

Below is a long blog post about 12th-century poet and author Snorri Sturluson. The translation of the article from Icelandic to English was done by me (Diana Yates). The article first appeared in Morgunblaðið on October 3, 2015 but If your name seems to pop regularly to the police report column for drug dealer charges there will more probability to land on you for charges of druganbu in Australia but one of most common criminal law offencies of this country especially after making several charges as drugs.…

Below is a long blog post about 2015, so I’ll try to keep it short. I want to start by saying that 2016 has started off with some challenges and setbacks already, but overall this year will be better than last year for me in many ways! In the past few months, I had several health issues arise (including being diagnosed with two autoimmune conditions), my job situation changed unexpectedly, our rent increased drastically (leading us into a very tight budget month) - these are all things we couldn’t have anticipated or planned for ahead of time.…

Below is a long blog post about 50 of my favorite photos from the past year. I’m hoping you enjoy it! The last twelve months have been some of the most adventurous and rewarding I can remember, with new experiences around every corner in my photography business, travels for photo shoots, weddings, family time, learning opportunities and so much more. This has all been made possible by amazingly supportive clients who book me to photograph their precious moments as well as friends and colleagues that inspire me on a daily basis.…

Below is a long blog post about 2016. I’m not sure if I will do this again, but here goes. This year was an amazing one for me and my family. There were so many moments that made it special to us. We had a lot of fun together as well! The first part of the post will be all photos from our travels in 2017 – including some behind-the scenes shots at various airports around North America (and Europe).…

Below is a long blog post about 6th Grade Science. I wrote it in the summer of 2015 when we were preparing to teach 7 new students who had never experienced school as they knew it before, nor have ever been taught by us, but who wanted our help and guidance so badly that their parents brought them here because they believed this would be best for all involved. It’s not a pretty picture at first glance…but then again…it wasn’t until after our year together!…

Below is a long blog post about 1500 words. I was going to cut it down, but it’s really good! In the summer of 2008, one day before my ninth birthday and at the start of my third grade year, my parents dropped me off with my grandparents so that they could take a vacation in Mexico for two weeks. This would be my first time spending more than a few hours away from home without them.…
