Above is a picture from the New Year street fair on Grant (Chinatown). It was packed to the gills; everyone was taking home pussywillows or orchids for their own celebration at home. At one end of the street was a pavilion for the local Chinese language radio station. It was cool for its lack of slick professionalism. Local station, local news, local advertisments: no polls, no martial typewriter music to announce the importance of the opinion break, and regular, relatively sane people on the air. But don't worry, big media will fix that when it gets done homogenizing the Spanish and Indian stations. A free country demands central control.
I've been experimenting with mu-torrent on my computer. It works well, but sucks time and most of my small bandwidth, so posts have suffered. I'll get the round-up out and try to bring things back up to speed with a batch of posts Tuesday.
