Welcome to Eric's blog


This is my personal blog, it contains my personal diaries ( both in English and Chinese ), as well as some other articles I found interesting. funny and worth sharing.

I have recently released my professional blog @ ecodereviewer.com, but the articles can still be accessed via this blog. The difference is that the category list has been limited to professional only on the professional blog.

Happy blogging.
