McDonald’s Goes Wireless Ordering in Shenzhen
Last Saturday I was in the ?? shopping area to buy some bootleg DVDs. It was actually the first time I’ve bought DVDs since I’ve lived in Shenzhen. Not only was it cheaper than in other places (it was 5RMB compared to 7RMB or 8RMB in the north), but there was really good selection as [...]
Blogspot is back up! Is the Chinese gov’t just Fucking with us.
Just a couple of days ago, I discovered that blogspot was not blocked anymore by the Chinese government (Xanga is still blocked). This means I can read more and write more without having to play around with the various proxies people have suggested. This latest 2-week shutdown has been talked about everyone in the China [...]

Although there might be some conflicts that come up from differing points of view, [...]
Business Ethics @ the Factory
It’s been 6 months since I started working at Toy State. Theres been highs, there’s been lows. However, today was the first time I felt disappointed in the ethics of how we conduct business.
