1. A place for ideaposts. Idea posts are for things I’d like to do or see someone else do. Email me or reblog if it makes you think of something related, or already done, or that you’re about to do with me.

2. A concoction of things that I like and a few things that I make. I'm especially into anything that helps me imagine ways to connect youth from different cultures in artistic, ridiculous, hilarious, serious exchanges.

3. Inspired by students & teachers I've worked with through projects like these: Inside/Out: Multimedia exchange between students in California and China. The Small World Project: Ongoing workshop series of online youth collaborations piloted in Hong Kong.

Some of my stuff: Videos on vimeo. Images on flickr.

  • Zigzag: Thanks for the reply, however I'm looking for a detailed answer. Like the earth orbits the sun at 67,000 mph, the sun and the solar system travel at...
  • I know I'm moving fast but I wanna know how fast.

  • Zigzag, you and I both.
