This week, an associate sent me a couple links to FineCount [EXPIRED LINK REMOVED:https://www.techfuels.com/everything-else/17295-word-count-multiple-files], a shareware program that he finds useful and which is free for personal use. It can be downloaded from this [EXPIRED LINK REMOVED: https://www.sharewareplaza.com/finecount-downloads_37248] Whichever...
I came across a remarkable piece in the Jungang Daily newspaper yesterday. I say it’s remarkable because within just a small print space, the article provides a unique glimpse into the Korean mindset of today and illustrates factors from the past that have contributed to this outlook.

Korean portal site, Daum.net, offers a mapping service of Korea that is very similar to Google Maps. And just as Google has been unrolling their Street View across North America, so Daum is doing the same in South Korea with Road View. This is where 360-degree photos are taken by...

Today marks the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. This event is being celebrated around the world as the symbolic beginning of the end of the Cold War. But to Koreans, the Cold War hasn’t fully ended yet as the separation between the two Koreas at the...
My colleague, D. Bannon, recently published a book on translation subtitling. He’s probably the best Korean translator today for Korean > English literary works.
