I decided to host Chinese New Year party, featuring a lo hei. Lo hei is a uniquely Singaporean tradition centered around a assembling a salad. It starts with a presentation of around a dozen ingredients, each symbolizing health, happiness, and wealth.

At WordCamp NYC a few weeks back, I gave a 10-minute flash talk on editorial tools that I’ve seen different media companies use. Presenting at the United Nations Headquarters was definitely a wild experience!
