Kinetic Monte Carlo

KMC is a simulation method for chemistry. Monte Calo (MC) is a mathematical method for simulation, while KMC is used for simulation of dynamic drifting.

Writing by an electric pen

l am now writing this article using an electric pen in my smart phone. It is interesting to write text using an electric pen instead of keyboard as the use of a pen is more natural than the use of a keyboard for typing.

I like my recent smart phone of the Galaxy note. Do you like your smart phone? Are you using also a new smart phone of the Galaxy note. The Galaxy note is larger than conventional smart phones but smaller than current tablet PCs. Therefore, it offers mobility as well as convenience to use various mobile Internet services. 

Windows Live Writer

I’m now using the windows live writer for posting an article in a blog. I’m chekcing whether it is convenient or not compared to internal blog editors. As It is not directly connect to the blog site, additional features are unable to support but it has a strong advantage that it is similar to conventional documentation tools such as the ms-word.

When I write my document in www.blogger.com, it is also convenient to use the windows live writer.

Best display technology for book reading

Reference: http://www.i-programmer.info/news/152-epub/3642-apple-enters-the-digital-textbook-market.html

In my opinion, for books more important is to increase readability by the use of advanced display technologies such as e-ink, mirasol.

I'm now reading a book using kindle as well as direct books. Kindle is almost like a book while other display are difficult to read longtime in terms of both readability and time. LCD display takes large energy so that it becomes turning off in mobile devices. Hence, it is not easy to read a e-book in mobile devices unless I change the auto turning off model out.

What do you think? Do you think current display type e-pads will be useful for book reading continuously? Or, do you also agree that new display technology becomes also mandatory for convenient book reading?

Python(x,y) tips

[File Read and Write]
For file open, we use open and close similar to c programming.
  E.g., f = open( 'hello.txt', 'r')

[For .. in ..]
When we use for-in command, we must use : in the end of the first line.
  E.g., for line in lines:

[Operators]
Python use similar operator with C

[Boolean operation]
In Python, we can use 'and', 'or' and 'not' directly for operation
  E.g., x or y

[True and False]
For Boolean variables, we can use True or False but not true or false

[String.Split()]
A string can be split to wrods in array form.
my_split_words = my_phrase.split()
http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/python/threads/187010

[String.join()]
An array can be joined into a string by the use of the join() method.

>> sentence = ["there", "is", "no", "spoon"]
>> string.join(sentence, " ")
'there is no spoon'

Digital Expressionism

I wonder that currently, hi quality trends will be going continuously in technology business. As it was changed from realism to expressionism in the art history, digital technology paradigm is to predicted that the new paradigm can be coming. In art history, it was so nature to change from realism to expressionism because people want to see more than what he can see in his eye. Viewers now want to feel more than his visual sanctification. They want to feel from their mind, or soul when they see a picture.

Simultaneously to my blog

I'm now using a way to upload my blog simultaneously. Sometimes, I want to upload my good stream in this google+ into my blog. I know now how to upload my streams to my blog automatically. It will be possible if we use email address for blog upload. Some blog services allows to upload from email as well as from direct typing in the same site.

Uploaded from my gmail

I'm uploading my mentions from my gmail to my blog. I didn't know that I can upload my blog article from my email yet. Now I knew it and will try to upload sometimes when I don't have too much time to write an article independently.

I use it for the first time.
I write my article directly from the blog editor. Now I can upload my article from email, which make me so convenient.

I sometimes want to share my feeling and information with others. Hence, I now realize that is easily possible if I use my gmail.

Rich characters for Google+ Stream

Bold/Italic/Strikethrogh Text in Google Plus | Google+ Text Formatting

I introduce this blog page since it shows the way to use rich characters in Google+. I tried to find the way to use them and eventually, I now knew it from this article.

The bold face character can be used for a title. In front of other text, we use *boldface* title. The similar method had used in the other Google social networking service for community. 

Google+ for photographers

I thought that there is me who realize that Google+ is a place for photographers. However, I realize that there are many people who already think like that. They share their photo here and explain about it. Additionally, people add their comments.

I like a dog. When I was young, our family feed a number of dogs.

We also had cats. To my memory cats were more difficult to feed than dogs.

My brother and sister like dogs and cats more than me. One of the reason which I can remember now why they like dogs and cats more than me is that they are much younger than me during that time. 

