Race in America | 美國種族問題 | 美国种族问题

I am not trying to turn my blog into a political thing. You all know I'm pro-Obama anyway, but I finally had time to sit down and listen to this speech. It is brilliant because it underlies the true problem with America that no one had the balls nor the clout to speak about before. Obama handled it brilliantly speaking straight fr...Read more

Happy Birthday Dad! | 生日快樂，爸爸! |生日快乐，爸爸!

Today was my Dad's 79th birthday. He looks great for 79. I hope my skin is that smooth when I'm that age...if I even live that long.

He was actually born on the March 24th, 1929 of the lunar calender. When he immigrated to America and they asked him what his birthday was, he just gave the immigration guy his...Read more

Wild Turkeys! | 野生火雞! |野生火鸡!

For some reason there are wild turkeys living in the community that my parents live in. You often hear them gobbling super loud but are usually hidden in the bushes or somewhere out of sight. The other day while I was cleaning out the garage I spotted some. Too bad there is no zoom on my camera but you get the picture. They are big and...Read more

HIgh School | 回到高中母校| 回到高中母校

Gave a talk at my high school, Head Royce, last week. My old English and Japanese lit teacher Barry Barankin somehow found me through the SF Asian American Film Festival people and invited to me to talk about how I got where I am today. It was cool seeing all my teachers from way back when( I graduated class of '92) and to see they were still inspiring students and still looked pretty much the same....Read more

SF continued. | 舊金山 續. | 旧金山续.

Ok, so I meant to blog more on this trip but things were much busier than expected both in SF and LA. Now I'm back in the BAY catching up on some much needed sleep, rest and blogging! I must say the SF Asian American Film Festival was very good and exciting this year! There were so many great films from so many from different places. I saw Wayne Wang's "A Thousad Years of Good Prayers...Read more

Gay Taleban? | 同性戀塔利班?| 同性恋塔利班?

A good friend of mine from highschool, Elaine Chin, was in New York and came across these photos found by photographer Mark Dworzak while he spent time in Afghanistan. The above photo is his own photo but go to the Magnum Photos site here to see...Read more

Home Sweet Home! | 家，甜蜜的家! |家，甜蜜的家!

Back home for the San Francisco Asian American Film Festival. Will be doing a Q&A for Blood Brothers as well as a special discussion panel entitled "Crossing Over". Any excuse to be back home makes me happy. Probably will head down to LA on this trip as well. I used to not like the Asian American films just because the subject matter quickly became very stereotypically boring. I mean i re...Read more

Stone Cold (warning!!Not for weak stomaches!) | 石頭般冰冷(警告!! 膽小者慎入!) |石头般冰冷(警告!!胆小者慎入!)

Do you know what a Lithopedion is? The definition is here. It's a stone baby! I was watching tv late the other night and there was a story on stone babies on. It totally blew my mind. This is seriously ...Read more
