Introducing: 8 Asians







I’ll post about my adventures in Canada soon enough, but first I wanted to talk about a side project that I’ve been working with a couple of people - 8 Asians.
8 Asians is a collaborative blog of eight different people of Asian decent. We’ll be posting about whatever Asian issues are currently relevant in our lives, whether it be pop culture or current events or politics. Think “The View,” with Star Jones and Rosie O’Donnell and that chick from Survivor. Now, replace them all with Asian-Americans and Asian-Canadians. Yeah.
My role in this weblog is one part editor, one part blogger, one part casting director because I’m trying to cast a bunch of different writers. Some of the writers are relatively familiar, while others are first-time bloggers. That’s on purpose. Admittedly, the blog is pretty rough both in terms of design and process, and I’m doing this in my free time when I’m not working at the start-up, but it’s something to pass the time, I suppose. (And, if you’re a writer interested in writing about Asian-American issues that might want to be on the blog at a later time, let me know.)
