Triscribe

In the category of “we here at triscribe, because we’re APA and we’re lawyers”: Following up on a previous post on Prof. Goodwin Liu: Governor Jerry Brown nominates Prof. Liu for the California Supreme Court, the highest court of California.  See the post from Angry Asian Man blog on the subject (he further links to [...]

Couldn’t make the 32nd AAPI Heritage Festival at Union Square this past Sunday because I foolishly re-injured my knee.  But, I expect to see pictures…! Hat tip to Angry Asian Man blog: the US Senate has confirmed Edward Chen, US magistrate judge, to be US federal district court judge for Northern District of California. As [...]

Supposedly, it’s spring. Thanks to the annual NCAA Men’s Basketball March Madness, my brackets are completely a mess. Pittsburgh’s out, as are much of the Big East. Me and my Big East sentiments. And, I didn’t pick Princeton, but I did kind of rooted for them (had to support the Ivy League); then again, who [...]

I’ve really had to take a break from the news this weekend. Just not good stuff. The news from Japan worsens arising from the earthquake and the resulting tsunami, aftershocks, and nuclear reactor crises. Then, locally, the tragic results of the horrifying casino bus crash at the Bronx/Westchester border. Granted, I have nothing personal at [...]

The devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Scary news, regarding the effects of these natural events toward Japan’s nuclear power plants. NY Times’ Nicholas Kristof observes his sympathy and admiration of Japan, under these circumstances. He had been the Tokyo bureau chief for the Times and so he has some experience about his perceptions of [...]

Gearing up for the big game tonight? If not: PBS has counter-programming with Masterpiece Theatre’s “Emma” (all three-parts). True, the Jets aren’t in, but it sounds like the Big Game (in Dallas this year) could be interesting with Packers v. Steelers.  Not sure about whether the commercials will be interesting though. That was pretty powerful [...]

Crazily enough: the Jets have beaten Indianapolis and New England and will be playing Pittsburgh next week.  Crazy! PBS posts the view of Brianna Lee, as her father, Edwin Lee, is sworn in as interim mayor of San Francisco, the first Asian-American in the position of mayor of SF.  Lee would be different than the [...]

Not that my hiatus was planned (really, it wasn’t!).  But, I’ll try to catch up a little with some commentary and links on things that might be a little old, but still good to check out. Some stuff to note, because around here at triscribe, we’re APA’s and we’re lawyers: The first Asian American woman [...]

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 [...]
