I’m leaving China and it doesn’t mean a thing
It started with the oven. In Singapore in 2001 I bought a used Sharp R-8H50(B)T Rotisserie combination microwave and convection oven from my buddy, Tuck Wai, for S$200. Say what you will about the Sharp Corporation, which is struggling, but … Continue reading

Imagethief gets Rectified
Over the years I’ve been invited to contribute to many group blogs. I’ve penned the odd piece or two, but in most cases I’ve declined the invitations. Even when I was blogging a lot –Remember those days? Think, George W. … Continue reading

The best of the Imagethief archives restored at last
Since starting Imagethief in June, 2004 I’ve written about 1500 posts. Something like 1300 of them vanished from the Internet when a server hosting the pre-2010 version of Imagethief crashed catastrophically early last year. For about 1200 of those posts … Continue reading

Death to the blogroll
The implosion of my previous template gave me an excuse to do something that I’ve wanted to do for a while: Kill the blogroll. There are still plenty of blogs out there that I read and respect. But, let’s face … Continue reading

The Sinica that wasn’t
If you’re wondering what happened to last week’s Sinica, it was eaten by Gremlins. Kaiser, Gady, Jeremy and I recorded a nice, tight show on a range of topics –Korea, crazybad, the Shanghai apartment fire, and the woman who was … Continue reading
Oops
So it didn’t take long for my “restoring the archives” plan to run into trouble. Over the weekend I reposted this old post, but forgot to backdate it, immediately earning me a bunch of comments from readers who though had … Continue reading

Restoring the archives, one post at a time
Our regular reader (that’s not a typo) will have noticed some recent pissing and moaning about the vanishing of the old Imagethief blog with the 2004-2009 archives. I have offline versions of the whole shebang, but I can’t really be … Continue reading
It’s official: I’m an idiot
Some readers may have suspected as much, but now we have scientific confirmation. A couple of days ago I moaned about the loss of my 2009 posts, the only year that I didn’t archive before the server hosting the old … Continue reading

Whatever happened to that Imagethief guy?
So, regular readers will have noticed that posting on this blog has been reduced to approximately zero over the past few weeks. I thought a bit of an explanation was in order, if only to forestall the stampede of people … Continue reading
