2.5 hours of Mandarin
Submitted by osg on Mon, 2008/08/11 - 08:06So much for a 90 minute lesson. We were at it for 2.5 hours! I am learning short Chinese poems. For character writing practice, I found ISBN 978-0-8048-3816-0, titled Learning Chinese Characters: A revolutionary new way to learn and remember the 800 most basic Chinese characters volume 1. It will get you to HSK Level A.

sustaining a photography hobby
Submitted by osg on Thu, 2008/08/07 - 19:01This idea came about when my friend Dan inspired me with this photo.
Products:
- bookmarks
- blank business cards - where you can write whatever "business" you might have in mind on it
- cards w/envelopes
- mouse pads
- un/framed photos
- placemats at the dinner table
- refrigerator magnets
- puzzles - for adults and for kids
- learning tools for classrooms - charts of related subject matter
- paperweights with an image on each side
- mugs with photo on it
Sales/trade locations:
- internet
- artist collaboration events - like a friend giving a recital and you displaying photographs with a price tag on each
- exchange photos for something else, like unlimited supply of coffee at a local coffee shop when you go in there if you rotate your photos each month
- meet someone who focuses solely on trade rather than money
