Yoo's World - book autograph http://chungyc.org/category/story-tags/book-autograph en Autographed edition of Bursts http://chungyc.org/story/2011/05/autographed-edition-bursts <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p> I had gone to the <a href="http://www.seouldigitalforum.org/">Seoul Digital Forum</a> this week. Given that I was part of the audience during a couple of the sessions that were broadcast live on the television station <a href="http://www.sbs.co.kr/">SBS</a>, there is a negligible chance that my face appeared in the broadcast, but that isn't the exciting part. </p> <p> While I have many authors that I admire, I'm not usually the sort to chase book signing events. However, there were a bunch of book signings scheduled for the forum, and considering that I was going to the event anyway, I couldn't resist getting a book signed by <a href="http://www.barabasi.com/">Albert-László Barabási</a>, a well-known scientist who is frequently cited in my field of research. Of course, to get his book signed, I first needed to actually get the book, so I hurriedly ordered a copy of <a href="http://barabasi.com/bursts/"><cite>Bursts</cite></a> from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/">Amazon</a>. And personally, it feels weird to get a book signed which I haven't even read, which meant a rapid read through the book in a few days. That took up all my spare time, considering it wouldn't be proper if I just skimmed it through. </p> <p> And voilà! I am now a proud owner of an autographed edition of <cite>Bursts</cite>: </p> <div style="text-align:center;margin:0 auto;"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chungyc/5767757084/" title="Bursts by chungyc, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2429/5767757084_aa9ff20f05.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="Bursts" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chungyc/5767757692/" title="Bursts autograph by chungyc, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2736/5767757692_ce4393cf0b.jpg" width="334" height="500" alt="Bursts autograph" /></a> </div></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-2 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Story tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/category/story-tags/book-autograph">book autograph</a></div></div></div> Sat, 28 May 2011 10:19:51 +0000 Yoo 416 at http://chungyc.org http://chungyc.org/story/2011/05/autographed-edition-bursts#comments
