Cheers, and thank you again for being part of this journey!

The desinger of U Chicago Press provides two potential covers of my new book! 😀 Couldn't decide which is better. What do you think?

I just learned that there are no BOA, Citi, or other big banks in Hawaii... So I had to "tip" nearly $5 for whatever cash withdrawal I made, the only purpose of which was to prepare to tip...

the message mentions something like 20% royalty... but I don't know the detail....

Yeah I think I would sign it

Thanks! :)

Received an email from Cambridge U. Press, saying that CUP is receiving content licensing requests from providers of GenAI. "...We are contacting you... to request your consent for your work to be included in new licensing routes."

Really interesting...🤔 a ChatGPT edition of my book...

Tsinghua Institute for Advanced Study in Humanities and Social Sciences (TIAS), where I serve as a faculty, is recruiting TIAS Society of Fellows (2025). Every year we expect to welcome about TEN new posdocs from various disciplines. Check it out😁
