This space is for link-dumping. Yes, I read a lot. You will find me obsessed with certain topics - namely, China, the Middle East, tea, robots, and magazines.

I'm kind of irked by all my favorite indie-ish type magazines "branding" themselves - ReadyMade has their own brand of paint, Giant Robot opened a bunch of toy stores and now they have a restaurant on Sawtelle! Dwell produced a shoe and a television show. Why can't they just let these magazines be magazines?!