New wonderful editor for google blog

I have thought that why google does not support a good editor for this blog service. Now I eventually found that it starts to support wonderful editor and interface. The concept is very wonderful for new changing. I can see other web blogging in real time and I can go his homepage if I think his new article is interesting to me. 

Google+ and mobile google blog

Now I realize that google becomes more aggressive in mobile internet services than that in desktop internet services. I realize that google+ can be used as a great social networking service and this google blog pages can also be seen in mobile phones very successfully because of its newly supporting the mobile web protocol.

I like this Persona feature most among all other Firefox add-ons.

After I know and add the function of Persona to edit blog articles automatically in my firefox browser, I started to like the Firefox browser much more than before.

There are so many faces in Persona to be able to add in this Firefox browser. In order to enjoy this new feature you may refer to Personas for Firefox | Dress up your web browser.

I cann't type my comments in Youtube

I'm wonder why I can not type my opinion in Youtube. Some months ago, I think I can type my comments for a short period. However, I can not type anymore again as I couldn't previously. I can type comments in any web pages but I can not do it in Youtube. I don't know the reason why I cannot do it.

Wonderful search engine

It has been an wonderful search engine and will be a great search engine. However, it has two cons in my eye. First, it is less emotional because I guess it want to reduce the bandwidth usage (i.e., less reduce the data transmission resource). Second, it is less social because i guess it want to reduce the computation complexity at the server. It has been success because it optimize the bandwidth and the complexity but for the future it should develop new approach to add more functionals at the expense of more resource. Thank you Google search as you offer me high quality information on the see of information.

[MU-MIMO] Feedback reduction by multiuser diversity

We describe the throughput performance of user scheduling system when multiuser diversity is applied to the network.

 

If the number of scheduling users is K in the user scheduling network, the required feedback bits is reduced from B to B – log2 K where B is the number of feedback bits and K is the number of active users in the network.

 

The channel model of the uplink multiuser MIMO system is given by

 

y_k = H_k * x_k + n_k

 

where H_k is the wireless fading  channel vector for user k, x_k is the scalar transmit signal, and n_k is the noise signal vector.

Wireless System Modeling

Noise modeling
n1, ..., nNK are independent complex Gaussian noise terms with unit variance.

Fading Modeling
We consider a block fading channel with iid Rayleigh fading from block to block. The channel coefficients are iid complex Gaussian with unit variance.

Roadmap for real Globalization

We should know that in the near future, words can be replaced by multimedia for the major communication tool.

Wireless Story

This blog talks also about an wireless story.

I am now preparing one technical paper to submit to an international conference and a journal, subsequently.

Openoffice weblog editing

I'm now starting to use openoffice as a weblog editor. It is hard to edit the documents in weblog directly. I want to publish interesting scientific stories in the Internet. I have the biggest problem to upload my story in the Internet. The problem is my capability of English writing. I think my English is not that bad but at the same time, not that good. However, by recent long run practice, I can now edit the document in English as much as the native can understand it.

Complexity Mobile Networking

If we allow full mobile ad-hoc networking without any coordination, the interference among different mobiles will be serious. Then, almost nobody can communicate with any other terminals. The current wireless communication systems are coordinated by the centralized access pointer to avoid interuser signal interference. The access pointer makes the signals transmitted by the different mobiles orthogonal to each other so as not to generate interuser interference. We predict that the future mobile neetworking systems will not have a heavy network coordinator. When there is no coordinator, one possible solution to avoid the interference is to use beamforming arrays at terminals where beamforming can effectively suppress transmit and receive interference. For accurate beamforming with high perforamnce interference suppressing requires many antennas which are not practical in real situation because many antennas increase the installation cost such as RF price and device size limitation.

About Green technology blog

This blog discusses green technology for radio access networks. Recently, mobile phones are including many digital functionalities such as enjoying mobile web services and playing music and video multimedia.

My comments:
I read this book in Korean, which I rent from the city library. When I read for the first, I thought that this book is somehow difficult since he includes many geographical figures but finally, I realized that this book is easy to read and to understand. By reading this book I had a great pleasure to me, in contrast to general mathematical books. As you said, he has great enthusiasm on Euclid geographic which have taught my mind up to now.

The flowing emotional based mathematical skill can be what 21st century society requires. We could have more than one extraordinary skill which can not catch up quickly by others.

Wireless System Modeling

Noise modeling

n1, ..., nNK are independent complex Gaussian noise terms with unit variance

Fading Modeling

We consider a block fading channel with iid Rayleigh fading from block to block.

