  • An Imperfect Musical at the Perfect Time ⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎ June 11, 2021
    When “In the Heights” hit Broadway in March of 2008, the world seemed to be changing.

    Oceania includes Australia, Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, New Zealand, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu. Unfortunately, my list is dominated by New Zealand which happens to be where my sister lives.

  • 5 Books for AAPI Heritage Month May 23, 2021
    When I was younger I did a lot of reading, including whole novels during my more boring high school classes, but I didn’t read much Asian and Asian American literature until I reached college. While it is impossible to pick five novels that would encompass all of the rich literature out there as part of […]

  • 5 Docs for AAPI Heritage Month May 23, 2021
    Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have been washed out of history. We’ve been in the Americas a long time, but we’ve also seen waves of hatred and we’re now swimming against another tide of Asian animosity. The Chinese Exclusion Act You really can’t understand US history unless you know about the Chinese Exclusion Act. This […]

  • 5 Films for AAPI Month May 23, 2021

These films show how Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are part of popular culture, not only in the US, but internationally as well. Enter the Dragon Born in San Francisco, Bruce Lee (李振藩) was named one of the 100 most important people of […]

  • Ms. Geek Speaks: DMCA and How Can We Control Trolls? May 1, 2021
    On my blog, I don’t automatically publish comments, even those that are complimenting my writing. I now think the best practice is not to publish comments that come from anonymous accounts, particularly WordPress accounts that seem like nothing more than placeholders or a gateway to comment on other WordPress accounts. When I first received a […]

    The Noise Within production of Lisa Peterson and Denis O’Hare modern take on Homer’s “The Iliad” (based on the translation by Robert Fagles) is a one-person show with a choice.

  • Ms. Geek Speaks: Trolls, Cyberstalkers and the Race Card April 12, 2021
    On inauguration day, 20 January 2021, Yelp let me know that they had taken down a review by a troll who seems to be part of a loose trolling tag team or a troll tribe (See below). That’s a minor victory and she wasn’t targeting me. She was targeting a business and not one she […]
