My bicycling friends at Shanghai Jiaotong University
I had the greatest bike ride last Friday night. I had gone out to the bar & had dinner with some co-workers and was headed home around 11 PM, riding home on Shimen Rd. #1 just north of Weihai road, and … Continue reading
Sunshine
First sunny day in as long as I can remember! The rainy season has been miserable the last few weeks, but maybe it’s finally passing?

The Flying Michigander
Named for Kevin, the current Head of IT in APAC at Mintel. Whom I’ll be succeeding. I’m moving to Shanghai in May! This week’s been mostly work. While it’s really interesting stuff, it’s complicated, and I’m tired. So here’s a … Continue reading