The channel coefficients are iid complex Gaussian with unit variance.

Downlink Beamforming

In wireless communications, either more spectrum or higher spectral efficient communication technologies can increase the data rate, which enables to service various multimedia contents. Since frequency spectrum is a natural resource, it is inherently limited so that it costs very high. Therefore, it is very important to find highly spectral efficient communication technologies. However, new good technologies requires higher complexity in terms of development, installation and so on. Therefore, our research goal is either to optimize the current technology and to find a new innovative technology.

Beamforming is a scheme to overcome the limitation of the spectrum resource. Beamforming is used for spatial division multiple access which increases the system throughput by spatially diving multiple user signals. Spatially diving let multiple users communicate simultaneously in a same frequency band. When beamforming is applied for the downlink transmission, we call it as downlink beamforming.

Downlink beamforming requires feedback signaling of downlink channel information from each user to the transmitter. The performance of a downlink beamforming depends on the accuracy of feedback signaling. Hence we need new scheme which breaks the current tradeoff curve between the performance of the systems and the requirement of feedback signaling.

True tree diagram for mind-map

Tree diagram, or mind map, has been used for many areas including research, business, study. One of example programs to build tree diagrams is Freemind which is easy to use. While I use freemind, I suddenly felt that Freemind is needed to be upgrade with a new feature.

Remind that tree diagrams in Freemind resembles not full structure but only a half part of a full tree. Recent half tree form mindmaps are convenient to show various divided facts effectively. However, it is not very effective to analyze facts and to tell a story about associated actions. Now, I propose the following new usage of tree based mind-map:

The gloomy fact

Do you fall in love?
Scientists analyzed the brain whose fell in love to know why they feel good when they love by MRY.
In conclusion, scientists found out that three part of the brain have a brisk response. One is the area of ventral tegmental that is down part of the brain. Here, it makes dopamine a kind of hormone. The reason why the delicious cooking smell makes our mouth water is that dopamine is activating.
However, if only ventral tegmental activates, you can not continue to love. Also, it is problem to find new love only in ecstasies by dopamine. Therefore there is the nucleus accmbens that prevents you from bing with rapture and is a little front of upper part of ventral tegmental. This tingling feeling that originates from ventral tegmental delivers over here, at that time serotonin and oxytocin kinds of hormone have a response together and stimultaneously of the two, oxytocin plays the key role to bind firmly.
In brain, the last settlement of the feeling love is caudate nuclei. That exists individually on both side of head. Each size is like a shrimp. Familiar behavior and habit stored on caudate nuclei, is not apt to be forgotten. It is due to caudate nuclei, even though the the love like flame is fade away, it transforms to a sense of duty that has to be keep very long time.
The early feeling of love like flame is likely to cold in the end. It is proved that the final goal of couple's relationship is companionate love.

You know, there is no rule without exception, but scientists believe that most love is apt to go along with casual relationship and it must be like that.

Missing Lester Young~~

I am a sort of Jazz fan. So to speak, I am interested in traditional Jazz played earlier than 'Bitches Brew' of Miles David. My favorate is Lester young who was called as 'Prez'(derives from president of Jazz) in 1930s through 1950s. Days ago, I stopped by a CD shop to buy one of his masterpieces. However, He seemed to be so old-fashioned that his booth disapeared. People don't know how beautiful classical Jazz is! His blowing is romantic and elegant so as to captivate us. I compared his playing with Coleman Hawkins who was the most popular saxophonist in 1930s, at the same time, remained the legend even now. Lester young's tone is relaxed, cool and quitely soft while Coleman hawkins is full of being masculine and powerful in his atmosphere. On listening Young's playing, I was fascinated with his music. His album changed my fixed idea over timber of tenor saxophone. It sounded a poem or an ode. I could imagine that I was under the sunny side when I listened to 'On the sunny side of the street'. When I fell in love, I would follow 'Love me or Leave me' or 'Prisoner of love'. Even these days, I appreciate 'Just you, Just me' or 'I've found a new baby' because I came to find 'a new baby'. Romanticism had gone, leaving Utilitarianism. I'm still hanging around 'an old spanish town'. But 'sometimes, I'm happy'.

