Kara, Walt & 300 of Their Best Friends

Maybe not 300.  Maybe not their best friends.  But the 6th Annual Gadgets Event hosted by the Churchill Club was pretty freakin’ awesome.  As part of their PR Agency, I got to attend and see some of the coolest gadgets out there.  Some are out.  Some aren’t.
Along with Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg,  Evan Williams, [...]

Enough About Politics

[Sorry, this post isn't about "food politics"; it's more about "food" and "politics."]
.
During dinner with a couple friend last night, my girl friend said, “I’m really surprised we didn’t talk about politics tonight.  I always thought you were really knowledgeable about it.” (or something like that…)
A few reactions instantaneously popped into my head:

Oh, that’s so [...]

Politics & The History of Marketing

PART I

My last post on the vice presidential debate highlighted the great marketing campaign of the GOP.  I say marketing because many of you pointed out via emails and ims that Sarah Palin, and to some extend John McCain, focuses on broad sweeping statements about some utopian United States without much in the way of [...]

Alcohol is My Friend

Perhaps that statement isn’t quite so true, but with all the activities during TechCrunch50, you wouldn’t really be able to tell the difference.
I have to admit I really need to start bringing my Canon Powershot (and beg for a Nikon SDR for Christmas - I’ve been really goood this year!).  The one above is taken [...]

Oh, I’ll manga you all right.

Last week, something really disturbing happened.  I was online reading my Tumblr dashboard, usually the first place I hear all relevant news, when I came across yet another avatar builder.  So I clicked and built it… didn’t think anything of it and went to bed.

By the very next day, like 4 of my coworkers’ Twitter [...]

Innovation is the New Black

Originally posted on Slice.

About two years out of college, I’ve started attending panels and discussions. There’s so much to be learned, and with marketing and communications moving at such a fast pace, I realized that my education has just begun. Surprisingly, I’m enjoying the quest.
Last night’s panel at Swissnex, a forum dedicated to connecting Swiss [...]

PR: Political Relations

Instead of going out on Saturday night, I opted to join a discuss group called the Club of Rome. It’s a forum that meets every once in a while (we haven’t set the pace yet), and everyone brings food, drinks and ideas.
The topic for this weekend was “Is it okay to intervene and disregard [...]

Jany’s Del.icio.us

http://delicious.com/JanyXu
I’ve finally created a del.icio.us page.
When I first found out about del.icio.us, I was checking out my friend’s profile way back in the early days (a whole 5 years ago). He and I had gotten really close at the end of high school, but since we lost touch in college (and I thought for [...]

iPhone and Piles of Moola

This is pre-coffee me, so please excuse the retardation. Somehow, I still manage to sound like a 14 year old despite the fact that my throat was dry and I was half-asleep.
.
Things I learned this morning:

Even the teeny AT&T store by my house in Oakland was packed this morning.
AT&T stores only carried about 100 [...]
