This Monday I’m excited to kick off what I’m calling Mini Story Monday. The simple goal of MSM is to tell a story in just a few short paragraphs – an ongoing attempt to break down any story to it’s bare essentials. Telling better stories requires telling stories. And that’s my aim ___ In early…

2012 was a long year. 366 days I’m told. That extra day seemed a lot longer than a day, yeah? I’m glad to see it end and eagerly looking forward to what 2013 has in store .

The picture above is a panoramic where you can clearly see the line between modernization and the ancient hutongs. Though I’m not a huge fan of panoramics, this one stuck out to me well before I took it – the contrast couldn’t be more stark (click image to enlarge). Earlier this month, my first stop on my 4,500+…
