My Friday Five is somewhat of a mishmash of stuff I have recently seen around the interwebs, some of which I actually kept track of and others, I just remembered upon the writing of this post.

As some of you know, May is Asian Pacific Heritage Month. There has always been debate over the necessity or usefulness of these kinds of special months, but overall, I think it’s a great idea for folks to take some time to focus on different aspects of American culture and history. In the past I have posted suggested reading lists, movie [...]

Ever since I was a child, I have wanted to be Speed Racer: jumping over canyons, navigating dangerous terrain and yeah, having a chimpanzee in my entourage. And while I don’t QUITE have a chimpanzee in my life, my life often feels like an off-road race as I joyfully bounce around the terrain of faith, politics and life. Wouldn’t have it any [...]

Combining my spiritual discipline of photography and my long-time love of San Francisco, here is the next installment in my series “My San Francisco.” There is a little more info here, but suffice it to say that I am not trying to provide a comprehensive look into any gathering or neighborhood, but rather to provide [...]

This spring I am taking a personal blogging hiatus and have invited some folks to blog in my stead. It is my intention help share some new voices and perspectives with a larger audience and keep my blog active during my break.
