Looks like WordPress just messed up.
Artman Talks and China Punks will be resuming their normal location.

Podcast sites down! Oh noes!
I’m not sure what happened, but WordPress has taken down (hopefully just suspended) both Artman Talks and China Punks. I don’t know why.
I discovered this after trying to implement some overdue changes to the Artman Talk site only to get a “This blog no longer exists message” and a link to the TOS. After examining the terms, I could find no part of the TOS where I might have knowingly violated them.
I’ve followed up, but am still waiting for a response. Hopefully, this is all mistake. If not, it could the universe telling me that its time to implement my plans for my own site, etc. We’ll see.
Until this is resolved, I’ll be posting both Artman Talks and China Punks episodes on my personal blog site.
Stay tuned. I interviewed Paul French over the weekend about luxury and consumption in China and will posting that soon. Also, expect another (long overdue) episode of China Punks, if Charlie’s eye is okay.

Authority Week
This was written by my dear Friend, Timothy Gutmann, way back in January when the Google v China ruckus began. I’ve only now had a blog/time to post this. Enjoy.
Authority Week
The Relevant Universe, Asia Asian Affairs Bureau, (Which Is Really More of a Credenza, It’s Late Qing Dynasty, Clean Lines, Stylish Yet Very Functional)
BEIJING AND SAN FRANCISCO. Rumors of Internet search giant Google’s departure from the Chinese market have sparked protest from Chinese netizens and innovation from China’s increasingly high-profile pro-government online community. Beijing based TangTech has announced plans to launch a search engine called Guoguo (国国), a “wholesome, patriotic alternative to certain Western brands” said Xi Rong, its developer.

The slow dance music
I’ve been listening to a lot of dubstep recently. First aided by a radio station which is pretty cool, but they mostly feature DJs (who are good, no maligning there) who play the same tracks in different mixes.
After some research, using my newly acquired Internet superpower, I found a very special show featuring not only dubstep but also some really amazing and cutting edge electronic music.
But, as per usual, it is a little hard to find those who share my interest, at least in person.
And, of course, there aren’t many shows here in Beijing. Even if there were, it would be rough getting my girlfriend to come with me.

Okay… what now?
stream of consciousnesses… go!:
whiel i write waiting for the words to appear on my screen becauseter something isnt working with my proxy…. sometimes i have the feeling that something is coming… Nietzsche it describes giving birth to an idea as giving birth to a baby… I feel like I’m on to something, something big, huge… but I don’t know what it could be
These ideas floating around waiting for a voice… the voice of a revolution, but how can anyone listen if not spoken?
This isn’t something new for me. Seeing these words now slows me down, like the censor has been turned on… it was easier before when I couldn’t see.. maybe that’s why it is so much easier for me to speak.. writing is oh so hard, because you can always take it back… that’s what the delete key is for, right?
Is this okay? is that okay? second guessing sucks
I’m slower… words don’t come as easily, the music is too loud, but the beats are amazing

Cloud Web
(Update: To listen to the piece as it was broadcast, click here )
When I first heard that “the internet is moving to the cloud,” my pride took a hit. As a fairly tech savvy guy, I should know what these people are talking about.
So I looked it up and it still didn’t make sense so I just left it, it really didn’t seem all that important at the time. Then I found websites like Glide society, Hobnox, and Dropbox, and that’s when I realized what it is.

Back to the Cubeture AKA The cat always comes back
Cuboy faces the dastardly Esquire Padrino
Introducing Cuboy!
Or rather, this is a radio piece I did on him. It was the first I did for China Drive and I spent many long hours working on it.
Please, be forgiving: this is the first radio piece I ever recorded, edited, produced, etc. I am no longer a radio virgin.
If you liked the piece then visit their website to watch cartoons, play the game, and even make your own cutoys!
(This is not a paid promo, I swear. I just like the game that much.)

First Things
This is the first among many.
High expectations weakened Obama, don’t let that happen here.
