In September, I delved into the heart of Lake Tahoe’s Desolation Wilderness for six days of solo backpacking admidst granitic peaks and rockbound lakes. I participated in a very tangible dance of physical exclusion from civilization. Days and nights would pass without me seeing more than one or two people,…

Lately, Vienna Teng has been making the rounds in music stores in the Bay Area like Tower Records and Borders Books & Music to promote her album Waking Hour. This afternoon, I went to the Tower Records in Fremont to hear her sing with my cousin Cynthia. After several hours…

I haven’t slept for over 40 hours. I’ve been coding non-stop for nearly two straight days on a program for my Newton. A Newton, you say? Isn’t that dead and obsolete technology?!? Well, take a look at some of the software packages that have come to the Newton since its…

Following Vienna’s performance at the Tower Records in Fremont, I headed to Straits Cafe in Palo Alto to attend Salim’s birthday party. Last year, we went to a similar restaurant, P.F. Changs in Sunnyvale, but my opinion on the Asian Fusion culinary concept remains the same. Why? The presentation of…

I walked alongside a blue and gold clad crowd on Shattuck and Telegraph. They did not suspect that cardinal red burned beneath my green fleece jacket. The buses rolled on through, depositing foot soldiers from across the Bay right into the bear’s den. Hibernation was over. The Big Game festivites…

Snowflakes dance slowly up and down my face, hair rustling in the wintry wind like frost covered wheat stalks. Eyes closed, ears open, the melody reveals a white Paris in 1996. Dreams and aspirations lie unwritten on the freshly fallen snow. St. Sulpice. Les Invalides. Alive, but afraid to act,…

Eric and I spent the afternoon editing our footage from Vienna’s performance at the San Francisco Public Library earlier this month. With Jim’s massaged audio tracks, we sliced, rippled, and edited our way through 6 of Vienna’s 14 songs from the performance. Learning the nuances of Final Cut Pro has…
