Why am I posting about this? Because it’s my kind of music and about my kind of exercise. I’ve posted the original trailer and documentary before it’s release in China at the end of last year. This U.S. version of The Grandmaster Trailer features “Rivers of Blood†by Wu-Tang Clan. The movie opens in the…

I’ve had this app on my phone since it first came out and I’ve used it a handful of times. Disney museum anyone? I would never go otherwise, because the admission price is so high for what it is. But I guess that’s Disney. https://plus.google.com/+FieldTripApp/posts/LWPVEZofzsj For a limited time you can walk into any of…

I’ve had a kindle for quite a while now. I read a lot when I first got it, but then the reading the slowed down. That is, until I loaned the kindle to some friends. Then I realized how I read much more on a kindle. I rarely buy books now, mostly because I have…

Directed by Wong Kar Wai, starring Tony Leung, Zhang Ziyi, and Cung Le. Here’s the trailer and also an extremely interesting mini-documentary “The Road to The Grandmaster”…

For the last couple of months, I haven’t been able to stop telling people to read a book called Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption.

My music of choice has always been hip hop and r&b. That’s the stuff I grew up with but I can’t really stand any of the junk on the radio these days. I really do appreciate artists whose work focuses on topics that matter. Check out Bono and K’naan’s interview on CNN: And I never…

Does this make up for not being able to go to China this year? First time in a long time that…

Cinemetropolis by Blue Scholars Remember when I posted a video by these guys? I wanted to title this post “what I’m listening to” but I should just write “what I want to listen to.” Because I’m still unemployed, I’ll have to listen online for now. But all you working people can get their new album…
