On the Shanghai World Expo.
Since I’ve been spending so much time thinking about China recently, I have been paying a lot of attention to the upcoming Shanghai World Expo. I just wanted to take a moment to educate my readers on something which I didn’t know basically anything about until just the past couple of weeks, and that is the World Expo. Apparently it happens every two or three years, in a different city. The purpose for the event […]
Greg’s Blog: Das Racist – Shut Up, Dude
Das Racist first popped up on my radar with their infectious hit “Combination Pizza Hut Taco Bell,” a full song dedicated to, you guessed it, combination Pizza Hut Taco Bells. Of course, I didn’t think of them as very cerebral until reading their meticulous take down of New Yorker… Nice! My buddy J-La produced the famous Wallpaper remix for Combination Pizza Hut Taco Bell. They’re the Yin to Vampire Weekend’s Yang. Refreshingly raunchy, irreverent, but […]

John Doerr and some of the KCPB guys have some good thoughts in a Techcrunch guest post. If Bill Joy says lower power is the key to performance, then lower power is the key to performance. Before hearing what Steve Jobs actually thought the confluence was for his company, I would always have called it the intersection of Hardware and Software. The fact that they are revolutionizing design, software, and hardware all in one with […]

JFP applications open, hiring underway!
Applications are open for the Jiao Fellows Program, starting this summer. Check it out at www.jiaofellows.org! We want recent grads who have a sense for the changing global landscape to go out to Shandong Province, in the “real China”, and get engaged with Chinese citizens in a way that is productive for both parties. This is meant to be more than a simple teaching job, where mercernary “backpack teachers” get mediocre and ineffective curricula, and […]
