Is This Mitch Moxley?

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Received this odd text message last night. I am not Mitch Moxley, though I did read his book, Apologies to My Censor, which was a long whine about how hard it is to be a tall, handsome young Canadian guy whose parents bankroll his wanderings (I'm only half joking).  

I will always admire Mr. Moxley for what he once accurately wrote in a local expat magazine: "Luckily China is one of the few places on Earth where you can be employed to do virtually nothing."

Schwing Ride

One of the pleasures of growing up in China is being able to ride rickety contraptions in the park that haven't been reviewed by a group of lawyers.

DNS Propagation Check

Jumped the gun linking to the site ... DNS not yet fully "propagated" it appears ... should be the 198 address ... the 208 is a NetSol placeholder, I believe.  Handy tool.

Loony Bird Spotting

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Every weekday morning I scooter my son to school and then go on to the office.  There are several "regulars" we come across during the morning commute.  I sometimes meet the gentleman below as we both travel west on Chang'an Avenue.  He bikes along erratically and snaps pictures with his cellphone, seemingly at random.  I rode ahead a bit and took a picture of him... taking a picture of me.  It takes one mental health case to spot another.
