I can’t tell you how bummed out I am that TypeKey doesn’t seem to want to work for me. I’ve had several folks look at it - oh well.

So I’d like to reach out to Don Park - as the guy I just signed a deal with in Korea is named Park and then there’s Troutgirl (who WON’T be my friend on Y 360) and so many other Parks, Kims and Lees. And I won’t even get into the Moons.

I heard that the reason why there are so many of these common names - is that as Korea was leaving the fuedal era - these names were the cheapest ones to buy - for theserfs - as they sought out last names.

For many centuries lower caste people were not allowed last names.

So YES - I’ll be returning to Korea - YES - I want to meet everyone’s friends and hang - and I especially want to meet the OhMyNews folks.

I really dug Korea. The cyber culture is highly evolved in the masses - the whole place is a perculator petrie dish.
