Some recent pictures of things I've come across: Tencent, a huge Chinese portal, was at GDC a few weeks ago. They
apparently have a cowboy penguin mascot. Who knew? In NYC, the cool new spot is the High Line, a derelict train line
running above Chelsea repurposed into a linear park. It's actually
pretty great - wonderful views, a good walk, and some great common
space design. Last night, the undergrad Japanese associations at UCSD threw their
annual festival. For me, it was familiar territory and a very fun
visit back to my own undergrad days. The munchkin doing the ring toss
is the daughter of one of our Japanese government representatives (who
got rounds of applause from the assmbled undergrads watching the
ensuing cuteness of successfully tossing a ring) and the taiko
drumming group put on a great show with a little bit of American
showmanship and cute smiles. That, combined with $3 Japanese beer,
made for an outstanding night.
