For the past three days (Monday through Wednesday), I’ve been reporting for my first jury duty at the Superior Court of Santa Clara. Well, it was just for jury selection for a civil case regarding a disability insurance claim dispute, but it was quite an interesting and, I must say, educational experience. The jury selection [...]
This series, which I believe started with the 1999 release, has been quite interesting. This is a collection album of popular Korean songs re-interpreted by the current generation of indie bands.

[Well, I decided to expand the "scope" or the categories of this page. I listen to music (mostly gayo) a lot, so this is also my "world," I guess.] These have been in there for a while now, but these are what I listen to in my car if I am not listening to an [...]
