I am not the biggest fan of Lady Gaga, but I do see why people would like her – but I do like me some Beyonce.

Now that John Park got the boot on American Idol, Manny Pacquiao is driving the Asian American pop culture train. He is our only hope. All of our eyes are on him. He is our God. He is watching over San Francisco in the form of a billboard perched atop Nike Town in San Francisco’s [...]

If you are not following me on Twitter, then you are probably dying to know what I was Tweeting during the Academy Awards on Sunday night. Well, you’re in LUCK! I have taken the liberty of “print screening” my Twitter page for you (in reverse chronological order of course):

Beyonce’s “Video Phone” video (featuring Lady GAGa) has withstood the pop cultural relevancy timeline and it is still as entertaining as the first time I blogged about it back in November 2009.
What many don’t know is that this video can be used in geography classes all over the world. Beyonce is a virtual teacher of [...]
