little. yellow. different. A weblog by Ernie Hsiung

Infographics + Pop Songs = Awesomeness

Richard has a whole meme of songs as chartage, mostly from his LiveJournal community.
Not wanting to to pass a good meme when I see one, I humbly submit my own chart to the project:

Note that Ludacris does, indeed, have very little hos in the Manitoba area.

The Gay Bloggies, part 2

I’m competing in the Gay Bloggies this year. It’s in the form of a webgame. A webgame where people vote.
More than a year ago I was nominated for the the same awards, similar to the Weblog Awards that are announced every year at the SXSW conference except with categories like “Best porn star,” […]

7 years, 1,400 posts, 1 exasperated blogger

By the time you read this blog post, you will have noticed that my weblog archives have increased by, oh, fifty-fold. This is because, if all goes to plan, I will have imported all of my blog posts online - all blog posts that I’ve written over the past seven years. The funny […]

Because you haven’t heard my high pitched squeal enough

I recently did an interview with Dan Benjamin for his Hivelogic Radio show. It’s now online.

the gay bloggies

So, a co-worker tipped me off that I’ve been nominated for the 2006 Gay Bloggies, created by totally not-safe-for-work gay adult site Queerclick. The inspiration comes from the mainstream Bloggies awards, except for a couple of differences:

All Blog award nominees must be gay men, and “Bloggers must be able to prove (!!) their […]

Pope John and the Globetrotters

How did I miss this? Two years ago, the Harlem Globetrotters made Pope John Paul II an honorary member.

�With all the troubles that we see around the world, it gets more and more challenging to communicate with young people today,� said [Mannie] Jackson, [owner of the Globetrotters]. �Through efforts like today with the Pope, […]

A Phone Conversation at Work

A Phone Conversation at Work

Dan: Hey, everything ok? You just stopped writing on your weblog. No explanation.
Ernie: Yeah, everything is cool, I guess. I’ve got some pretty big family drama going on, and that sucks up my personal energy. A lot of it. Then I work all […]