Cognitive dissonance

The term 'Cognitive dissonance' was created by Leon Festinger, a social psychologist and professor, in 1957. He infiltrated into an eschatological religious group which were waiting for doomsday caused by 'Great flood'. They seemed to trust in a leader's direction sincererly. However, the last day supposed to perish didn't come. Festinger expected believers to get angry against their head of the group. But followers didn't show a wrath against the leader rather than they were relieved with no happening.

Festinger recognized that human beings usually are skillful to deceive themselves to expel from unpleasant, irrational experience. To speak, we can't put up with our being weak or shabby enough to be hurted by other people and specific situaltions. On the contrary, we want to give an excuse not to violent against normal social system and strongly deny our wrong behavior or belief. It is really convenient system for our mental health. We are ready to defence ourselves for the fear that we are not logical and reasonable. Sometimes, we go through conflicts with our target to go on or not since it often has incompatible structures in characteristic. We can't be decisive due to various sides inside target. In fact, we hesitate to have the critical result.

I sympathize on human being's poor psychology which want to escape from unbearable conditions. But at the same time, I am amazed at its safeguard to protect us. If we don't have had such a mental device, some of us must have gone mad or been humiliated to death.

He declares 'God is not great'

Born in UK, Christopher Hitchens, 56, was chosen as the 5th most world-wide intellectual by professional readers conducted by 2 political and diplomatic magazines last year. He is following Noam Chomsky, Umberto Eco, Richard Dawkins and Vaclav Havel. He has been staying in America since 1980s and writing columns titling 'Minority Report' in 'The Nations'. He became generally known for the author of 'Hostage to History', 'For the Sake of Argument', 'The Missionary Position' and so on. Recently, he is also acknowledged politically being a sort of 'Neocon', after continuously criticizing left-wing of Anglo-America and Islamic fundamentalism.

I am reading his book 'God is not Great', dealing with lots of gods and godness all over the world since the prehistoric age. Of cource, he mainly focuses on 2 big powers, 'Christianity' and 'Islam'. As an atheist and meterialist together with Richard Dawkins( Actually, I am sure they are not cooperating. Hitchins usually offend Dawkins ), he is a representative leader of the humanistic current suceeding Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein. He want to speak out for the value of humanists to the intelligent public. He always says that he won't flatter the public. I was starltled at his perfect refusal to religions because he was raised within various western religious cultures such as Judaism, the Greek Orthodox Church and the Baptist Church and Cavinism. His frankness and direct contempt about euphemism deserve us stunning. He confirms every religion is based on totalitarianism. Under his eyes, even Mother Teresa is just an tiny trifling mammals shaken by black money or empty reputation as well as another. He rejects and detests religions without any reservation, showing inconsistancy and contradiction of the scriptures and savagery performed under the name of the religious power. He explains that religion supports stupidity and bars us from accumulating knowledge, confining it within very private field.

Instead, he advocates the secular interests such as love, sex, music, philosophy. However, he denys giving us the reason of being. He just says that we do not have to be nihilists despite absence of god. He wishes us to emancipate from the trap to suppress human beings, muttering "El sueno de la razon produce monstros(-The sleep of reason produces monsters-Francisco Goya)".

'I believe in love'

This year, the Lee sang short story Award fell on Yeuseun Guen who wrote ' I believe in Love'. We can also taste other's short stories through 'representative works of the Lee sang Literature award' which was made to be in memory of Lee Sang since 1971. This omnibus book has Korean readers paid attention to its laureats and candidates every new year.

Yeuseun Guen who was born in 1965, belongs to 386 generation, lost her beloved friend in the vortex of political resistance 1n 1980s have shown the very meaningful writing recently. The recipient's style was regarded as being cynical, sharp and violent, in spite of having polite access to her object. She disguised not to be interested in everything. She steals a walk on an observed person and let us hear bitten and sour stories.

I guess she believes in love. Her characters in this story are seemingly doubtful of desirable humane relationship. We usually go against with each other, even if there are lots of things in our mind to speak out toward 'you'. One experiences heart broken love affairs very often, while the other never goes through it in his life. We do not know who is luckier. After passing through big wave, we used to recognize of what we had just before. We know this world is filled with more sorrowful and painful stories which would make the broken love trivial. So, she seems to be sorry for referring to love. However, I'm sure that she trusts in love paradoxically despite her outward rejection.

As a common reader, I'd like to follow her trajectory path which I get accustomed to in the post modern society where most traditional values are considered as just being light. However, I always miss the fine hearted.

