A woman asked me 15 years ago, "Why are you so interested in the Vietnamese community?" I didn't have an answer then. I saw this image today by artist Boone Nguyen (Philadelphia). I can now answer her: "curious to know / how beautiful lotus grow / where bomb shells once blow"

Found an old Google Drive folder with website files from 1997. Fixed the HTML and posted it online as part of internet archaeology work. https://t.co/yn0QN7EbZu

@_chenglou @jontsai I wonder if anyone still believes in hyphenation for line breaks or am I simply nostalgic for newspaper columns.

In October, no one stepped up to lead Lunar New Year, so I started asking for help from everyone. And 2 months later we put together this menu of a lot of new attractions. I'm just so grateful for all the community support. My heart is so full. 😭❤️

Phong Le’s family fled Vietnam after their wealth was confiscated and their currency reset. This is why property rights matter. This is why Bitcoin matters.

I stumbled across this video I compiled back in 2012 when I dreamt of organizing a #MidAutumnFestival in #SanJose and thought about its meaning as a harvest festival, though in modern times as a cultivation of the fruits of our labor. https://t.co/JaHv78ikgb

@marknvy Flattering that they like your style. Still not cool they use your image without permission. The contact page shows an address of Wan Chai Road in Hong Kong.

@marknvy For a minute there I couldn’t figure out what color it was. Reminded me of The Dress.

I finally got my CD collection back which I lent to my friend Lily back in... I think 2007. Half of the CDs were indie bands, musicians, and poets, and quite a handful were Asian/Vietnamese Americans.

Mockup for the @BawsHuman app in exploring a more game-oriented look and feel for #fitness, in this case the user profiles. Plenty of iterations to do, but I like the idea of pouring your energy into building yourself as the gaming character.
