Of the following, Peter Parker seems to be most guilty of overusing hashtags. 😛 I’d love to see more, Comediva! Hoping a new batch is in works for the future… Via Geeks Are Sexy. You may also like: 3 Things I Found on the Internet Today Browser Girls Because Sharing is Caring [Memos from Nick […]
Goofing Around with Cymera [Plasticizing Myself]
Over the weekend, my friend Carol posted “before” and “after” photos of herself using the smartphone photo app Cymera. Unlike most western photo editing apps, this Asian app (I’m pretty sure it originated in Korea, since its homepage is hosted by Cyworld) allows you to make numerous beauty edits, many of which are obviously catered for […]
Mishmash
I wanted to pop in to give you a weekend update! First up is Aerin’s developmental delays. Many people have been asking about her (a big thank you for your concern!), and the reason why I haven’t written an update is because there hasn’t been much progress. The state of NJ organizes its early intervention […]
Casting Disney’s Animated Characters
A few days ago, GeekTyrant shared a list of actors and actresses that should play the live-action versions of Disney’s classic animated characters. The fantasy casting, originally created by Super Super Kawaii, includes many big names like Brad Pitt and Scarlett Johansson, and the vast majority of the thousands who have seen the list seem to […]
Childhood Disappointment
If you grew up in Korea, or in a Korean household, you may be familiar with a children’s show called 뽀뽀뽀 (Popopo). According to its Korean Wikipedia page, it first aired on May 25, 1981 and has been in syndication since. The show was probably most popular in the 1980s; I remember setting aside time every day […]
The Pixar Theory
Internet nerd John Negroni has blown my mind. While the idea that all Pixar movies exist within the same universe isn’t entirely new, he has taken it a step further and postulated The Pixar Theory: a detailed proposition that all Pixar characters are part of the same universe, backed up by a believable timeline that […]
Weekend Poll
According to Google Analytics, about 1/3 of the visitors to this site are on a mobile phone, while around 10% of my total traffic stem from tablets. And I imagine that these numbers will continue to get higher with the advancement of technology, decrease in prices, and wider adaptation of mobile devices. When I first set […]
Did the Korean Culture Contribute to Flight 214’s Crash? A Commendable Response
Have you guys read Malcom Gladwell’s Outliers? In it is a chapter titled “The Ethnic Theory of Plane Crashes” which explains how the Korean culture — more specifically, its emphasis on hierarchical structure — has made them more prone to plane crashes. As I’m sure all of you already know, last week, Asiana Airlines Flight 214 […]
The Original “Lilo & Stitch”
Marc Hendry, a Scottish animator, recently uploaded the entirety of a booklet Chris Sanders sent to some Disney execs in 1998 — before development of the movie Lilo & Stitch went into full effect. It’s a long read, but a must-read for fans of the 2002 Disney film. I personally can’t wait until my girls are […]

Step 1: Go to Vogue UK. Step 2: Enter the Konami code. (up up, down down, left, right, left, right, b, a, enter) Step 3: Watch the awesomeness unfold! I’m pretty sure that the higher-ups at Vogue had no idea such an easter egg existed, considering the silly geekiness of the surprise. Which of these fabulous […]
