We stayed at a cozy cabin in Shenandoah Valley for the past three days. No Internet or cell phone reception, but it was a great time.

Highlights include: a trying hike on a snow-filled trail (Chocolate survived it), a visit to Luray Cavern (I enjoyed it way more this time, ten years later), lots of Neoguri ramen and kimchi, snow golf with Coors Lights, a sausagefest in the hot tub, and lots of beer. A pleasant way to end the year! Now we’re headed to DC to welcome 2010 at Wally and Meredith’s. Happy New Year!

It was an idea that came to us late one night at the office: a simple website that collected profiles of Korean Americans and featured a new person on the homepage every day.

After putting together a quick design and customizing WordPress, we had our site. With the help of our intern Jenny Lee and our friend Anna Kim, we slowly spread word through various blogs and Facebook. At first, we begged our friends to post and thankfully some did. But after a while, things began to pick up as Korean Americans from across the country and beyond started submitting their profiles. We were pleasantly surprised by the diversity of perspectives and the insightfulness of the submissions. With 40 profiles posted (5 each week) and many more in our queue, we're excited to share these profiles and to explore what the identifier "Korean American" means to different individuals.

This is strictly a non-profit endeavor for us. We're having a good time with it and it's enabled us to meet very interesting and inspiring people. Stay tuned as we add more features and continue to showcase Korean Americans.

Hosting a holiday party this season and need some quality sound equipment? Rheewind.com has you covered with a wide selection of audio equipment for parties small and large (speakers, mics, turntables, and more).

We recently moved Rheewind.com from a static HTML setup to WordPress in order to make it easier to post announcements of new equipment acquisitions, recent events that featured Rheewind equipment, and tips/resources for DJs. We're also looking to expand on the DJ Network section in the near future.

In the meantime, if you know anyone in need of gear rental for a sweet holiday party, please send them to Rheewind.com!

Tried my hand at making a large ice cube using a plastic container. The awkward rectangular shape made it tough to drink so I tried chopping the ice block with a knife and it gave me a nice cube-ish shape. Feels deluxe drinking bourbon like this.

A nice and relaxing Thanksgiving holiday this year. Mel’s parent and Reggie came over for dinner (you can see me and Mel’s dad passed out after dinner). On Friday, caught up with old high school friends at a party in Edison. On Saturday, played in a fun tackle football game – Mel took some video footage (http://vimeo.com/user990348). And this morning, had a wonderful breakfast prepared by Mel. Yum.

We're fond of our alcohol, but when the weather turns a bit chilly, we always look forward to a nice warm cup of tea at our office (a Zojirushi is essential for easy tea). That's why we felt nice and warm building the site for Sanctuary T Restaurant, a place that really knows its teas and serves it in a relaxing and beautiful space in Soho.

We're also working on an e-commerce site for Sanctuary T, so stay tuned!
