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.

2nd Generation Chinese Evangelical Use of the Bible in Identity Discourse in North America

Article excerpt from "Second-Generation Chinese Evangelical Use of the Bible in Identity Discourse in North America," by Timothy Tseng, published in Semeia 90/91 (2002) 251–67, copyright © 2002 by the Society of Biblical Literature . (pp. 255-257)— Since the 1970s, identity discourse among Chinese evangelicals in North America has focused on urging immigrant church leaders to accept their socialization into North American culture and to share power and resources more equitably. During the NACOCE conferences in 1972, 1974, and 1978, advocates for North American–born Chinese pressed for greater attention. In 1978, a small group of West Coast American-born pastors received endorsements from NACOCE to form the Fellowship of American Chinese Evangelicals (FACE). This group sought to address the perceived problem of a high “drop out” rate among American-born Chinese (ABC) in Chinese churches, cultivate ABC church leadership, advocate for ABC ministries within Chinese churches, an...

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!

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 ...
