Hi there friend! I’m Mark, and this is my website. Here are some facts about me. You can find me on nearly every useful social network or service in the panel on the right.
- I live in Shanghai, China.
- I am the co-founder of TechYiZu, a volunteer organization dedicated to growing the Shangahi technology community.
- I am a Digital Strategist at Blue Hive, an advertising and marketing agency
- Overall, I search for and create ways to leverage technology to do really epic shit.
- I’m currently obsessed with the spread of mobile technologies throughout Asia.
- I don’t believe in the phrase “Discount Sushi.”
- I am a fanatical supporter of the Portland Timbers, and for a time wrote about them for the Portland Mercury’s Blogtown. If you’re keen to read my work, visit this nifty article index.
- I really like riding my bike despite the threat of certain death on the roads of Shanghai. I once appeared in a Magazine for such cavalier behavior.
- I’m now the proud owner of a bicycle marrying these last two points: gaze upon the glory of the Portland Timbers bike, built by Factory 5
- My Chinese name is 马一凡,which is both a bit of a transliteration, and a quite common Chinese name, so I lucked out.
- I would like the term musings eliminated from the blogosphere.
