  • what's the problem with craigslist these days?

    Saturday, Aug 7, 2010 7:33AM / Members only

    I am not sure if most people here are familiar with craigslist.org, for those living in the Bay Area, it is probably a household name, but for the rest, it is probably not as popular (even though it has a subpage for every major city in the world...)

    Anyway, I just feel that craigslist is getting less and less useful than before. I remember using craigslist to locate some of my film crew members before, and also succeeded in finding a part-time job from their listings, but somehow nowadays this site just looks more and more like a playground for scam artists..

    Not to mention it is harder and harder to find a good job listing there (well maybe it is partly related to the bad economy), most of the film crew gigs are just a bunch of amateurs looking for free labors to exploit. And if you post a gig, the response you got are mostly from people who don't qualify a bit of what you look for, or people who don't even know why they are replying.

    And recently, I have been posting a few furniture for sale there, and most of the responses I got are from people who write like bots, with strange email that looks totally like they're going to cheat you, and people who demand asking your name/phone/address and paying certified check right away (which craigslist's policy warn people not to do) for items they don't even care to take a look first.

    And certainly, the friend finding pages on their site is a mess, there are numerous stories on the news everyday about girls responding to a friend post on craigslist end up getting robbed or even raped...

    Anyway, I am not really against craigslist, and I do use it occasionally, but the fact is the this site is losing its credibility these years... just wonder if anyone has any interesting craigslist stories to share?

    I'm planning to sell some more stuff online, I wonder if anyone has any nice experience using craigslist to sell?

  • Trip tp Caribbean Sea

    Thursday, Jun 24, 2010 2:19AM / Members only

    Went on a trip to Caribbean Sea, check the photo album if you're interested. The Mayan ruins is definitely the place that impressed most. I have always been a fan of the ancient civilization, be it Maya, Inca or others early civilization, so it was really great being there, touching the walls and seeing it with my own eyes.. nice experience!



    Right now i'm working on something tv related, and also busy watching world cup, good to see that all of the Asian teams are playing well.. i mean, although north korea flunked the second game, their first one was still very nice and exciting.. also good to see south korea advancing to 2nd round... and not to mention the last minute goal that brings team usa to the top of the group!!

  • Some websites to raise fund for projects

    Wednesday, Jun 2, 2010 1:03PM / Members only

    Not sure if anyone heard of this website before: http://www.kickstarter.com/

    Someone forwarded this site to me, and It looks like a promising way to raise fund for creative projects, and also kinda reminds me of another website www.chipin.com. Certainly, it is always not easy to raise money for something usually considered as non productive or without money making potential, but it's not bad to give it a try. We artist always struggle to find money to achieve our creative goal, so every single option will be helpful!

    Has anyone on AnD used these sites and successfully raised any fund before?

  • 一條連戲的鹹魚...

    Tuesday, Apr 27, 2010 5:52AM / Members only

    很久沒寫blog﹐也很久沒寫中文﹐現在一次滿足兩個文字欲。

    近來有點忙﹐但也不是真的每天工作不停﹐只是很多東西或在進行中﹐或在變化中﹐什麼都不能說準﹐有很多事的主導權﹐也不一定在自己手裡。情況好像在馬路上開車﹐面前的道路被重霧遮蓋﹐看不清楚前方。唯一能做的就是一直往前走﹐一切聽天由命。

    創作的計劃﹐都在籌備階段﹐行進速度緩慢﹐對於我這樣心急的人﹐真的不易適應。在亞洲﹐很多人辦事以日﹐甚至是以時計﹐大家都爭分奪秒﹐但在美國﹐很多人工作的進度是以星期﹑月計﹐所以效率特慢...

    最近也備受腳傷困擾。事緣去年重拾捨棄多時的足球運動﹐容或熱身不足﹐數次扭傷腳的關節。雖然斷斷續續的也康復了﹐但每次休息一段時間再踢﹐舊傷又再回來﹐一直都不能"斷尾"。聽一些隊友說﹐在我們這種年紀﹐有些傷真的沒辦法完全治好﹐除非長時間(以年計算)不再去動﹐否則是沒有根治良方。事實上﹐早前也曾看過一些類似物理治療的醫師﹐但成效始終不大...

    想起這句歌詞"活著就是為活著連戲..."。現在的我﹐就如同下圖中此鹹魚...

    I know what you mean about craiglist. It's so easy for your own items to quickly get buried. I find it kinda tedious to have to go thru so many ads placed by commercial parties when I wanna only deal with private parties.

    Hey Kenji, yeah I tried the language thing... they say that if I don't understand Cantonese, they can put me in a case where english is the main language... I might have to get certified as mentally unstable to get out of this one...

    Thanks for your kind words, Kenji. Surely it wasn't easy getting FOG made in HK, but it's all worth it. Hope to see you in SF at the fest. Best, Kit

    Hi Kenji, thanks for your advice! Much appreciated! Is the film you mentioned, "Memories of Matsuko." shot recently? Will it be easy to find? Since I have moved myself from U.S. to China, it's not everywhere I can get my hands on any films I want. I do look forward to watching it. Thanx again for taking the time to view the video and for your comments.
    Take CAre and God bless!

    Thank you!...and you have a good day too yourself! I see you're in the film-making biz. CCTV4 did a mini-documentary on my mom and it got rave responses. Over the last decades we've got many offers...screenplays and proposals,etc... I invite you to take a look at my mom's story and if you would be interested in turning my mom's life story into a film or tv series, or anything else you have in mind. I'm just trying to find the right people to collaborate with. It is so difficult to find a group of people that clicks and have the same vision. Here's the link http://space.tv.cctv.com/video/VIDE1258268996242885
    Do go there asap, coz CCTV updates their sites often, and link changes at times. Let me know what you think. Any feedback will be welcomed. I hope you can understand Mandarin. If not, i'll try to write an English transcript for you. Looking forward to hear from you! God Bless! =D
