Good Grief!
Thanks to Boing-Boing, I know that:
Jimi Hendrix made a Sex Tape. And now someone else is releasing it.
Psychopaths are great correspondents. (Among others.)
Canadian copyright is about to go nuts. (Hardly a surprise: the USA is exported n even-more-draconian form of copyright law to Korea, and Canada’s much more of a USA-wannabe.)
As someone commented — who […]
Come to Bucheon…
… if you want to meet the most disgusting brutes you’ve ever encountered. I’ve been developing a dislike for this town for a long time, but the events of this evening take the cake.
I now feel no reluctance in describing Bucheon — or at least Yeokgok neighborhood — as the toilet of Seoul. It is […]
Chinese Violence in the Streets of Seoul

UPDATE (5 May 2008): It’s over a million signatures now.

There’s an online petition at Daum calling for the impeachment of President Lee, basically just over dumb policies and scandalous news […]
Rainbows End, by Vernor Vinge
Whenever people talk about The Singularity, one reaction I always feel in my gut is, “Okay, describe it.” Of course, by its very definition, the Singularity is [relatively] indescribable, since it’s what is as incomprehensible to our minds as our world is to the mind of a goldfish. In this way, The Singularity is, I […]
Attention K-Pulp Fans: Bow Down To A New Master
Masterly Master Lee’s site is the Korea-blog you need to check out. I just ran across it the other night, in search of information about the “Two Sisters” video (the remake of “Venus”) a few posts back. Chock full of forgotten (and not-so-forgotten) Korean pulp goodness, and a wealth of reviews and information for anyone […]

The Clarion West Write-a-Thon is On!
The Clarion West Writer's Workshop has been responsible for starting many people on the road to publication and careers in writing. It has been an unstinting supporter of creativity and of the next generation of writers for decades.
