Talking about myself
This Post is Not Yet Rated
Love Parade (or for some reason this year, “LoveFest”) is an outdoor electronic music festival and parad which I believe started in Germany. The San Francisco version happened the Saturday before last and marked the beginning of the most ridiculously long day I’ve had in a long time.

Jane Kim for San Francisco School Board
jane kim for san francisco school board
Originally uploaded by head.zoo.keeper. I’d be remiss to not mention my future roommate and brilliant friend Jane Kim’s campaign for San Francisco school board I’ve only been here a year and probably won’t have kids in the forseeable future, but that doesn’t mean I don’t think the education system could [...]
Internet Child
Overheard at a bookstore a conversation between a mom and her child, who couldn’t be older than 7:
Mom: Just look for it on eBay when you get home, ok?
Kid: Ok.
(Kid starts looking at DVD movies on their way out)
Mom: Don’t get any movies here. If you see any movies you want to watch, tell Dad [...]
Ninjas, Awesome They Are, Yes?
Approximate progression of conversation which started at Cam’s birthday at Golden Gate park and continued through until early evening at Glenda’s:
Glenda: We should take Cam and Buzz’s visiting brother, Bobby to the Yoda Fountain!
Buzz: Ok, but I want to take Bobby to this pizza place for dinner first so we’ll meet later
Glenda: Dude, so we’re [...]
Good Ol’ Rock. Nothing Beats Rock.
Sergio, Min Jung, Glenda and I made a trip up to the Roshambo Winery for the 4th Annual Rock Paper Scissors Tournament (which rumour has it, ESPN2 covered). I think “silly” is the only word to describe this event.
The rules were pretty simple. Three rounds of best of three, standard ladder. There were 256 competitors [...]
Hear Me Roar
… or hear me speak. There’s two podcasts now of the IA Summit talk we did in March. Livia Labate kindly posted some recordings including our session. AOL Mountain View also has an interview with us. Surprisingly, I didn’t say “um” a lot, but I do need to work on more varied intonations.
I Guess Those Video Games Paid Off
Today’s my friend Matt’s bachelor party day. As part fo the activities for the day, we spent the morning at Rapid City Trap Club where I fired a gun for the first time in my life. I was pretty apprehensive about the whole thing but found that I actually enjoyed it more than I expected. [...]
Maker Faire 1 - SFIFF 0
I went to Maker Faire over the weekend with Tantek (and ran into Nicole, Brandon, Leonard and many others). We didn’t arrive until quite late due to a number of circumstances (including some protesting on Bill 42) and I have to say I was pretty disappointed. Not in the Faire but in myself for not [...]
LAPE3 POP
This weekend, I’ll be at the Alternative Press Expo (APE) for the first time. I’m glad that there’s a strong independent creator community here in San Francisco and am looking forward to a different crowd from the design conferences. Brandon and Nicole have graciously offered to share their table with Min Jung, Courtney, Robert and [...]
Fray Cafe 6 - Tales of Immigration Officials
Min Jung convinced me to partake in her upcoming Lap-Pop event. It’s supposed to be a convergence of Asian Americans and geekery, hosted by Locus Arts. The idea is to get some Asian American bloggers/photologgers to share their writing, art, photography and/or music. The first one was excellent and featured readings from Ernie, Glenda and [...]
