interview on asian american blog ”dumpling magazine”
I love the headline for this interview I did with Dumpling Magazine. Here’s hoping it comes true. In other news, I’m wearing the same grey sweatshirt today.

this weekend book trip to paris & annecy
I love this charming video. It plays up every Parisian stereotype, but tastefully, and, besides, it’s a fairytale that many – self included – are eager to believe. With all the bad things that happen every day around the world, why not believe in something that’s as lovely and romantic as the idea of getting lost and finding yourself?
I choose to work from home because I don’t like shoes or ironing. But I do like banana cream pie and children’s stories.

We’re kind of like the Brady bunch, except that there are twenty of us. And we’re still growing! Know an amazing designer or engineer (or someone who does both)? Let them know we’re hiring.

this sunday badass block party
Badass Brooklyn Animal Rescue, the awesome nonprofit organization that rescued Jack, is throwing a block party this Sunday to raise money so they can rescue more dogs from the South!
Come for food, drinks, music, a doggy kissing booth… and to meet the adorable, sweet dogs that are up for adoption.
When Sunday, May 5th, 11am–7pm
Where President Street between 3rd and Nevins Street in Park Slope, Brooklyn.
Entry is free, but you can buy drink tickets and Badass schwag in advance here.
Follow The Daily Badass on Tumblr, and see you Sunday!
Sometimes this happens.
But what happens more often is Jack trying to see if Mittens’ head fits in his mouth.
practicing with paper
I actually really enjoy drawing and making squiggles, but you’d never guess it because I haven’t done much doodling since college. And even then it was just in the margins of my notebooks.
Well, you’re only 29-years-old. Never too late to pick up coloring again.
fiftythree one of “10 nyc startups to watch”
Congrats to everyone at FiftyThree today – we made Time Inc.’s list of 10 NYC Startups To Watch! I’m also proud to say this is the second time I have been part of a team that made the list. Two years ago, Foodspotting was featured among the ten inaugural honorees (I went to a cocktail party. There was a photobooth.) so now I can talk about my “track record.”
via fiftythreenyc:
Today, Time Inc. unveiled its third annual list of 10 NYC Startups to Watchfor 2013. We’re honored to see FiftyThree featured alongside peers for whom we have deep respect in the NYC startup community.FiftyThree has grown by leaps and bounds since launching our first product Paper in March 2012. Our team continues to grow, too. Every day we’re surrounded by and collaborate with people we admire: Inventors, painters, musicians, filmmakers, marathoners, comedians, Canadians and equally impressive teammates based in Portland and Seattle.
Still, we have a ways to go. We like to say “Paper is where ideas begin…” And in the truest sense of the word, this adventure is only beginning. People are their best when they create, and we’re excited to play a part in enabling creativity. Join us.
