About SoundKeepers

I wanted to thank you for taking your time to visit my site. I am very pleased to inform you that SoundKeepers.com is growing. What seem like an effortless fun has become a great source of fulfillment. I would like to write a couple of lines to express my thoughts and to give you a few update.

There are many reasons to write this letter. The first reason is to express how thankful I am to great e-mails that you have sent for me over the years. I don't respond to all, but I do "read" them all. Some have shared how they use the e-mail chess program to communicate with their family and their love ones. Some have told me their appreciation towards GRE vocabulary flip cards. I also have been receiving some silent support from some of you, meaning you are enjoying the services. I thank you.

I have thought about expanding our Email Chess Program(SoundChess). Although pretty simple to create this new service, I have been holding back on making this step. There are other sites that give you all that. There isn't a need to reinvent the wheel. I have been thinking about a new approach to the wheel; However, the wheel seems to be too rounded and doesn't give me much room to create an angle. People enjoy SoundChess due to its private nature. All the games you play are deleted from my system after a month along with your e-mail addresses. I like the fact that my visitors choose to come to my site. It would be a self-degrading act of selfishness if I(or my programs) begin to send you unwanted emails to lure you back into my site. We all know how many junk emails we can get.

The art section of my site is filled with some art from me and some friends I know. They probably get the least amount of attention. The images take up too much disk space and It is hard to grow and to justify expanding my art section.

I have become an avid runner in recent years. It just began one day. I knew nothing about running, though. I had bought a pair of sneakers from Boston one fall and it still looked new. I was spending many hours by myself at the time. I ran hard everyday. Faster and longer. I needed to see an improvement everyday. My super-human ego didn't last long, though. I hurt my knee and I could not run for a while. My recovery was a slow one. I kept going out for a run to see if my knee was okay. I end up aggravating my knee. My ego was crushed by my own doings. I laugh thinking about those days. It was a good time of my life. Nothing like a good life lesson for one's soul. I was a runner after those painful days. I didn't want to run to break some record people owned. I didn't want to run to break my own record day after day. I simply enjoy running now like a good animal I am. I run my own races now. I don't dream to run a marathon, but I will embrace it if I am able. Anyway, I wanted to educate new runners and to modivate runners. I created a Running Section. It's still bit vague where I am going with this section, but It will shape itself. Please stay tuned.

My life is filled with life these days. My site is yet to reveal its true purpose and its calling. Thank you for visiting my site. I hope there are things you can gain by being a part of my web.

Best Regards,

Jechul Wee
