Recollections from Korea

Saturday, July 16th, 2005

So I’m back in the USA - waiting to read about the A-Lister plane ride, this week’s news and in general - get ready for a heavy upcoming set of events.
But I wanted to share some insights into Korean Cyber Culture - as I’m working on a project with Cyworld - to bring that culture [...]

Cool, exclusive A-lister event in progress

Saturday, July 16th, 2005

Joi has confirmed that he Skyped from the plane.
I only got one question - “when is it available - already - for Christ sakes?”

File this post as a ‘List of [...]

The inmates have taken over the asylum

Thursday, July 14th, 2005

Wednesday, July 13th, 2005

Though I prefer to have “micro-content dinners” = my hosts here want to have a ‘bloggers’ dinner so I will oblige. So this Friday night (tomorrow) I’d like to invite bloggers from the Seoul area to come on out and party! (or at least grill some meat.)
