Look! so cute…..Q. It’s a QQme, only me! http://autonews.gasgoo.com/auto-news/1011066/Chery-Auto-to-launch-QQme-minicar-tonight.html Watch out Mini and Beetles, your competitor is coming, in pink! And it costs only $6000. Just don’t let me be seating on the driver’s seat. I don’t want to be a male driver of a pink mini car. No offense. It’s like answering a call…

The Economist runs a piece about domestic consumption in Asia. The Asian countries  happen to save more than shop,  while they are supposed to shop more than save to keep the (global economy) engine humming. And the (car) engines in China are humming all right, at the rate of 47% growth in automobile sales (traffic…

“we will bring salvation back”… I have learned a hard lesson: some songs are best to leave to the original recording (Desperado, If you leave me now, and I’ll be there ). Don’t think because they are nice to listen to, means that you can just pick them out for karaoke. Anyway, the King of…

“In restless dream I walk alone…” the 60’s famous Simon & Garfunkel lyrics still reverberates today. A generation which sought to heighten social awareness, and pushed for change away from  “a neon god they made”..

Below is what I wrote back in June 2009. 3.5 years have gone by rather quickly since the depth of the Recession. _____ One thing for sure. By the time we look back at the 2000-2010 period, we will already be well into our 4-G smart phones, Web 3.0 or 4.0 using Android-like in the…

By whatever means, they express themselves much better than adults. Kids. Mine also. Maily, age 6, came through with her “art work” for Father’s Day. Aimy, age 17, chose to text. Before I can say “express”, they might as well email  or Skype each other. It’s quite a chore to get the young one to…

Who wore suspenders (not Larry King), and had his Stairs Master right in his office? Kirk Douglas’ son, of course (  his  Dad I remember always as one hell of a Spartan). The 80’s could be summed up in that one line: greed is good. Yuppies were in. And the wealth and health gospel was…

This Sunday, it’s hard not to reflect on our Dads, our DNA carriers. Mine had (he passed away a few years ago) a mixture of courage, melancholy and good look. It’s his first character that I chose to reflect on this year. Courage more than often demands confrontation. Many of us would rather avoid confronting…

Hillary is showing to have suffered a bad fall. I wish her well. Hope this doesn’t impede her schedule around the globe. We need her more than ever at this time. I also wish the media would exercise journalistic restraints  by not showing her in cast (what happen to close-ups?) Nixon was shown holding up…
