Some people have been emailing me asking who I am, what I do and stuff. Just thought I might have a brief introduction of myself here. I mean "relatively brief" :)
Born in Korea, educated in U.S. from high school up to graduate school,
A computer science major,
Been back in Korea since 2003,
Worked for a great company named Samsung SDS for about 4 years,
Then quit the great company to become a full-time blogger (the first one in Korea as far as I know),
Known as the "Web 2.0 Evangelist" in Korea for my passion and enthusiasm for the changes related to "Web 2.0",
Blogger behind Taewoo's Log (Taewoo is my Korean name), one of the most widely read blogs in Korea with nearly 6,000 RSS subscribers, covering various aspects of the Web: technical, social, economic and legal,
Enjoying his last year as twenty-something before turning the big 3-0,
Author of the recently published book Meconomy, which examines the new economic landscape shaped by the Web with individuals being the powerful suppliers,
Currently works part-time as the global marketer for openmaru (more on this later), running its English blog,
A regular contributor to Korea Herald on "multiculturalism", starting in late January,
And loves Korea, Music (esp. piano), NBA, all kinds of Asian food, and Jesus.
This ain't my resume, but hopefully this will give you guys more context as you try to digest more stuff on TechnoKimchi.
Since I took a big break from all knowledge-gaining activities late last year for personal reasons, I've been trying to fill up my knowledge buffer before I start pumping out great stuff about Korea. So just a little bit more patience, then you shall receive much :)
CNN is featuring a whole series called "Eye on South Korea". You'll purely love it! It's basically everything I've been trying to say at TechnoKimchi: what's it's like to have a digital generation like in Korea.
You can watch the video clip of my interview HERE.
At first, I thought it was really incredible that a little boy like me could be featured on such prestigious media like CNN. And it was possible because of this blog: THEY FOUND ME THROUGH TECHNOKIMCHI!
It's just so weird. Tons of people have been contacting me since the broadcast. Lots of people actually searched for the term "technokimchi" to land at this blog. What a day!
Below are some pictures taken from the set. I'll go over more on CNN: Eye on South Korea in the coming days! Until then, hurrah!
