I’m in an Asian Standard Time zone; I got suckered into helping a Korean group with a printing job. They farmed out the job to a high school student, which by itself is not a problem, but the student tried to lay out 56 pages using Photoshop and set the resolution to 72 dpi. Ouch. [...]

Tuesday night: I caught most of NBC’s “My Name is Earl” (wherein actor Jason Lee plays this Southern hick, Earl, who decides to improve his luck by improving his karma – i.e., redeem himself for all the bad things he did). The ads in Entertainment Weekly (wherein you flip open a page and listen to [...]

Hurricane Rita in the Gulf. Umm. Hmm. What woman could be the next US Supreme Court justice? Slate’s Emily Bazelon does an analysis – one could be troubled by the conservative women already on the federal appeals bench: The women on the shortlist are crazy or lightweights or both, the naysayers complain. In their most [...]

Been a really hectic September. Flew to KL twice and back going through Changi and HK on the way back. Cathay’s hub in HK is nice but the layover can get really long and tiring. B- and I just finished moving out of our old place and into our new place. it’ll take a lot [...]

Usually this mostly involves getting your hands on some of the extremely sweet pastry. However, it also is one [...]

The past couple of days in the city has been a sweltering humid ick. NY Times’ Thomas Friedman is in Singapore, and he came up with this analysis of Singapore’s reaction to US’ Hurricane Katrina situation: There is something troublingly self-indulgent and slothful about America today – something that Katrina highlighted and that people who [...]

My alma mater got mentioned prominently in this article. Not surprising since my school is the leader in this area. But the stakes got raised this year and looks to be much more competitive from the boys out West. Go Tartans! =YC

Well, a short announcement that I’m moving. But it’s just right down the street from where I am. It’s a 4th floor walkup that’s lets me do the home office thing. B- will be back from M’sia tomorrow.

Registered NYC Democrats: did you vote today? It’s your civic duty. Really. But, an altogether odd primary election, I will say. Haven’t been entirely impressed by the candidates. But, I liked this article in the NY Times about the NYC electorate – Sam Roberts reports that NYC white population may very well be a voting [...]
