I send one article for Sonetter -- our internal publication , an online magazine to communicate internally, the editor in chief is our PR Head, who asked me to contribute " Word from CEO " each time, since last version, a new chapter was launched, we welcome free contribution for any article , as head of PR asked if I am interested to write one, it trigger my blood for casual writing. the short story I wrote is about an legendary Jazz virtuoso who lead the Taiwan Jazz scene for decades, via one of an senior drummer, we met in crossroad where I become the witness to the dying of an Super artist, this is a true story, but I re-write it to a novel like story. I spend a couple of hours reshape and polish this work, it's been a long time since I write something in literary.
I had an idea to publish a book in conjunction with my personal history and to link it with music as background, I even give the book a title, called " 100 songs ", this is an ambitious goal for me, to write 100 story about me and to decorate it with music, the story must be touching and the history should not boring. due to the sonneter contribution, I may speed up the writing and hopefully to publish the book by end of this year.
Lunch with Itoh provide me a guidance to better monitor our IT / Engineering development, I rather write it down before forget it all :
1. new tech doesn't equal to good tech; if stupid tech win the heart of user, don't change it.
2. always check and balance , make it a routine .
3. cross -dept. idea solicitation for IT investment , don't count on IT team only.
4. when it comes for new equipment purchasing, ask : do you try all the alternative and show you the record ? do they optimize the system before call it a capacity problem.

I shall keep it in mind to perform a good judgment and act as non-tech executive in technology company.

a new typhoon is hitting Taiwan now, according to Central Weather Bureau, this is a speed-up one which shall arrive by Sat. but all of a sudden, something drive the speed, well, this is kind of lucky for me, as I plan to bring my wife to Taitung on Sat. and bought the traveling package already.
