Asians and Asian Americans and the Super Bowl, from Angry Asian Man. Yep, that was Aaron Takahashi in the Living large commercial (he was already the guy who did not resist the ketchup for his McDonald Angus burger). (see here for a previous mention on Takahashi and his Angus burger here at triscribe). And, yes, [...]

I posted my Year in Reading of 2011 highlights over at tumblr.  Feel free to check it out.  May reading in 2012 be fruitful, entertaining, enriching, and enlightening!

Some links. Don’t overeat, if you can. Be grateful for what we have. Keep hope for what we don’t have. Be well. Visual history of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade over at Time.com. Mark Bittman at the NY Times had some cool links for Thanksgiving Eve (although we can still chew them today). Time Out [...]

On this Veterans’ Day: A salute and thank you to past, present, and future Armed Services members. Take a moment to think about them and how we can all do better for/with them. Oh, and take a look at the video that FC posted from last year’s Veterans’ Day. JP Morgan Chase underwrote the Veterans’ [...]

Football [...]

Oh, and a little YouTube search pulled up the Gumby theme song (remastered!): Last but not least: from [...]

The passing of Derrick Bell, a pioneer of American legal academia.  See also: the obit on Bell from NPR. From Newsweek/Daily Beast: A fascinating look at Anita Hill since her testifying at confirmation hearings for US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

The passing of Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple. I don’t have an iPhone or other Apple products, but Steve Jobs – he was an original (Pixar! technological revolution! not perfect guy, but he changed society!). Via the Slatest over at Slate: “From his 2005 commencement speech at Stanford: ‘Remembering that you are going to [...]
