Adieu Deathpower

For upwards of three years we’ve been entertained by Erik Davis’ insights on Cambodian culture, society, and religion - often peppered with his personal perspective on modern day happenings to boot. But he’s getting out while he’s still at the top of his game. Read it for yourself; there’s more writing to come but in different forms:  [...]

Phnom Penh Punk & ‘Chinese Democracy’

“Rebuilding The Rights of Statues” is my favorite People’s-Republic-of-China-approved “post-punk” band. No, seriously. Great sounds, they’ve obviously schooled themselves with some great influences. http://wiki.rockinchina.com/index.php?title=Re-TROS Fun to listen to.

I wish I had been aware of NaBloPoMo at the beginning of November, I only read about it a couple of days ago when I noticed someone on Xanga had badge, and came right along to check it out.

I read that this is the second year. Do we know if members continued blogging after November 2006?

A blog a day for 30 days, it's a good challenge, I'd like to try it next year just for the fun of it.

John - I'm no longer a comic reader, but I framed my '06 NaBloPoMo in a complex comics analogy. Maybe you'll get a kick out of it: intro & conclusion. Best of luck! - P
