Happy Year of the Dragon…  May it be auspicious for all of us! In the NY Daily News: an article on the question of why NYC Chinatown still doesn’t have its own arch.   I posit that inertia, money, and lack of actual analysis (of where to put it and how to drive the tourists to [...]

Happy birthday, Alexander Hamilton, Wherever You Are! Lin-Manuel Miranda Performs at the White House Poetry Jam: (8 of (by whitehouse) I’m sharing this video, in honor of Alexander Hamilton’s birthday.  I remembered watching this on PBS awhile ago; this was so awesome… Lin-Manuel Miranda is ridiculously amazing for the extent of his creativity and his [...]

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!

National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) has come and gone.  As a follow up to a previous post on NaNoWriMo as I have been going through it: a recap!
