My Path

G. O. D. – 길
내가 가는 이길이 어디로 가는지
어디로 날 데려가는지 그 곳은 어딘지
알 수 없지만, 알 수 없지만, 알 수 없지만
오늘도 난 걸어가고 있네…
사람들은 길이 다 정해져 있는지
아니면 자기가 자신의 길을 만들어 가는지
알 수 없지만 알 수 없지만 알 수 없지만
이렇게 또 걸어가고 있네…
나는 왜 이 길에 서있나, 이게 정말 나의 길인가
이길의 끝에서 내 [...]

Seoul Serenity

Good Morning Seoul~
좋은 아침입니다 서울~  새벽의 서울은 가끔 내가 한국에 있나? 라는 생각이 들 정도로 다른 분위기의 도시입니다.
May 24th, 2011 ~5:40AM
Overlooking the Han River.  해가 떠오르는 한강.

오늘은 일출이 특별이 붉은 색이였습니다.
Seoul, still droopy eyed and groggy from slumber.  아직도 잠을 들깬 서울…

동작대교에서 반포대교 방향.

JIFF

JIFF = Jeonju International Film Festival
The 12th JIFF was the very first film festival that I ever attended.  I went to a couple of screenings during the past SXSW film festivals in previous years, but that was because I always got a free VIP Venue badge for working at the Cactus Cafe during my college [...]

All this over a picture of a rat…

UPDATE on the case:
The courts ruled on the case on the 13th of May – Fine of 2 million won for the culprit, ruled that the culprit had no intention of disrupting the G20 Summit, instead was just a method of self expression.  If you remember, the prosecution wanted a 10month PRISON SENTENCE.
To the Prosecutors [...]

You Owe It to Yourselves Spurs…

I LOVE my SPURS. Everyone & anyone who knows me will know that I am certifiably crazy about the Spurs. In junior high and high school, I used to have this belief that if I watched the Spurs AFTER finishing my homework, they would win, if I didn’t they had a higher chance [...]

The country I live in…

Since August 2006, I’ve been calling Korea my home. For many of my friends back in the US, Korea is either a country that is somewhere near & looks a lot like Vietnam and for others who are a bit more geographically educated, it’s a country in Northeast Asia, overshadowed by China & Japan. [...]

Seoul Motor Show

제 백수생활을 더 생산적으로 보낼려고, 시간날때마다 Final Cut를 연습하고 있습니다.  한 1년 전에 www.mediact.co.kr 에가서 FCP를 배웠는데, 뭐 언어나 골프처럼, 배웠어도 연습을 안하면 나중에는 아주 간단한것도 어렵더라고요.  미디액트는 영상작업 관련된 모든 것을 가르쳐주는 곳이고요, 또 장비도 빌려주는 곳으로 알고있습니다.  제가 들었던 FCP 강의는 10만원, 5일, 매일 3시간 – 이였고요, 너무 좋았습니다.  FCP의 베이식은 다 배웠습니다.  [...]

CHILL Spurs’ Fans & Haters

Okay, so the Spurs dropped game #1 to the Memphis Grizzlies, making the Grizzlies look pretty good in the process.  So what?  If you ask me, I’m even more confident the Spurs will not only win this series but go DEEP in to the playoffs because this is a script we’ve seen MANY TIMES BEFORE.
SPURS [...]

Music for a Lazy Saturday

It is an absolutely gorgeous day and my mood directly correlates to the level of sunshine outside.  I know I’m REALLLY late with this, as I usually am with all things pop music related, but since returning from the DEEP SOUTH, I’ve really taken a liking to Bruno Mars.  The guy is super talented and [...]

My Unemployed Life… 나의 백수 생활…

After almost 5 straight years of non-stop work, I’m unemployed for the first time since high school.  I was a bit fearful of this unknown, but I’m enjoying the free time and the bit of “me time” that I didn’t have the opportunity to have in the past several years.  I’m still trying to be [...]

Before Heading to the Antarctic Peninsula

Hello everyone!
Just thought I would drop a quick update before I head out to sea for the next 35 days or so.
Over the past week, I’ve been in Port Stanley, Falkland Islands, to prepare for my second trip down to the Antarctic.  (Technically, the first trip was down to the sub-Antarctic – to South Georgia [...]

An Alien on a Planet of Penguins…

Just a quick update…
Working on this documentary and having had the opportunity to experience everything that I have… it’s really difficult to describe everything into words and pictures and videos.  No matter how well they are taken or edited, pictures and videos cannot transfer the very same experience of being there onto the screens of [...]

Smartphone Apps Market in South Korea

My latest report for NHK World’s “Asia Biz Forecast” broadcast on Sept. 13th, 2010.
We took a look at the business side of the smartphone apps market here in South Korea and how it has the potential to become a formidable business model in the near future with the explosion of the South Korean smartphone [...]

SOARING OVER QUEENSLAND!

Back in February, I went on a media familiarization trip back to Queensland with several print media personnel along with a power blogger here in Korea.
Here’s a more detailed account of that trip: Adventures in North Queensland!
Among the tons of activities that we did during that trip was SKYDIVING. Skydiving was something that I [...]

Stop Moaning and Bit**ing

We complain. It’s in our genes, it’s in our nature to moan and groan about situations and circumstances that are disadvantageous to us. But sometimes, we need to take a step back and realize how good we have it. I thought this story by ESPN’s “Outside the Lines” was very inspiring for [...]

THE BEST START TO A DAY I’VE EVER HAD

For the better part of the last 5 months, I’ve been getting up at 4:30 AM, sometimes earlier to make it to work on time.  Doing an early morning radio show from 7 – 9AM requires you to function at god-forsaken hours.
Today, our wake up call was at 3:30AM.  Meet at the hotel lobby by [...]

Adventures in North Queensland

After touring through Brissy and the Gold Coast area with 6 wonderful kids back in October, I think TQ decided to reward me for my excellent babysitting skills by sending me on a “Men’s Adventure Tour” in North Queensland.
We arrived in Cairns on Feb. 2nd, got reacquainted with my good friend Ben Southall, the artist [...]

Babysitting in Oz

I took another trip to Oz last month, but this time it wasn’t with 15 other candidates competing for the Best Job in the World, instead it was with 6 kids from South Korea, picked for “The Best Global Leader” campaign sponsored by Tourism Queensland and DAKS KIDS (clothing brand).
The 6 children were picked from [...]

‘Key Nut’ 이란…?
: 심심할 때 주워먹는 땅콩(peanut)과 같은 오늘의 Keyword!

즉,  마음먹고 해야하는 공부를 통해서 배우는 것이 아니라 부담없이 즐기는 땅콩처럼

The “perks” of being TQ’s newest employee

About a month ago, Tourism Queensland and myself finally put the ink to the paper on a contract that made me TQ’s latest Tourism Ambassador.  Paul, the director of the TQ office in Seoul, took the time out of his busy busy schedule to meet up and present me the certificate of appointment.

For a closer [...]

Subway Photos

As promised, the pictoral evidence of my travels on Seoul’s public transportation.
July 12th, 2009

There are three main types of public buses in Korea.  There are the green “ma-eul” bus (neighborhood buses), the blue “si-nae” bus (city buses that have a longer route) and the red “ja-suk” bus (the buses that go from city [...]
