For someone who makes one’s daily bread from technology, I have to say Seattle just has over done it with tech. This morning, at my hotel, they had a waffle maker that had a computer controlled self-timer! (The microwave, hot water heater and toasters were not working because the circuit breaker had blown, however). The [...]

I’m running after the fleeting twilight on my way to Seattle. It’s been like this for the last four hours: us extending the sunset at 35,000 feet. We passed by a thundercloud somewhere over the Pennsylvanian countryside. Seeing the real thing face to face is so much more dramatic than what is seen in the [...]

I just drove 108 miles in the last 12 hours. This may not seem like a big deal to anyone outside of NYC, but 1. this was between 7 PM and 7 AM this morning, and 2. the drive was completely within Brooklyn and Queens, and 3. New Yorkers hate to drive, especially between the [...]

Excited about the Piston’s winning. I am with Coach Brown, a “purist” with the game. His Detroit Pistons play with teamwork, discipline and desire – the “right way”. It’s all about fundamentals. =YC

Following the 60th anniversary of D-Day in Europe, let’s not forget that WWII had a warfront in the Pacific side, and so the NY Times reports how, with less fanfare, Saipan of the Northern Mariana Islands honors the D-Days of the Pacific. The article notes; [M]any Saipan veterans and their supporters gathered here on Tuesday [...]

Hmm. Could it be – that the LA Lakers are going to say bye-bye to its winning ways? Could it be that the Detroit Pistons are the NBA champions? Hmm. Linda Greenhouse of the NY Times puts in her two cents on the Pledge of Allegiance case. I like the way she highlights irony in [...]

While having a late lunch of fried chicken with my co-workers, there was a sudden commotion. Loud screeching of brakes… a crash… short popping sounds.. thunk. We all dashed to the balcony to see what had happened. A black car seemed to have hit the side of an SUV, causing it to veer left into [...]

The news is out – the Supreme Court has ruled on the Pledge of Allegiance case. The NY Times has this posting up (Linda Greenhouse is probably hard at work on her article as I speak). I have not read the Court’s opinion yet, but the Court apparently essentially came down to this: “Eight justices [...]

The perfect spring Saturday in NYC! The weather’s so wonderful – sunshine, not too warm, not brisk. Just right. Is Mother Nature holding global warming at bay today? Darn straight she is! The news junkie that I am – am I amazed by how nostalgic the media has been about the Reagan era this week. [...]

Just saw this one — it pretty much encapsulates the Asian American experience in a single scene. It would be a great script for a short film. http://www.minjungkim.com/archives/001623.html
