Dear Commentators on my blog,
After getting comments that all have a link to a website advertising smartphones (or other related products,) I've decided to make an amendment to my comment policy. Actually I've never had a comment policy before. I always wanted to have kind of an open forum environment in my comment - even if I've never stated this before. However these comments that seem to be shameful advertising and contain somewhat "spam"-y links cannot keep popping up in my blog.
I've decided that I will no longer be allowing comments with links in them, particularly those with shortened links and display text that is different than the link itself (letter by letter).
I really wish I didn't have to do this but I know that apparently the "bot"-like users of the Internet won't be stopping their antics anytime soon. I believe it really only happens on my technology blog posts. This is especially true when I write about the iPhone, even if it's criticism.
Now don't leave spam links in your comments,
TheArtistAsian

An update - 9/29/2013
I'm sorry that I can't write blog posts on a consistent schedule. I promise I'll try to make them more consistently. I plan to finish a blog about every week or two, most probably on a Friday. It's because I want to use my time better. I'd rather stimulate my brain to write a blog post than to let it fall into dystrophy while I'm on Facebook.
Anyways, I have a few updates.
1) At the end of the summer, I got a Surface Pro and I'm planning on making a personal review of it. So far, I like it and I'll go out of my way to include more than what every online review says about this tablet/laptop hybrid. I won't be doing benchmark testing or anything remotely like that because that's for computer pros who know what they're talking about. I'll be speaking about the Surface Pro for the laymen of the computer world.
2) I have a lot of ideas for blog posts. They're just all in draft mode in my post queue.
3) I love art but I get very distracted when I'm not studying... so I had an idea to draw everyday on a whiteboard. I know it's a real compromise but at least I can practice on my lines. I won't be uploading pictures of what I draw everyday but it's better than nothing. I think I'll make it a Tumblr exclusive thing because those drawings won't be polished enough for deviantArt material.
4) I've been reading some books and I have some responses that I'd like to upload. I feel that perhaps that if my responses were on sheets of paper that would sit in my room, then they would not get much of an audience reach or maybe even some good responses. So, I want to put them on the Internet. I'm pretty sure I won't ever be a literary critic (nor do I want to - critics always peruse for the cons of everything they read about and hardly ever have completely good reviews about anything, kind of like that food critic from the movie Ratatouille).
5) Since the word "Asian" is in my Internet name, I have plenty of blog posts about how being Asian is usually detrimental (in my own experiences) when I come across people, usually in school. If I'm outside school, I really don't have any problems about my Asian-American identity.
So... that's all for now. I hope that someday this blog will become more than a place for my thoughts.
