I kind of feel bad that I’ve abandonded my blog for a while. Now and then, I would visit it myself just to check any acitivity, and looking through I knew that I needed to write but the priority was always something else. For that reason, I must apologize before my readership who thought that something has happened to me or my blog. Well, indeed there are lots of things that have happened in the past couple of months. But not to confuse anyone I will start with the latest and thus the title “The Launch of MyDenmarkTV.com - …” Continue reading »

Online Education Sites

Some time ago I made a post about Academic Earth, a good resource that delivers thousands of academic lecturers to your ‘doors’.

Thanks for LifeHacker.com and oculture.com I got to know that YouTube has recently launched a similar service which they called YouTube EDU.

The concept is more or less the same as Academic Earth. According to the above mentioned resources, there are about 200 videos at the moment. I am certain that YouTube / Google will catch up quite soon as both know that educational videos are in an extremely high demand. Continue reading »

master thesis interview

Today, I am excited to finally publish one of my latest interviews with a graduate from Seoul National University who came South Korea to study through the Samsung Global Scholarship Program.

In a nearly 1-hour interview I drilled Chetan to tell me about his experience writing and completing his Master’s thesis. If you are in the middle of your thesis project I am sure you will find this interview helpful as he uncovers many useful tips that can help you nail your project too.

Interviewee: Chetan Raj
Interviewer: Vladimir Chen

Vladimir: Hello

Chetan: Hello, Good afternoon

PDFgeni.com - great tool

I have just stumbled upon a very cool site that will be another addition to “My Favorites” on your computer.

The site is called PDFGeni.com and it collects all the free PDF materials (books, articles, papers, reports etc.) found on the Internet and delivers them to you  for absolutely free. I just tested the site and it works really well.

What I like about the site is that it is so simple e.g. a no-brainer. The homepage looks like this: Continue reading »

Me being interviewed

On my last day of visiting Washington D.C. I made up my mind to walk around in the attempt to find a shopping mall and get some presents to take home with me.

As I was exploring the streets of D.C. I ran into a United Press International (UPI) reporter who asked me if I had a minute to answer some questions. “Sure” - I said. He asked me if I would mind answering three simple questions. I told him that I am not a local and I might not be able to have answers to all his questions. He assured me that I needn’t be one.

Aimee Mullins & Jessica Cox

Here is a couple of more people I want to bring to your attention. Their names are: Aimee Mullins and Jessica Cox.

The reason why I want to write about them is simply because these ladies are real fighters. They never settle nor do they give up on their dreams.

Like in the previous video where I talked about Nick Vujicic who has no arms no legs, Aimee Mullins has no legs and Jessica Cox has no arms. Yet Aimee is a runner, Olympics game veteran, World’s record holder, model and actress. Whereas, Jessica Cox, who has no arms, is a motivational speaker, black belt martial artist who also learned to fly an airplane. Wow!

Against all odds, the girls don’t see themselves as the victims of the ‘events’ or circumstances but rather pull themselves out of this as the winners. They do things many of us don’t dare to.

Why Is That So? What Drives These Young Ladies To Overcome Any Obstacle On Their Ways? Continue reading »
