APA’s in the news: I don’t envy the position that US Energy Secretary, Steven Chu, is in; he has a steep learning curve on the oil leak disaster, even if it’s pretty darn good that we do have a Nobel Laureate like him on the matter. Speaking of the oil leak disaster, would a Republican [...]

“Hawaii 5-0″ gets a Hawaiian blessing; hopefully, this means that it’ll be a decent show and gets some decent ratings. Of the “Facts of Life” cast, I’ve admired Kim Fields for having a prolonged career – that she went on to do “Living Single” by the 1990′s – that’s not a bad deal (I think [...]

A-Team and The Karate Kid!  Oh My God – it’s the return of the 1980′s, in a revised kind of way. I got to see The A-Team movie; nothing perfect, but if you liked the old tv series, this was a fun.   Plot made no sense; but what was there was an origins story of [...]

Kudos:  US District Ct., North District of California – the trial court of the federal system – finally has an Asian American federal judge (the first in its 160 year history, according to the NAPABA press release); Judge Lucy Koh has been confirmed.  She will be the only current Korean American federal judge in the [...]

World Science Festival in the city; some good stuff. So, along with wacky service problems on weekends (shuttle bus, anyone?), MTA’s going to be issuing a new map (probably to reflect the end of some subway lines and other things). It’s supposed to look sleeker.  Hmm.  We’ll see how good it’ll be. But, it’s a [...]

Well, Memorial Day came and went. FC, my sister, and I checked out the Vilcek Foundation‘s exhibit of “Lost” props and photos.  Mr. Cluck!  Dharma van!  Dharma beer! My sister and I then checked out Asia Society’s museum (exhibits on “Pilgrimage and Buddhist Art” and “Inspired by India: Works by NYC Students“) and the Metropolitan [...]

Sorry to have fallen behind; life and other things occurred. Like… Arizona passing odd laws: like their anti-illegal immigration law (still not sure how the law enforcement goes about stopping to identify who’s illegal without causing a whole host of other problems and not to mention where Arizona’s going to get the money to enforce [...]

Hooray: Judge Denny Chin has been finally confirmed for the 2nd Circuit!  (and in an article on the Chin news, it’s also reported that Loretta Lynch was also confirmed as US Attorney for Eastern District of NY (for a 2nd time)). NAPABA has a press release on the news; wow, Chin’s the first APA appellate [...]

Beginning of the month, on 4/2/10: I saw a roving “Hamlet” at the World Financial Center (going on from 4/1/10 to 4/18/10)  – great stuff!  Presented by the New York Classical Theatre. (for anyone interested, Columbia University’s own King’s Crown Shakespeare Troupe is going to do a roving “Measure for Measure” on campus, April 29-May [...]

May the best team win in Super Bowl 44 in Miami.  I’m rooting for Indianapolis, but New Orleans has the feel-good story, what with their own team history and their city’s history.  This Angry Asian Man blog post has some links to great articles about Scott Fujita, who’s a player on the New Orleans Saints; [...]
