New York Dreamer

My Crazy Adventures in the City

Steam Punk New Yorkers

What is Steam Punk? Hmmm… If I dare to summarize in one phrase, it would be “A Fantasy Trip to the Futuristic Past!” or “Retro to the Future!” Steam Punk used to be underground culture here in New York. It has become more embraced by a large population. But still… There are many New Yorkers [...]

The Scandinavia Wave

There is something about Scandinavia. I see serious creative flows in many different areas, music, film, fashion, new media… It feels like European (because it is), but edgier and a bit darker. Cool, edgy, innovative, creative, sentimental, high-quality, dark, punk and funky… These are the descriptive words I can come up with when I think [...]

What R U Listening? – Trentemoller: Evil Dub / Moan (LIVE)

COOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Music of Precision and Perfection!!! Did u notice? The studio camera peeking through the audience’ camera. Blended lines of UGC and professional shots. It’s sooo late 2000s. Reminds me of my old days, going to independent bands’ performances, hopping over underground cubs here in NYC. Key Word here: SCANDINAVIA!

Love Thyself Homecooking

There are many good restaurants in the City. Sometimes too many to choose from. Many of these attractions are enticing and luring me to their decorated and aromatic dens on a daily basis while walking by, like the Sirens from Greek Mythology. Despite these restaurants’ attractive group sing-alongs, I always feel like nothing is more [...]

The First Online Social Networking

His name is Jerry. He is a super lawyer, also my advisor, my mentor and my friend. One day at his firm’s networking event, he told me a very interesting story about the first social networking services online. Once upon a time in 1980s, when the internet barely started… There was a client for Jerry’s [...]

Avatar!

Avatar! Nope. It’s not James Cameron’s movie “Avatar.” It’s just me. Disappointed? It looks a bit scary, but I kinda like the purple hair and purple eyebrows. I wish I could have my own avatar who can talk and act and do some work for me… Too much to do. But it’s fun to daydream [...]

What’s Up with the Music Business?

Several days ago. I got an email from my friend, Ray Beckerman, a well-known attorney fighting against the music industry, representing people being chased by RIAA.. The email said: “Ha ha ha ha ha. RIAA paid its lawyers more than $16,000,000 in 2008 to recover only $391,000!!!” (Further Details: Recording Industry vs. The People – [...]
