Bought these in 2001. I have only used the DJ functions a few times. It's mostly being used as my CD transport...! I mix everything in Ableton Live. This is useless to me. Do you want it? I'm selling them (after I wipe them clean) or also available as permaloan!
Born Ralf Winkler in Dresden, Germany in 1939, A.R. Penck is the pseudonym for the artist, a name he used as he attempted to go under the radar to exhibit his artworks for the international audience while being actively pursued by the East Germany communist regime. His relationship with Galerie Michael Werner is significant, as it was this gallery where Penck would have his first public one-man show in 1969.
Penckâs paintings are known by its flat and pictographic imagery of human figures seen in Egyptian hieroglyphsâwhat the critics called âneo-primitivistââand other totemic forms. His early works suggest influence from Picasso, but having been turned down by academies in Dresden and East Berlin in his academic years, his work is different than those with more formal attitudes.
Besides art, Penck also has his love for jazz music. A keen drummer, he took every opportunity to play with the best jazz musicians of the late 1980s. His love for music has obvious influence, as his paintings also often feature lively improvisation of forms and compositions.
A.R. Penck lives and works in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Dublin and New York.

I picked up this Honey Orange Wheat Baguette 蜂蜜橘子麥法包 Paper Stone Bakery, a local bakery in Hong Kong.
It is crunchy on the outside, but chewy on the inside. It’s like carved out baguette filled with oranges. The orange flavor is concentrated into a paste like consistency, but remain in fruit physical form, as seen in the closed-up macro shot.
It has an interesting balance of sweetness and acid. If you’re familiar with the yuzu ice drinks typically served in Hong Kong, then this orange paste tastes a bit like that.
For $31 HKD (~$4 USD), it’s a decent bite for the morning.
Branding — I love the “Bread is Life” tagline on the wrapper. Subliminal messaging is an important branding device. The branding for this local brand did a lot of right without being in your face.

The f/8 macro is better in terms of showing the detail of the food, but the f/1.8 macro with the far shallower depth of field gives a more romantic feeling.

One man’s trash is another’s treasure. John Angus Chamberlain (April 16, 1927 – December 21, 2011)’s sculptural works are of pure magic, where their raw materials started lives as that from old car wrecks into something which is best described as a three-dimensional Abstract Expressionist (AbEx) forms.
The downside of using trash as raw materials is that they can be misinterpreted. Apparently, in 1973, two 300-pound metal pieces by Chamberlain were mistaken for junk and carted away as they sat outside a gallery warehouse in Chicago.
“My work has nothing to do with car wrecks,” he has said. “I believe common materials are the best materials.”
In line with my own deadyard photography series, however, I love these works. It is a bouquet made out of trash but one which is fantastic in every way. Crazyisgood.

I saw some colorful Xiao Long Bao 小籠包 while looking for a place to eat in Grand Plaza, and decided to check it out.
2/ Specialty Dynasty Xiao Long Bao (8 flavors) 特色皇朝小籠包 (八色)
Xiaolongbao refers to a type of small Chinese steamed bun traditionally prepared in a xiaolong, a small bamboo steaming basket. Xiaolongbao are often referred to as a kind of "dumpling", but are distinct from Chinese jiaozi or wonton. [1]
1. 招牌原味 Signature Original
2. 芝士 Cheese
3. 蟹粉 Crab Roe
4. 蒜香 Garlic
5. 川味 Szechaun
6. 韓式泡菜 Korean Kimchi
7. 鵝肝 Foie Gras
8. 黑松露 Black Truffle
The signature original is definitely the best.
3/ Vinegar 醋 is the only condiment I need for Xiao Long Bao.
4/ But some people also prefer hot sauce and pepper.
5/ 聞香蔥油餅 Scallion Pastry
6/ 聞香蔥油餅 Scallion Pastry - Inside view
Unusual item. Tasty. This pastry seems to be a modern interpretation of the traditional dish — Scallion pancakes 蔥油餅.
7/ 蘿蔔絲酥餅 Radish Pastry
Shredded daikon radish is thinly sliced and wrapped in pastry. Aka Turnip Puff Pastry, Radish Puff.
8/ 香煎豆沙鍋餅 Pan-fried Pancake with Red Bean Paste
Shanghainese dessert. One of my favorite desserts in Chinese cuisine. Often, I would intentionally dine in Shanghainese restaurants just so I know that I could order this dish.

One of best chess player at Washington Square. I've played with this guy for a long time now. He teaches me something every time I'm there.
We play chess though we mostly talk about philosophy. I liked him so much that I gave him one of my Moleskines a couple of years back. I was fairly surprised at how appreciative of the notebook - as *all* designers ought to! Moleskines were what we used to give to the interns too and all they wanted was an ipod!

About Arthur Russell
Wikipedia: Arthur Russel (musician)
Charles Arthur Russell, Jr. (May 21, 1951 – April 4, 1992) was an American cellist, composer, singer, and disco artist. While he found the most success in dance music, Russell's career bridged New York's downtown, rock, and dance music scenes; his collaborators ranged from Philip Glass to David Byrne to Nicky Siano. Relatively unknown during his lifetime, a series of reissues and compilations have raised his profile in the 2000s.

Winter in Hong Kong is coming to and end, and the 農曆新年 Chinese New Year is quickly approaching (next week).
I can never really tell when the seasons begin using the Gregorian calendar (the de facto international standard) [1]. But as the name of the Chinese traditional calendar 農曆 (literally agricultural calendar) [2], it is very accurate in predicting when the seasons begin and end.
The flowers are starting to bloom. I am not very sure which one this is, but it looks like 桃花 [3] Peach flower [4] to me. I love peaches, but I love peach flowers even more.
