AJ on Food: Lantern Festival = Yuanxiao = Gigantic Moon
http://food.andrewjing.com/2015/03/lantern-festival-yuanxiao-gigantic-moon.html
To be a good cook is to be a good eater, and vice-versa. I was raised in a restaurant, but cook mostly for myself. These are my thoughts and adventures relating to food. Thursday, March 5, 2015. Lantern Festival = Yuanxiao = Gigantic Moon. For us "Practicing Chinese" (in the cultural sense), today is the 15th day of the new year. This also marks the end of major festivities associated with Lunar New Year/Chinese New Year/Spring Festival. To mark the occasion, I had some Yuanxiao. Follow AJ on Facebook.

AJ on Stuff: A Second Try at a First Post
http://www.andrewjing.com/2015/03/a-second-try-at-first-post.html
Thursday, March 5, 2015. A Second Try at a First Post. Please excuse my abrupt outburst of joy in my very first post a couple days ago. It all started back in 2012, when I finally bit the bullet and bought my first domain, which also happened to be my own name. It was something I had dreamed about since I was a kid, during the dawn of the internet, and I don't really know why I put it off until then. The damage? Do I turn it into an online profile and resume? Or write a blog? Or open a storefront? I want...

AJ on Stuff: Killing Them (Not So) Softly: BART and Your Eardrums
http://www.andrewjing.com/2015/03/killing-them-not-so-softly-bart-and.html
Tuesday, March 10, 2015. Killing Them (Not So) Softly: BART and Your Eardrums. For anyone who has taken the BART in San Francisco, and for anyone who takes it every day, you know that these trains are loud. Like, really loud. In fact, if I didn't have my in-ear headphones, I would have to cover my ears through some sections. For my own sake, I needed to know whether taking the BART would affect my hearing over the long term. But just how loud is it? These are my results, in motion GIF form. You can s...

AJ on Stuff (Home). AJ on the Road. Friday, March 6, 2015. Hello and welcome: Why I'm starting a tech channel. There are a million tech blogs out there. Why bother with one of my own?

For this channel, I obviously want to write about things related to technology. But what about it? I'm actually more of a dog person. How do they work? For all th...
