Helvetica

July 23, 2009 6 comments

I just finished watching this movie called Helvetica.

It’s a sci-fi set in the future about this alien race who were trying to retake their planet Helvetica.

No… actually, it’s a documentary…

About the font.

It’s an hour and 20 minutes long.

The documentary is pretty eye-opening… it’s like when somebody first informs you that you’re breathing oxygen and you say what? really?  Helvetica is used EVERYWHERE.  Almost as much as oxygen.

If you have the slightest interest in type design I’d suggest it if you haven’t seen it already.  I don’t really have any interest in type design, but design always facinates me even though I suck at it.  You should also watch it if you enjoy listening to crazy designers and their far out thoughts and ideas.  People have some really strong opinions about Helvetica!

Good morning. Deal with any relationshipmarital problems that you have constantly.. Never let little problems just sit. I recently read a story about.. “What’s that smell”.. Have you ever gone into your refrigerator and said “What’s that smell”. You could not figure out what was stinking inside?? Usually its some left overs that you forgot about etc etc…. It’s the SAME with relationships.. You must not push problems into the back. Your problems will not get better! On the contrary,, They’ll ALWAYS start stinking! (Word to the wise) Deal with your issues quickly everyone! (Remember!) Whatever you leave behind you,, you’ll always find right in front of you. :-)

El Rocoto

July 20, 2009 6 comments

We decided to visit an old favorite spot last weekend – El Rocoto in Cerritos.  They serve great Peruvian food.

If you’ve never tried Peruvian food (what are you waiting for?), it’s South American cuisine with a pronounced Chinese influence.  It’s not uncommon to find fried rice and wonton soup on a Peruvian restaurant’s menu.  Actually, my favorite dish is lomo saltado, which always reminds me of the chow fun I would eat every Sunday with my grandmother in Chinatown.

Bread and dipping sauces

For starters - hot bread and some spicy dipping sauces

Cusquena

Peruvian beer - it was actually very sweet.

Lomo Saltado

Lomo Saltado: ribeye with french fries, onions, tomatoes, cliantro and lime.

I went to go see some stand up comedy for a friend’s birthday.  It was a great time… some of those comedians gave me face cramps from all the laughing!

Here’s one of them…

Did You Know?

I was reminded of my old SSR MKIII by my buddy Rob who is selling a bunch of cool used wheels from Japan.   All of my old 15″ wheels were bought from friends or businesses when they were already imported to the USA… except for my SSR MKIII.

Did You Know…

that my SSR MKIII were sold to me by one of the dudes in Night Zone?

My buddy Ogawara Ken was in contact with them and made the deal happen.

My New Blog

July 16, 2009 3 comments

Some of you may have not noticed, but I finally moved servers.  I got a free domain name with it, so welcome to bensonhsu.com.

If you subscribed to my previous blog with an rss reader, please update your link!  My new rss feed link is:
http://blog.bensonhsu.com/?feed=rss2

If you came from sileightymania.com, then if you look up, you’ll see that you’re now at http://sileightymania.bensonhsu.com.  I decided a long time ago that my site needed a makeover, but at the same time I wanted to keep sileightymania.com the way that it looked… so sileightymania.bensonhsu.com won’t change… it will look like that forever (probably not a good thing).

You’ll also notice that I’ve finally given in and turned my blog into a wordpress blog!  My previous blog was entirely programmed by me, and there was just too much neat stuff out there for me to keep up with.  Plus I had no time to be programming a blog!  I’d rather be doing stuff and getting paid for it!

Thanks for reading guys… I promise to update more often!
