we live in a beautiful world

I am an American graduate student whose cultural influences include (in order of familiarity) Japanese, Taiwanese, Indian, Tibetan, Chinese, and Singaporean cultures.My research interests encompass topics related to all aspects of the internet and China, including politics, economics, and culture.I have a fascination with all things tech-related. I follow tech blogs a little too avidly and “secretly” hope to learn AJAX someday.My aspirations are to be a new media producer and eventually run my own company as well as a foundation.When I have free time, I try to improve upon my DSLR photography and filmmaking skills.