From Insa-Dong

I went Insa-Dong yesterday to look around the photo galleries. These days, we have an exbibition called 'Wake Up' hosted by Kimyoungseup Gallery. And also Gallery Lux, Gallery Now were following Kim youngseup the most renowned photo gallery.

In fact, Photograph was considered as applied or secondary one, not a serious field of fine art even years ago. Of course, there are great photographers such as Andres Serrano, Euge'ne Atget, Ansel Adams, Bill Brandt, Gyula halasz Brassai, Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Eanst Hssa and so on who dedicated themselves to the considerable and insightful photo art history. By virtue of their devotion to this realm, we think of photo as a big part of fine art. Futher more, even conventional artists have expanded their domains into being more adventurous and experimental, with have photo, fabric or any other objet put in their frames. Technics and Phenomenon which painting invades the territory of photo and vice versa are not strange to us any more.

So, a tryout of 'Wake up' is very familiar for us, showing new interpretation or exploration. We came to have more than 10 photo professional glleries in seoul and Gyungi provice, recently. Artistic photographers want to deliver their intention through the camera lens and subject. Sometimes, the camera expresses the subject being awkward or weird differently from our traditional expectation we have had for a long time. The subject the photographers took pictured stared at us uncomfortably. And we audience enjoy the strangeness because we are qualified with being stunned at new world they created.

This place have us saturated with beauty and high classical aroma. I stroke my camera and look into the lens for the time being, tonight. There is a distorted but perfect world inside it.

In the middle of 3GPP meeting...

Nowadays, I have attended 3GPP meetings.
It has been 3rd times since I first go abroad to join 3GPP in Shannhai last October.

It is because the 3GPP is the end of its period that I become to think that the standardization is not quiet related to 'Advanced Research Area'.
There are so many topics even in only RAN1 area.
However, when it comes to the research topics in SAIT, only the very small area in RAN1 is related to what we have been doing in SAIT.
Most topics discussed here are signaling issues related to controling format, how to report CQI/PMI, and rank something like that.
These are quiet 'Standardization Issue', not the research issues what we have beending doing in SIAT.

Before I leave Korea, my senior boss, VP asked me to remind the purpose of the business trip.
However, whenever I have presentation for the business trip in front of him,
he asked me more than I could and more than someone could get from 3gpp RAN1 standard meeting.
I'm nowadays quiet confussed when I think the reason for the attending 3GPP.

I think this is a very good chance for me to see the 'Big Picture', comparing to staying office only.
Although I could see the 'Bigger picture' than staying office, there is the limitation.
It's really hard to satisfy the VP.
Most of all, I should decide the reason for attending standard meeting first. And then, I could insist that the attanding this meeting is good for our team.

I'm now in the middle of meeting now.
I gotta go with many thoughts.

'China town' cooperating with mid-1970s

Let me think about my favorite. One of them is 'China town' directed by Roman Polanski in 1974. Faye Dunaway and Jack Nicholson were starring in this movie. I watched this again in 10 year. Its story seemed to be gloomy as well. Jerry Goldstein's music also made me dreary over the film. I didn't want to encounter this again. However I was drawn by it automatically as some metal would access to magnet. Faye Dunaway went back her hay day when she functioned as 'Femme fatale' apart from her recent movie 'Bar fly' that let me stunned.

We can guess Roman Polanski must have been pessimistic when he took this moving picture which was made just after his wife's death murdered by Charles Manson the false religious leader. If everything had been fine around Polanski, This movie might have had a less desolate or dismal end. But it was in the mid-1970s when America was about to consider the military withdrawal and had no choice but to accept of the defeat from seemingly tiny weak Vietnam. Lots of intelligent people felt disgust against the derailed policy and long war. They were sick of the situation that they had something to do with, in spite of their denial. The world looked sad and dark. Polanski was an avid representative who put his own construction on mid 70s. He appeared as an aggressive advocate through this movie who wanted to make points towards politicians or insensible friends what was wrong and what was going on out of their reach.

Find your flow

Does immersion lead us to better life? Csikszentmihalyi, the author of 'finding flow', says that's right. People usually think superficially that we would be happy when we are provided with enough time and money. However I would feel ill at easy even when I listen to music, read books or take a trip, theraphies which are generally advised to busy persons. I know the reason why. The reason is because I do not like those activities much . On the contrary, I feel worthless on myself when I just spend my time on passive fields and consuming jobs. Some people wish spare time to kill much more than now since they suffer from short time and hard work. Probably, they would be satisfied for hours or even days. However, sometimes, we get lost ourselves in the middle of complicated intersections, not figuring out where the right direction is. Everyone put their own gravity or importance on a different scale. Each one has so various capacity or size as to emphasize on different concept or value.

