peace out

April 22nd, 2008 · 6 Comments


They say they never really miss you till you dead or you gone,
So when I know that leavin’ after this song,
So you ain’t gotta feel no way about Stevo so long,
At least let me tell why I’m this way, hold on.

Jay-Z, December 4 (creatively edited by me)

It’s been a little more than a year. Back in April 2007 I had a crazy little idea, a blog with my name as the domain. I’d been part of other writing and photography sites, but their TOS, and utter idiocy prevalent in some parts of the Internet, grated on me. inane ramblings was born.

The fact I knew nothing about PHP, CSS, pingbacks, backlinks, Page Rank, Alexa, or widgets, didn’t stop me. I got up to speed. I met some friends: Some castaways from the orange asylum, and others, super-cool new ones.

What did the last year hold?

one person’s trash…

April 10th, 2008 · 6 Comments

Recycling is big business in China. It sometimes seems everyone is collecting the detritus of society. Older women, the venerable ai yis, root through my trash, in the hall waiting to be carried downstairs, stealing away with the empty cans and bottles.

Some entrepreneurs, above, visit businesses, like this one in Shekou, Shenzhen, and collect empty cardboard boxes. The boxes would be taken to a local, street-level recycling depot for cash.
