OMG.

Impressive, more so if they are really 13 and 14 years old as I have read...

Amazing kid.  Watch through to the end and Ellen gives him a great surprise.

I think the only mainstream movie Hollywood has produced with Asian leads is the "Harold and Kumar" series, which is fun on it's own merit but is not an accurate representation of Asians in America.

Skip this movie, it's awful.

Not with a whisper...

I had a recent debate over whether a border should be 3, 4 or 5 pixels wide, and was asked to prove my case. I can't operate in an environment like that. I've grown tired of debating such miniscule design decisions. There are more exciting design problems in this world to tackle.

Ricky Gervais and Elmo on Sesame Street.

I just about died laughing.

I really enjoyed Benjamin's newest presentation on Asian Internet businesses in comparison to Western ones.

Presentation at eComm in San Francisco in March 2009 about Asian mobile ecosystem, especially Japan, and comparisons with Apple's iPhone and Facebook. Some extra like mobile SNS, mobile novels and various other considerations of interest.

Softbank's comic commercials to promote their mobile service are now promoting the iPhone in Japan with Aya Ueto and Dante Carver and the rest of the White Family clan.

You have to understand Japanese to get all the jokes. Suffice it to say that Steve Jobs doesn't use a white Shiba-inu to promote the iPhone anywhere else in the world.