Csikszentmihalyi recommend us to find the quiet flow in respective minds if we want to look for the sound of yearning within soles. Then, we might find the way easily to immersion where we have ignored of.

FLUXUS Group

Fluxus means the flow, continuous change, move in Latin. It is a international Avant-garde art movement which extended over 1960-1970.

George Maciunas created the term 'Fluxus' as the tiltle of magazine in 1962 for the purpose to acknowledge the trend refusing the traditional art form or style. Fluxus tried to be apart from the art market, mechanical style or physical aggregation. Instead, it is more psychological and liberal art group, pursuing bohemian freedom than working together for a same target. It was not a systemic organization but a sort of timely remarks for individual or outsider.

It started in German and spreaded to Japan, other European countries and America. This movement caused the interchange without border and genre. Conseqently, this groups started to form various art styles and affected to genres such as concertos, events, publications and so on later. However, generally, this was a genre-free, country-free movement and tried to develop more ideal and bigger community. At first, It was based on Dada-ism, anti-art, anti-bourgeoisie, anti-civilization . It also wanted to fight against existing rules or resist to establishing orders. These artists seperated themselves from the tradition and eliticism, High Abstract Formalism which was the mainstream, exchanging communication directly with audience through positive, aggressive performances and festivals. From their performance, art became social tools using daily behaviors, resulting in democratic communicating instrument.

They wanted to speak out against the wrong-oriented interntional politics and corrupted culture. They strived to oppose commercialism and fascim, too. And This Fluxus group bacame the foundation for Feminism, Black power, Gay Art, Muti-cultualism in 1970s

Cooperating with the future

These days, we more think our idea is being formed by others than the past. If your blog have been popular or sensational, you must have welcome lots of visitors everyday. Sometimes, they may remain their ideas or explanatory information to your blog. Of course, you cooperate with them unconsciously or consciously so that you can produce a new blue print. Despite our being shyness, we are exposed to the heavily populated world inside web. We can meet new faces, exchange information, create ideas, which these elements may help us make new business or knowledge. We can enjoy surfing the net everyday and checking necessary information. These activities make us cleverer and smarter than before. We seem to be a sort of a world citizen in times. Subsequently, we can't help refusing the power of web.

Recently, I heard from a friend that he would immerse himself online much more and open himself toward the sea of the Internet. However, I worry he may be absorbed by this technology which is ready to gulp the reality. We know some people are enchanted with virtual world and make light of real world and people around them. Very open, I imagine that some boys or girls are kidnapped by computer monitor like animations or horror movies. Even though they are abducted, they would adapt themselves in new world without any embarrassing. People who are embarrassed with are others who left behind not abductees. I heard that new chips have been developed for the people who want to live in virtual world continually in spite of their unplugging time.

We worry the presence of Big brother. However the fascination toward web is so strong that we can't deny the terrifying wave. I'd like to have humane technology which really dedicates to human being even in the future, not clearing away our civilization.

I want to be optimistic. I'd like to have an affirmative posture toward the future. Probably, the future will take us to safe and nice place where we sometimes are afraid of but unprecedentedly inexperience. Even now, I am making this writing for cooperating with my friend by thanks of Internet. I expect him to revise my thought or letters into better ones. All of us are strangers, but at the same time, neighborhood within this net. Good luck!

2008 is the 4F's year

I, James, predict that 2008 is the 4F year. 4 is the perfect number among all natural numbers. 4F consists of feeling, fiction, female and freeture-free future. 3F that consists of feeling, fiction, female has been mentioned by John Naisbitt , the author of 'Mind set', so that I added freeture since free based future wise thinking is the more important key word than ever.

Jim Jarmusch & Murakami Haruki

Even ten years ago, I had considered Jim Jarmusch & Murakami Haruki as being eternal young men. Recently, I came to take a look at their latest pictures. And they are not any more fresh in their appearance and of course not in their works.

