Resurrecting this blog for a reason

[update May 2018]

Now it's ten years later

This was an old blog post from 2008. Can you believe that this was 10 years ago!?

Now that we have that out of the way, we want to use the more robust Blogger engine to see what kind of a blog and website we can build here on the Google-powered infrastructure in the cloud.

It looks like Blogger can be actually quite useful for solid content that of course Google would know how to crawl and rank and have show up in its search engine results. In case you didn't know, Google owns Blogger.

The back story, if you're interested

This was a blog created as a placeholder on Blogger, so my username would be reserved for me and no one else could take it. Well, that part is true, no one has taken it. And according to the statistics portion, there's only been 20 views all time. So it's been in pretty quite safe keeping in the "dark web."

Now with the internet namespace expansion of over a thousand new domain extensions like .CLUB, .NEWS, .CHURCH, and .BIBLE, and many many more, I've added a custom domain, actually subdomain, to be used with this blog.

Meaning, this is not a blog on a blogspot.com subdomain. Rather, it is at the URL of blog.djchuang.bible—so you can personally experience how well a new gTLD domain works with Blogger. What are the benefits? I'll consider writing that up in a future blog post.

Do you call this the information age or digital age? Or something else?

Wikipedia says, or at the moment of this posting: The Information Age is a 21st century period in human history characterized by the rapid shift from traditional industry that the Industrial Revolution brought through industrialization, to an economy based on information technology. Other terms for this time that we find ourselves in, include: Computer Age, Digital Age, New Media Age What's next after the information age? Some people are trend-watchers (and others are trend-setters; and most people are just normal trend-followers, though there's a few who are trend-resistors and trend-avoiders). Do you wonder what is beyond the information age ? In 2014, Julian Birkinshaw (London Business School) wrote: The industrial revolution in the late nineteenth century ushered in the industrial age, and the digital revolution in the mid twentieth century spurred the emergence of the information age. So it is not entirely crazy to speculate about what ...

After the information age, what could be next?

Technology has this innate momentum (or intertia) to continue developing until the hypothetical end when the infinite game of life as we know it reaches its final destination. People have different guesses on what that end is or when it might happen. Though we don't have a date, a religion like Christianity has one answer of what it would look like when it happens. Not sure I've seen if there's a scientific answer for when the world will end due to factors like global warming, or the expansion of the universe, or something else. Technology Is Heading Somewhere If the question is framed as, " What does technology want? " - that assumes that technology has some kind of an inherent bias to move towards something that it wants. Kevin Kelly wrote a book with that question as the title . And this video ted.com is worth watching to get the full context. What is the conclusion? Kevin Kelly alludes to what technology wants in a few statements like these: So...

The fastest way to get nonprofit status

It doesn't have to take a year (or more) to get nonprofit status for your project, initiative, or community venture. I know it can get really complicated trying to jump through all the hoops to setup a nonprofit organization and get that tax-exemption status for purchasing certain products and services or tax-deductible eligibility for charitable donations. And, depending on what your organization wants to do in 3 years or 30 years into the future, you can still go through the entire process for setting up a full-fledge nonprofit organization. But, in the meantime, you can get nonprofit status for your project in less than a week so supporters can more happily donate to your project!
