Congratulations on renewing your domain, FC; may we continue enjoying the website! The passing of Stan Berenstain, the co-creator of the Berenstain bears. The new Nightline: well, it’s only been a few days. Cynthia McFadden from the Times Square studio; Martin Bashir did a story on deaf high school football players (very nice story from [...]

I renewed the domain name for this blog today, as it was going to run out tomorrow for another two years on register.com . They are not the cheapest, but I did get to talk to a human in a reasonable amount of time as I had forgotten the password for the account. I also [...]

Had a double Thanksgiving this weekend – Thursday at P’s parent’s house, and on Saturday, I cooked at my mom’s house. P’s mom, as a former housekeeper, did the complete Martha Stewart deal, including a perfectly rosted turkey, mushroom sausage stuffing with brown gravy, mashed potatoes, yams, pumpkin pie — you get the picture. On [...]

This past Friday night, I should mention, had a fascinating Charlie Rose interview of Judge Richard Posner of the 7th Circuit and Law and Economics fame. Such a great interview! The new “Nightline” is coming… Saw “Rent” yesterday. I thought it was a pretty good musical movie. The fact that it had the original cast [...]

B- and I headed out for a whole day of R&R. She found this place within the North Coast and Guanyinshan National Park area. We visited my favorite Yonghe Dou Jiang (永和豆漿) for some traditional Chinese breakfast stuff like soybean milk (dou jiang 豆漿), breaded stick etc. Then headed out to Danshui (淡水), the last [...]

hey FC, wanted to mention I like what you’ve done with the little tweaks here and there. Arrived back in Taipei yesterday. My traveling seems to be always rush rush these days. I forgot my laptop battery pack at my friend’s home in Beijing. The trip out to Beijing airport early morning was pretty busy [...]

The passing of Pat Morita, a.k.a. Mr. Miyagi of “Karate Kid” and Arnold of “Happy Days.” Fascinating obituary by Associated Press, noting: For years, Morita played small and sometimes demeaning roles in such films as “Thoroughly Modern Millie” and TV series such as “The Odd Couple” and “Green Acres.” His first breakthrough came with “Happy [...]

Another beautiful day in Beijing… as I near the end of my visit, the weather gets warmer and my comfort level with the city gets higher and higher. Read in the NYT about the China development – economic and social – and have faced the reality. Yes, the driving here is nuts. The amount of [...]

Law.com still won’t take a break this holiday (good for them) – posting this article on Justice O’Connor’s speech on judicial independence, and on the ABA and studies on appellate judges. Today’s NY Times editorial – great thoughts: We often find it hard to be as thankful as we should be these days. For so [...]

Hilon IT Mall…. And I thought Malaysia’s Sungei Wang/Plaza Loh Yat/BB Plaza was good at it but Hah! Hilon the original in Beijing. 10 floors of just tech goods, from laptops, pc parts, PCs, office equipment, mp3 players, Apple, Ipods, digital cameras, you name it. The guys are aggressive pitching their wares. Have to be [...]