The name of Murakami Haruki itself has meant me youth, emptiness, nihility, vacancy since the late of 1980s. He swept the Korean reading public as well as Japanese readers. When I read his book 'Norwegian wood' 1n 1988, I also decided to be his fan forever. He had insightful and heeling ability to soothe forlorn young men who were embarrassed with new world where was about to start to be called post modernism or post industrial society. All of a sudden, How strange and unfamiliar our world looked. He had been a representative of all the wandering soul. Whenever his books were translated into Korean version, I was willing to be a busy reader. Until now, I like his book 'Hardboiled wonderland and the end of the world' which has really romantic mood and bisexual male character.

Jim Jarmusch also had overwhelmed the moviegoer public for the time being. His style, interpretation toward world seemed unique and refined. I felt the real loneliness in his movies. 'Stranger than paradise' took me the unfamiliar street I've never experienced before. We already had peculiar but popular directors like Leos Carax, Spike Lee or Wong Kar Wai. All of them used different grammar in their movies. We youngsters hailed them with acclamation. In fact, we were afraid of the unprecedented present and frustrated with unknowable life. The world of Jim Jarmusch helped us taste the inconceivable future.

They had been icons or portraits of late 80s and beginning 90s. Now They are also gaining ages like other contemporary friends. Yesterday, I watched Jim Jamusch's movie 'Permanent vacation', in times. It was directed when he was a real rookie before he debuted as a director. It was fresh at the same time out of fashioned.

They also turned established generation unexpectedly.

Jeff Koons and Ciciolina as Kitsch artists

Do you know about Jeff Koons? He is famous for showing 'Kitsch art' to the viewer since 1990s. These days, his works are paid attention by collectors and critics over the world. In spite of some of his works being really dirty and filthy, Jeff Koons is considered as reliable artist in art price or quality among living contemporary artists.
Today, I want to say a serial photos called 'Made in heaven' which is acknowledged as, in fact, pornography. I wonder whether or not this set of photos belongs to fine art like Mattew Barney who are dealing with similar themes. Because these series are surprisingly so obscene and nasty that we doubt our eyes in front of them how and why he took pictures. These photos would be displayed or shown under the note saying 'Adults Only' even in galleries or auctions. Two models are an artist himself and his ex-wife Cicciolina who was a porno star and Italian congress member. I will show their works below. Fantastic!

Now they divorced, ending up suing each other to the court. Once upon a time, even though they cooperated for their art, now they remain enemies through Roses' war.

A gem in our life

Did I have a gem in my life? Sadly speaking, I didn't. Since I was a young girl, I've never had a dream to do. I just have ambiguously tried to survive in this world for myself. Life seemed to vague and translucent. I am always in want of more ability to make friends and keep up with the trend.
The reason why I felt so impressed by Michelangelo Antonioni's movies is due to their emptiness and desolation. On watching them, I came to know, unconciously, at once that he was depicting my own stories. I must have lacked a gene to love someone and to be loved by others like main characters in these movies.
Regardless of being old, I become enchanted with many things differently from Confucius who announced the free from vacilation at the age of 40. On the contray, I'd rather enjoy my being tempted by men, friends, art, music and so on.
Recently, I like one man who gives the special inspiration beside himself. He is unique, full of passion and a little bit out of his mind. And it makes him special and attractive. I've never seen such a man before. I guess we have something in common. If he disappears, I won't put up with that situation. I bet I am close to death. He is a sort of Homme fatal for me.
Now, my life is overflown with emotion. Sometimes I am afraid of the excessive feeling. Wait and see until he is interpreted common to me. Is love a goal for our life. It is out of my reach. But love must be a jewel in our lonely life.

Blog Star

In Korea, there was a very famous movie whoes title is 'Radio star'. The main actor lives very similar life to me. He got very famous award as a singer when he was young. We couldn't forget the honor in our young and active ages even though our period had gone.

Art gallery and Auction

The tradition of Korean art gallery is very short and shallow, let alone auction. It is known that the beginning of gallery started from 1900 in Seoul. However, it is true the gallery under the modern meaning opened after 1960s in Korea.
Even though the history is somewhat poor compared with western part, we can't ignore the right function of the gallery : the exhibition, the sale of art works, the support for artists, the education for viewers and the like. The association of galleries must have been proud of its dedication to Korean art market and art level. It have connected collectors to artists and tried to show the high standard to the public. Above all, it had no an enemy or a rival to compete with for a long time.

At last it had a competitor : Art auction. Seoul auction appeared in 1998 and K-auction in 2005. Since then, galleries tended to lose its place as a main post of its field while auctions became healthy and obese. Instead, the auction started to encroach on the territory. Auction have caused sensational rage nationwide. It made people open their eyes on art as an object for investment or speculation going along with boom of international art market. Anyway it has a right to enjoy its success because it drew people to this world.

