The Future ‘it’ Job ?!?!
Yesterday I go to Indonesia Cellular Show 2009, I get a free magz from Indosat, I found an unique yet funny article. The article is about the maybe future ‘it’ job ?!. Yes, these are list of possible-future ‘it’ job in 5 or 10 years from now. Future ‘it’ Job here means that the job will be soon realized by people is a make-alot money-job. Curious ? What all those job are ?
Okay lets begin from number one, is Tweet Journalist. In the future, a news reporter like Rosiana Silalahi (Famous reporter from Indonesia) will soon left by the viewer or not will going to make any commercial income (business point) again. ‘Cause twitter make us to delivery hot news with only 140 characters.
Two, Blog Commentator. OKay blog as money-maker-machine is true, but blog without any feedback fom the visitors like comment or something will be like useless. Some of blogger tired to pretend to comment their own blog to create a traffic web. Thats why, later will be many big companies will hired blog commentator to reply all comment or input from blog viewer (consumen).
Three, Buzz Creator. In case, if only the companies failed to find any complaint or hot-willbe topic .They need Buzz Creator, the one who rsponsibilty to create a new and hot gossip for their brand image and publicity.
Forth, Status Watcher : Yes facebook lately were obviously troblous us, it could be just text but it does really need for attention. From status facebook people could make people’s name raising or even down like a sh*t. Status watcher really needed by the future . He / she’ll do compromy with HRD from many companies. One for sure, status’s effect is really huge or even more huge.
Fifth, Hacker. This job not really a new one. Poeple know about this typical job. Yes, if you feel tired with internet world with all value in it, just hack them, than you’ll start enjoying it again from begining.
Well, how about you guys ? interesting with one of future ‘it’ job or still choose ‘hot’ conventional job like lwayer and doctor ?
Me vs (+) My Dad
OK, this is not a true fighting between me and my father. I want post something fact about me and my dad, also fact about what I felt when he died 3 years a go.
Well, my dad, he was one of my best friend in my life, and he’s the one who’s the most closest person to me in a family. Maybe because I’m the last child in a family, so we get close to each other. We like to tell our story to each of us, for example he like to tell a story about his brother - sister when he was a kid (can u imagine ? his mother supposed to have 10 or 12 child, but only three child who are still live until 1990’s), tell about his biggest dream to strewing batak ethnical, also to built a big company in the field of sending Indonesian labor to other country, and many more.
Now, lets we start facts about my father and my self.
First, my father is an old black skin father (even not black as an afro-america, but he does really black, the most black in a family), how about me ? i’m white skin (not so white like chinese, but surely i’m the most white male in a family).
Second, my father the one who always taught me about democracy and tolerance to others. So thats why now I always could apply all those things in my life (some of people who know me, always say that I am a democracy one and open minded person).
Third, He supposed to be a doctor if he had finish his study in Nomensen University (North Sumatera) , fact he drop out from the university when about first or two year class only began. but of course my father get his political science bachelor degree from Terbuka University (Jakarta). Me ? hahaha,, a little bit sort of like my dad, I’m out from my college (law faculty in Udayana University, Bali, Indonesia) after a year study there. I made a decision to cut from my class, after my father passed a way in 2006.
Indonesia stand at Rank #79
Yesterday I did browse to forbes.com, and I found a good article. This article about Best Countries for Business, mentioned in the article that my country Indonesia rank on 79 from 127 Countries on the list. This position from country who only make GDP/Capita $3,900, get better than previous year in 2007 which at #81. Overall Indonesia do progress, for example like Monetary Freedom ranked at 92, Investor Protection at 11 and Personal Freedom at 54, but yet get down point on Tax Burden at 77 and Technology at 83.
Here is a full complete article about Indonesia’s rank at Best Countries for Business (Forbes version) :
” Indonesia, a vast polyglot nation, has made significant economic advances under the administration of President YUDHOYONO, but faces challenges stemming from the global financial crisis and world economic downturn. Indonesia’s debt-to-GDP ratio in recent years has been declined steadily because of increasingly robust GDP growth and sound fiscal stewardship. The government has introduced significant reforms in the financial sector including tax and customs reforms, the use of Treasury bills, and improved capital market supervision. Indonesia’s new investment law, passed in March 2007, seeks to address some of the concerns of foreign and domestic investors. Indonesia still struggles with poverty and unemployment, inadequate infrastructure, corruption, a complex regulatory environment, and unequal resource distribution among regions. The non-bank financial sector, including pension funds and insurance, remains weak, and despite efforts to broaden and deepen capital markets, they remain underdeveloped. Economic difficulties in early 2008 centered on high global food and oil prices and their impact on Indonesia’s poor and on the budget. The onset of the global financial crisis relieved inflation but also brought a host of new problems: a rout in the stock market, a difficult environment for bond issuance, lower prices for Indonesia’s commodities exports, and prospects for lower growth overall. ” (taken from : http://www.forbes.com)
Well, I admit that this rank not bring a big credit to Indonesia, but I am pretty sure with this rank by Forbes could make our country get motivated to do better and more better in the next day start from today. For more information, other country in South East Asia, Singapore stand at #3, and Malaysia do a big moved from #25 on lst year become #13.

My blog logo.

Today, May 09th, 2009 - Saturday about 4pm. I’ve made my first blog logo. Inspiration to make logo for my blog come when I saw again and again my blog, and see the logo before (from themes plugin), the more I see it, the more my mind tell me to change the logo. I use to make it as simple as I can. I use only three color, black, grey-green, and purple-grey. I admit this logo is far away from word ‘perfect’ or even far from ‘good enough’, but I quite satisfied with it ’cause I make this by my self.
Three hours, that’s the time I took to make this logo, and, yes it is sounds a long time to make a logo with result like mine, but for me it’s quite fast for me, for the one who know nothing about design and kind of that things. Here I want say thank to my brother-in-law, Capluk who’ve been so nice to borrowing me and my brother his notebook with the internet connection also, almost a week untill now, so I could always up-date my blog and also create this logo.
I hope with creating this logo, could stimaiate my passion to always make this blog become better and better in the future.
