Actually, yes, I'm the IT guy

A classic unintentionally hilarious article entitled "7 Things NEVER to Say to Asian-American Executives."

Some nuggets:

"You must be the IT person."

"You're not Asian, you're from India."

I guess I shouldn't find this so hilarious. I'm also lucky that I work from home, I suppose.

The Fortune Cookie Chronicles

No snarky, self-consciously ironic, NSFW post here. Jennifer 8 Lee just wrote a book called, "The Fortune Cookie Chronicles." Haven't read it so I can't hype it but I was pleasantly surprised to see her set the record straight with one fact regarding my Pop, Yongsik Lee. Yes, this is how I went to college. My Dad invented the first fully-automated fortune cookie machine and I witnessed first hand the #1 requirement in starting a business: sweat.

I spent one year writing fortunes and in true outsourcing (ie, laziness) fashion, I hired a Harvard JD/PhD in Philosophy to write the fortunes for me. I paid $.50 per accepted fortune. A true CPI model. A man before my time. I never actually calculated the lifetime value of a fortune so maybe I wasn't really before my time...

Congrats, Jennifer, and look forward to reading your first work!

Rickey Henderson Classic

Among the many terrific Rickey Henderson jokes is the one where Bobby Valentine was reading the newspaper in the dugout, and Rickey Henderson asked him, ‘what paper do you have there?’ and Valentine goes, ‘Wall Street Journal’ and Henderson goes, ‘pass me the sports section.’
