I voted on Primary Day; did you? There will be a runoff between John Liu and David Yassky in the NYC Comptroller race. John Liu could be the first Asian-American elected to citywide office. Disclaimer: I had Yassky as a prof back in law school. Further disclaimer: I’m not going to mention who I voted [...]

As I noted previously, in a vague way, there is an opening in the 2nd Circuit of the US Court of Appeals, and with Pres. Obama nominating Asian Americans for federal district court… well, at least we can hope around here in the NY area of what made happen for that next level: US Senator [...]

I wish summer didn’t have to end. Catching up on reading: Time Magazine on one man’s attempt to stop the tide of suicides in Japan, not a great trend in the middle of a recession. Hat tip to Angry Asian Man for some great links, namely: John Cho, in style, Angry Asian Man notes. Not [...]

I’m kind of amazed that there’s no huge billboard somewhere saying “Enlist in Starfleet,” in big bold letters and the accompanying Federation symbol, to get drooling and crazed Trekkies/Trekkers ready for the Star Trek movie on Friday. I mean, just listening to the commercials and trailers – wherein Captain Pike (Bruce Greenwood) tell young (and [...]

Saturday: worked a table at the CAPA Festival, held at the UN instead of Union Square because of construction. Attendence not quite as good as it usually is at Union Square, but the site is a lot better for the people there. First – actual trees that provide shade. Second, the Japan Society is across [...]

This past weekend, in between interleaving celebrations of P’s sister’s 30th birthday (she had 3 parties), we checked out the wedding banquet hall. We had the three set menus for the banquet to choose from, which turned out to be the ultimate in Chinese “special menus”. We had a hard time figuring out what they [...]

I don’t spend any amount of time in K-Town or Flushing, but I found this article really interesting. Or am I silly for thinking the Times may educate me on Korean-American culture in NYC? I had a hoot reading this article: NY Times’ Sarah Lyall on Patrick Stewart, as he’s about to do MacBeth in [...]

Saturday – 9/29/07 – went to Shea Stadium with my siblings. Was pretty dejected over the Mets’ Friday night performance, so didn’t want to go; they won, with John Maine with an one-hitter game; 13-0. However, left the stadium feeling that the job’s not done; pins and needles for Sunday’s game. Sunday – 9/30/07 – [...]

Asian American International Festival Taking a few days away from the office – much needed, frankly, considering the latest oh-great-what’s-else-is-next in the land of Dysfunction… Friday afternoon – spent at the Cloisters in Manhattan. Never been there before, so it was great. Too bad about the humidity, but it was worth it – the beauty [...]

OK, here it is – the video that we made last weekend for the 72 Hour Film Shootout – we only had 72 hours from start to finish to do everything, from writing the script, shooting the scenes, editing the film, and geting it onto miniDV tapes to submit it for judging (the funny thing [...]
