For all of you who weren’t able to attend the Give2Asia call about disaster response in the Philippines earlier this week, Give2Asia actually released a transcript of the conference call that I thought might be of interest. You can download a copy of it

Some quick updates for everyone. First, I decided to update my twitter account username. Chinaesq is shorter, but since my China Blog is China Esquire, I decided to go with the full name. Please let me know if you think its a bummer idea.
http://twitter.com/ChinaEsq
Please update accordingly. Hopefully those following will get it updated automatically. Second, I will be using twitter a lot more actively since I can still give my thoughts on a wider variety of matters than putting full posts together. So if you follow the blog, I encourage you to follow the twitter too!
UPDATE: I am changing back to chinaesq based on initial feedback. Good call, Dan.

Yes, this post might sound sort of preachy and hit on moral values, but I think its useful to think about such issues because so much of business is predicated on this.

Yes, I bit the bullet. I resisted the Twitter thing for a long time, but for a few reasons, I decided to give in and try it out. I don’t know if I will stick to it, and I have no plans to let everyone know the microfine details of my life, but it’s fun enough to play with for now. My Twitter feed is located at:

Feel free to subscribe! You might see more there than on this blog. Raising a child is hard work and I don’t know how some bloggers can nurture their families AND their blogs.
