...first things I did while in prison is start an organization called Free The Media, which my Dad helped develop the website for. Basically, it's a web 2.0 interactive environment where people can collectively brainstorm and work towards developing campaigns to help assert the rights of the media against both governmental and corporate pressures and influences. [PrisonBlogs.net is another project where prisoners] will write to a central p.o. box to obtain a sponsor, then their sponsor will write to them and let them know, 'Here's my address, and you can send me letters or art [for posting].'

...Fifty years ago, parenting was so much simpler for Asian men. As the sole breadwinner, a dad's responsibilities typically ceased the moment he crossed the threshold of his home and flopped into his favorite chair, while mom dealt with the dinner and the children.

...Heder, the geek from Napoleon Dynamite, who's the more appealing presence, and his character who has the cleverer backstory. We learn that as a child Jimmy was adopted by a rich man (William Fichter) bent on breeding champion skaters. "When I was nine," Jimmy says, "my dad insisted I be circumcised to minimize wind resistance." In his early maturity he has soft curls and a winsome grace; Chazz sneers that he looks "like a 15-year-old girl, but not hot.") When Jimmy is stripped of his gold medal, his father immediately "unadopts" him and dumps...
