a somewhat real entry
It's been a hectic few weeks, and there are no signs of slowing down. Work has calmed down a bit, and I just finished my next eHub article, which I have to re-write a little bit. I wrote an extremely silly opening sentence to get me going, and I need to find something a wee bit more serious to replace it.
Meanwhile, Emily Chang has launched yet another site, called PicoCool. I have no idea how she manages all her projects, unless it's with a caffeine IV-drip permanently attached to her arm or something. So far I like it, as she puts it in her first post:
PicoCool is the first site to focus on the content being created by people on social networks and through peer media. It’s not about who’s popular or who has the most points, it’s about the things we create, the ideas we have, and the creative or daily minutiae that makes us human.
We cover underground trends, subcultures, art, human experiences, products, innovations, philosophies, digital living, the obscure and the tiny. Somewhere in the undiscovered and the mundane lives real brilliance. PicoCool is about uncovering these microscopic moments when things first begin.
Oh, and I finally found a Chinese restaurant that's worthy of eating at for dinner - Joy Luck in San Mateo. Clean, good service and good food? Yay! Too bad it's just a tad on the pricey side; otherwise we would totally go back every weekend. I posted a review on Yelp last night. You know what really did it for me? The geoduck (pronounced gooey-duck) sashimi. Geoducks are these giant clams that look um, really phallic. However, in fresh sashimi form, they taste pretty good. (Boiled into a soup? Yuck.) Also, fish in the seafood tanks were alive, which is a good sign when you're going out for seafood.
