Last Post of 2008: Resolutions, Pt. 2.
Video: “Hanabi” (Fireworks) by Mr. Children It’s time for my end of the year retrospective, along with my web resolutions. Since this blog is only three months old, it’s my first end of year retrospective. So I’ll try to make … Continue reading
AsianWeek Going Electronic Only
The paper is no more, according to AngryAsianMan and the Celadon Review. Another victim of this. They’ll still be online, but the print edition will be gone after 30 years. AsianWeek was the best known and largest Asian American English … Continue reading

Words N' Sales
We’ve got lots of writers on bigWOWO, and the big question for those who follow the publishing industry is this: where’s the money? I’ve blogged about it here and here, and now I’m going to blog on it again. This … Continue reading
Resolutions, Pt. 1
We’ve got less than a week left in the year. Now might not be a bad time to start thinking about New Year’s Resolutions. I just read this Washington Post piece on Obama’s workout routine: “That’s one of the first … Continue reading
UFC 92

More Annoying White Privilege from the Extremely Powerful
From the very first sentence of this CNN article: A candidate for the Republican National Committee chairmanship said Friday the CD he sent committee members for Christmas — which included a song titled “Barack the Magic Negro” — was clearly … Continue reading
Merry Christmas!
We’ve been snowed in for a week now. However, I’m happy since this is the first snowy Portland Christmas that I remember. Hope everyone is safe and warm!
Culture around a Book
I’m a writer. Not a paid writer, but a writer who someday hopes to get paid. At the same time, I wonder whether I have enough overlap with general mainstream tastes and values. I’m not a big fan of Chang-Rae Lee … Continue reading
MMA and Really Young Kids
A NY Times advertisement led me to the Responsibility Project (which looks like an advertising campaign from Liberty Mutual…though the site is suprisingly slow) where they discussed MMA and kids–two subjects which interest me. I’ve blogged about kids and MMA before, … Continue reading
