This is my new favorite David Yee. I’ve been envious of Raul’s martial arts alter ego for a while, and was pleased to Google up my kung fu attorney doppleganger this morning. Behold his biography, from Chin’s Martial Arts Academy:

David Yee is one of the CMAA Instructors at the Contra Costa Chinese School - Diablo Valley College in Concord, CA. David earned Gold Medals at both the August 2007 - 2nd International Kung Fu Wushu Tournament in Oakland, CA and the September 2007 AAU Chinese Martial Arts National Championships in Austin, TX. David competed and won at both tournaments in the Men’s Senior/Executive Divisions (over age 45) for Traditional Northern Shaolin Long Fist Kung Fu. He began his Kung Fu training with Sifu James Man Chin at the Buddha Gate Monastery in 2005. David’s martial art forte is traditional Northern Shaolin Long Fist Kung Fu and self-defense. Professionally, David Yee is a corporate Attorney and a licensed CPA.

This man, I guarantee, is making some serious notches in the bedpost of life. Go on, Assistant Coach David Yee, Esq., with your bad self—I am so honored to share the front page of our Google search results with you.

Amazing amazing edition today from Scott Listfield. I’d gladly put it in my living room, but I’ve assembled what I feel is the best possible showcase here.

CAVEATS: Furniture showcase does not necessarily reflect the opinions, suggestions, or level of taste generally associated with my employer, 20x200. Showcase depicts a lifestyle I myself could probably not withstand for more than two and a half minutes. Showcase represents lighting scheme not achievable in your home; also, no walls. Showcase includes two animals, one stuffed (“hans”) and one live (“twitta”); animals not required in your own showcase. Lamp in showcase unintentionally but strangely appropriately distorted. Print available in sizes other than enormous and suited for smaller, less Kubrickian contexts.

Some inventions are so wonderful that, centuries after their discovery, we continue to find new ways of making them speak. When it was invented, the voice of a piano was so novel; a keyboard instrument that could “sing” long stretches of melody—to the ears of somebody living in the eighteenth century, the piano itself is an aberration. Using it to extract granular “pixels” of sound and recompose the consonants and song of a human voice seems both romantic and perverse. File under: we are aliens on our own world, making fireworks out of cotton balls. [via Unquiet Thoughts]

20x200 Wednesday Edition: Rodeo Stars, Strong City, Kansas by Mike Sinclair

I love this edition. There’s something about it that reminds me so much of being twelve years old in Oklahoma, late in summer, with the air getting cool and smelling like dry mud. I’d probably be wearing some gym shorts and riding my Huffy too fast along the curb, headed to the grill to get a burger and a Coke, maybe a pack of Big League Chew. I wouldn’t be watching much rodeo, but I’d be making a lot of fun out of scant resources and not regretting living in the middle of nowhere in the least.

“It’s a curious thing, but there was one friend of my mother’s, who I adored … She took me for a walk—I don’t know how old I was, but very young—and I looked to the left and saw a long thin necklace of lights, and I pulled at her and wanted to know what it was. I was so frightened. They were so close to us. Were we in danger? And she said, “That is a boulevard, and those are automobiles.” And she added, “You mustn’t worry.” But that put into my head the word “boulevard,” and it has always been a major word in my life. I’ve never used it in a book. But it convinced me of how children will hold on to words and images for their whole life long. I just have to hear the word “boulevard” to get gooseflesh. So, in a sense, New York was a place where there were boulevards, fires and incredible danger.”

“I seek a spiritual marriage with a true Goddess based on deep love, intense chemistry, extreme passion, and lifelong devotion. Additionally, marriage includes financial and legal dimensions, and the complexities of my Global Vision will necessitate a pre-nuptial agreement. I will be generous, giving the Goddess I seek 100% legal control over an appropriate portion of the anticipated wealth.”

Bobby McFerrin and the pentatonic scale at the World Science Festival. It’s amazing how much about music and tonality we understand almost instinctively. Spend enough time with any tonal scale, slowly building your way to the edges, and your mind will just fill in the new octaves and intervals.

My Raindeer Self

When I was nine, my parents took me to a holiday fair at the mall, where I had my face painted as a raindeer’s. Very late that night, I refused to wash off the makeup and insisted that my dad take my picture and have the film developed at the one-hour photo in town. If I couldn’t be a raindeer for the rest of my life, I wanted to fall asleep with a picture of my raindeer self and look at it forever, but it was too late for my dad to take the film anywhere, and I remember crying myself to sleep that night. That picture’s in a brown leather satchel in my parents’ living room; I am very happy in it.
