Austin in Hong Kong: Cold, Boat, Election, Grill, Cake, and Friends
http://austininthehk.blogspot.com/2008/11/cold-boat-election-grill-cake-and.html
Austin in Hong Kong. My incredible, amazing, exciting and very different six months in Hong Kong. Monday, November 10, 2008. Cold, Boat, Election, Grill, Cake, and Friends. It seems I am always starting off my posts with an apology about being so out of touch. Well, this is no exception. Sorry. Korean sushi, kim chi pancakes, burritos, and sandwiches. From left: Evan, birthday girl's sister, father, birthday girl Hyomi, mother, and boyfriend Carlos. Jai was the photographer for the day. It was a spectacu...

Austin in Hong Kong: Arrival, Airport, Impressions
http://austininthehk.blogspot.com/2009/01/well-its-been-another-long-while-and.html
Austin in Hong Kong. My incredible, amazing, exciting and very different six months in Hong Kong. Friday, January 23, 2009. Arrival, Airport, Impressions. Well, it's been another long while, and I've been completely out of touch, but I promise I'll share all the great stuff that I've done since arriving in Japan. Japan is also well known as the land of the small car. In America, most of the issues that people have with mercedez' SMART car revolve around not having enough space for people or gear....I arr...

Austin in Hong Kong: October 2008
http://austininthehk.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Austin in Hong Kong. My incredible, amazing, exciting and very different six months in Hong Kong. Thursday, October 30, 2008. This is the coolest "low tech" toy I've seen in a veeeery long time! Just look at the thing! Sunday, October 26, 2008. Associations, Patterns, and other interesting stuff. I don't purport to be the first to catch this similarity. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's what the architect had in mind. (Tsim Sha Tsui: Kowloon). The base of the Lippo Centre does a very good job of eliminatin...

Austin in Hong Kong: December 2008
http://austininthehk.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Austin in Hong Kong. My incredible, amazing, exciting and very different six months in Hong Kong. Wednesday, December 3, 2008. I just found a super amazing game that combines beautiful music, attractive visuals, and captivating interaction. Just use the "bubble" to direct the music toward the volume meter. As you deliver more of the notes to the vloume meter, a symphony begins to build, with bass, midtones, and higher tones appearing in steady crescendos. Play it here. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Austin in Hong Kong: New BMW Gina Concept
http://austininthehk.blogspot.com/2008/11/new-bmw-gina-concept.html
Austin in Hong Kong. My incredible, amazing, exciting and very different six months in Hong Kong. Monday, November 17, 2008. New BMW Gina Concept. This is a video about a new way of thinking from the guys at BMW. It has inspired me to pay more attention to alternative materials and techniques in construction. The styling is controversial, but I think the message is pretty valid. Finally, a new way of thinking. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Tai Po, N.T., Hong Kong. View my complete profile.

Austin in Hong Kong: Shinkansen, Hiroshima, Miyajima
http://austininthehk.blogspot.com/2009/01/shinkansen-hiroshima-miyajima.html
Austin in Hong Kong. My incredible, amazing, exciting and very different six months in Hong Kong. Saturday, January 24, 2009. Shinkansen, Hiroshima, Miyajima. First, a little translation. Hiroshima = "wide island" - or one of two cities that got A-Bombed in WWII. Miyajima = Shrine Island. Unfortunately, given the absurd speed of the Shinkansen, I often ended up with photos of.wall.wall.blur.wall.blur.etc. Unfortunately, I visited the peace memorial park (below) before. I entered the A-Bomb museum. So it ...

Austin in Hong Kong: September 2008
http://austininthehk.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Austin in Hong Kong. My incredible, amazing, exciting and very different six months in Hong Kong. Saturday, September 27, 2008. Out of touch - but still busy. I received an email through the grapevine from an old family friend who is on a trip to Tokyo. A paraphrase of my reply follows – sorry if some of the concepts or names are a little obscure…. What's the point of being on the other side of the world, if you operate in the same way you do at home? Tomorrow might turn out to be a good beach day, which...

Austin in Hong Kong: August 2008
http://austininthehk.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Austin in Hong Kong. My incredible, amazing, exciting and very different six months in Hong Kong. Sunday, August 31, 2008. I had a window seat, and was able to watch the hydrofoil ferries going back and forth at pretty incredible speeds. I read in a guidebook that I should get a look at the ruins of Sao Paolo. Saturday, August 30, 2008. Here is the stove, oven, and microwave (scratch those last two). It's a two-burner gas range. Here's the cute little fridge. Oh, and of course, there was an enormous blow...
