Hung Truong: The Blog!

Let's see, how long has it been since I started a new blog?

I got back from SXSW 2010 a few days ago, and I thought I would write a post about what it was like to moderate a panel while it's fresh in my mind.

I have lots of material to post from this year's SXSW 2010 Interactive Festival.

Recently I've become really interested in letterpress.

I recently picked up a copy of Cheap: The High Cost of Discount Culture.

I have been getting really into this band called “The Bird and The Bee.”

I was at the mall today just wasting my time (and looking at options for getting my eye prescription checked), and I stopped by the Apple Store.

As a first (or second, however you may define it) Asian American, I have often pondered about race, heritage and what it means to be an Asian Born in America.

According to Michael Pollan, food has been disappearing from supermarkets around the country.

Edit: Cool, looks like my blog got posted to from some hack blog called “PCWorld.”

Because you really ought to start your hipster baby off on the right track.

A book that I read recently, Connected, made reference to another book called The Victorian Internet.

I'm a pretty big fan of Harry Connick Jr.

There was recently a trailer released for the new A-Team movie coming out this year: While the movie looks like it might be good, I have a few concerns.

It looks like I'm continuing my long list of book reviews on my blog.

I grabbed the audio version of The Last Lecture onto my iPhone a while back for a long car trip, but in typical Hung Truong fashion I didn't take advantage of my over-preparedness.

I just finished reading this book with a really long title: Connected: The Surprising Power of Social Networks and How They Shape Our Lives.

Wait, did I really forget to mention that my SXSW Panel submission for Student Startups was accepted?

For some reason Chase “upgraded” my card to some random blah thing instead of my Freedom something something.

I had a really weird dream in-between snoozes this morning.

I brought home a bundle of joy yesterday.

I recently re-read Ender's Game.

I've sort of been slacking with my Wii Fit schedule, but I just got Wii Fit Plus to see if I could inject some freshness into the routine.

So I saw They Might Be Giants in concert last night.

Every once in a while a book comes along that seems like it was written specifically for me.

I got to see Ingrid Michaelson in concert at Neumos in Seattle last night.

As some of you may know, grocery shopping is very important to me.

You may have noticed that this blog has been pretty quiet for the past few weeks.

I have had some experience with craigslist before, but never selling stuff.

I have once again proposed a panel for SXSW 2010.

There's been a lot of talk lately about proprietary platforms.

I made the switch from PC to Mac a pretty long time ago.

I just finished reading Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals.

Looking back on my old posts from before I went to school at a hybrid Information/Library Science school, my opinions of librarians seemed fueled by a bit of prejudice.

I've become kind of a Vitamin Water fan.

I recently got a new iPhone 3GS (32GB!)

[flv:/blog/video/Segway.mp4 460 360] This weekend, I was in Gettysburg, PA visiting a pal.

Note: I lost the MP3!

While rummaging through my old room, I found an old cassette voice recorder thing.

What the hey!?

I understand that Blockbuster must get a lot of complaints from users about Blu-Ray discs not working in their DVD players and whatnot, but that's no excuse for them to treat me like a complete idiot… I had to check all three boxes to continue.

I haven't ever watched Blade Runner, and since I saw it on Blu-Ray at the library I thought this would be a good opportunity for me to catch up and earn some geek cred.

I cook sometimes.

I've been reading a lot of non-fiction books lately.

Yesterday was my birthday.

I just updated to the newest beta of Firefox 3.5 and it's apparently beta 99.

Today, I turn 26.

I've been messing around with iTunes and the DJ functionality.

So today, Microsoft unleashed its new search engine, Bing.

I saw this on my Adsense page just now.
