The moment has arrived. Here’s how this works: Starting right now, you have 24 hours to produce and submit your work. We’ll take the next 24 to select, edit, design and lay everything out. The end result will be a beautiful glossy paper magazine. And a super sharp digital edition.

And this…

If Colbert was giving voice to a September 11 mind-set that still secretly plagued the network’s image—Al Jazeera as a Trojan horse for extremism—Mohyeldin seemed to anticipate the question, assuming the measured voice of reason to Colbert’s contretemps. “Unfortunately Americans are being deprived of the choice of watching Al Jazeera,” he said, “and people say that Americans aren’t interested in international news. I think that’s false…. The reality of it is these cable companies which are not carrying Al Jazeera are sadly helping to contribute to the misinformation…. “

On Colbert’s mock-news, this was the only true ideological clap line of the night, perhaps because the audience cottoned to the idea of free choice and unfiltered information, and from where I stood, sandwiched between two Al Jazeera PR people in the wings—a pair of young Americans named Molly and Sophia—there was a palpable sigh of relief. If the first question of the day was whether America was ready to give Al Jazeera a second look, then, at least here at the Comedy Central theater on West 54th Street, the network had reasonably survived the hard blast of American chauvinism played by Stephen Colbert, but more, they’d heard what they felt at least a little deserving of: some good old-fashioned American applause.

just discovered american drink and am wondering why it took me so long. happy tumblr tuesday! : )

I’m trying to finish the unfinished books on my goodreads list, and am currently reading Japanese Society by Chie Nakane.

It’s a short, but dense read that explains…yes, you guessed it, Japanese society. With each page, I begin to appreciate my Japanese heritage more and more. One of these days, I will visit Japan. : )

I discovered this today on Twitter (thanks @GuyKawasaki), and it made me smile.
