Just so you know, the feature of having printable drill sheets should most definitely NOT be low priority. It might very well be your magic key to getting institutions on board. My…

I actually found with several of the characters that the stroke order it dictated was not correct. Meaning that if I tried to write it in the correct order, it wouldn't keep my str…

I will second the fact that the UI is very confusing. The functions of the buttons as compared to the graphics did not make sense to me at all.

The level for basical fluency is 800 characters. Research done has shown that by knowing these 800 characters (which have been specifically determined) will allow you to read 80% o…

Thanks for sharing. I just graduated last August, and experienced these same persistent feelings all throughout my college career. I'm often the type of person who can be surrounde…

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned NearlyFreeSpeech yet. They offer very reasonably priced a-la-carte hosting solutions, with no monthly plan requirement, so you don't get screwed …

Very cool. One thing I noticed is that it has "all" messages posted, including ones the user may have deleted off of their Twitter feed... Seems that once it is sent out into the T…

Great read. I will be adding this blog to my Reader, for sure. I would say that although most companies wait until their logo is "burned" into the memory of customers, changing up …

Perhaps I am "just" an introvert, and not a loner -- the author does say they aren't the same thing -- but I didn't so much care for the tone of this article and thus will probably…