These days, galleries must have been feeling crisis. Some galleries may go through bankruptcy or financial difficulties. However, under the international view point, the advent and the leading role of the auction is unavoidable. Consequently, the gallery is in rivalry with the auction desperately.
However both of them also know it is time to cooperate with each other. They know it is easy to lead to a collapse of the whole industry.

About Korean Art Auction

Now, we welcome the boom of Korean art market. Differently from the past, many people are concerned with buying art works or art itself.

We attribute the skyrocketing of interest mainly to art auction. In spite of side effect of an excessive heat in the market, we can't deny people started to pay attention to art by virtue of the auction. Given that some think of art just as an object of investment or speculation, this overheated phenomenon of the market is interesting no longer. However, at the same time we can't not but accept its right function: The audience focus on art at any rate. We have never had the time before which art was considered as one of big issue in our society. Every day painters are introduced in newspapers and broadcasting news. Some of them are regarded as great stars and their works change new records in price.

We just had only one-Seoul Auction- even before 2005 when K-Auction started its industry from. And this year we came to have more auctions such as D-auction, M-auction and so on. Of course, these auctions are competitive in that they are dealing with purchase and sale of art pieces in the limited market. But in fact, they boast symbiotic relationship one another. Even if specific auctions- Seoul and K-run starring roles, all of them are functioning as the leading part of Korean art market which is not rooted in the stable base.

We know about two international major auction - Christie's and Sotheby's. They are in competition. But we recognize that one can't survive without the other.
Widely speaking, they are cooperating each other.

True Longtail Rule

True longtail rule is the combined rule of longtail and 1% rules. This rule is the technical and economical rule.

Gauss's theorem

Sometimes, the principle of ecosystem extends to the object-economy theory. Gauss's theorem is a representative strategy of competition which borrows the fundamental truth within ecosystem .
Today, I will give you an explanation about Gauss's theorem. Gauss, a Russian scientist, conducted two experiments.

First, he put two animals in same space whose family was same but species were different. Their nest was conditioned to have insufficient food. He observed what would be going on inside the small room. Despite occasional quarreling, two animals managed to survive, sharing short meal.

Second, he performed an identical test of same family and same species. However the result was completely different. They fought severely and knocked to death each other.

Gauss called this phenomenon the survival principal by differentiation. The more similar they are, the more they fight. Consequently, being alike demands intensive competition among contestants.

For additional knowledge, there is a famous china proverb which has the similar meaning of what we have talk above. That is, the nearer people the more fighting (competition), the further people the more companying (cooperation).

The nature of cooperation

Yesterday night, a friend told that people usually cooperate well with an new comer or unfamiliar person rather than an intimate neighbor. It reminded me of one Korean proverb : I am jealous of neighbor´s success or An envious man waxes with the fatness of his neighbor. The more we appreciate these witty remarks, the more we are disappointed with selfishness of human being. So, some people tend to be pessimistic about a cooperative attitude between A & B. If we always have a competitive spirit to the core, is cooperating just false?

Another friend had an answer. His view point is very clear and accurate. He announced that we should accept the jealousy within people. However, since we are based on a sense of selfishness, we try to maintain the peaceful achievement. Because,we do not want to harm the job or the relationship we are related to. And he said it will open the way to a cooperation.

I think second friend also took a gloomy view about people. But he has an ability to transform the blue idea into the desirable one.

Network MIMO

What is network MIMO?

Cooperation for wireless network

Up to now, wireless networks has been developed to make users compete each other. For instant, the user scheduler in the cellular network selects the user whose wireless channel is the best of all. Therefore, each user report his status as accurate as possible. He doesn't care other user when he report his channel quality. Even though his channel is good, if he continuously report his good channel quality, the other use whose channel is worse will receives much lower speed data. Consider the case the high quality user becomes in bad condition, his receiving performance will be also bad. Therefore, we need some cooperation to avoid this phenomena. One emerging way to avoid this inequality is to use cooperative diversity.

Competition vs. Cooperation

Competition has been important for development up to now. However, humans who are able to cooperate with others were always better than ones who are not in terms of his success. Cooperation is not easy task for human being since we are always selfish. However, wise-man knows that cooperation will give much more gain than always to be in the competition mode.
