Hong Nhung’s outstanding performance on Trinh Cong Son’s “Roi Nhu Da Ngay Ngo.” This is by far the most engaging version I have heard. The beat is just “off the hook.”
Diggin’ the handsome 3D legos navigation on Vassar’s Cognitive Science site. Great job Chris.
Niebaum-Coppola Estate Winery is just inspiring with beautiful photos, elegant design, and importantly, jaw-dropping navigation.
A resume with a personal touch from Manon Carrie. Shoot! I’ll hire her any time.
The shining star, my shining star Phuong Thuy. Check out her live performances on “Corazon De Melao” and “Mei Fei Se Wu.” Isn’t she blazin’ or what? Keep shakin’ your thang, girl.
Unlike today’s ActionScript hardcore programming, Post Visual uses Flash as a motion tool to deliver their messages and the result is aesthetically beautiful. Check out both The Scandal and The Uninvited to see why they are the Interactive Annual 10 Winners from Communication Arts.
“Nho Mua Thu Ha Noi,” a mesmerizing performance by Hong Nhung. Damn! I miss Vietnam so much.

Biggie’s mix joints by DJ Dirty Harry and DJ Vlad should be pumpin’ in everything freakin’ club. The beats are off the hook and Biggie rhymes are just blazin’. This mix is taken from The Notorious BIG Rap Phenomenon LP.
Yeah baby! Apple’s Motion is shipping. She looks hot as hell with real-time design. I can’t wait to play with her.
Hong Nhung’s acappella version of Ru Tinh rocks. Her voice is mesmerizing.
Tran Duy Tinh’s interpretion of Trinh Con Son’s music. Tinh translated many songs Trinh had written before 1975 about humanity. It’s quite inspiring. Although Tinh’s Vietnamese is not perfect, he got my respect for trying.
Studio shots of my lovely cousin Jessica Ly. Isn’t she beautiful? Still young and restless.
Check out this crazy Bozzetto in the Olympics.
“When The Colors Come Together” is an aesthetically beautiful watercolor painting by Mr. Hilt, my Jr. High art teacher. He is the man with the visual eyes. Loved his art, loved his class, and loved his personality. He was one of the coolest teacher I had. I missed drawing and listening to Jimmi Hendrix at the same time.
My nephew’s MTX stereo system kills my eardrums. The whole SUV shakes when he pumps up the volume. Couple years ago, he was so impressed with my car system that he went to school to become a professional stereo installer. Now his bass makes my heart pounds. I have to give it to him. The hookup looks mad sweet.
An inspirational story of a Cambodian MC who recites his history through the blend of hip hop and traditional Cambodian music. For samples of Prach Ly’s music and lyrics, drop by Frontline World.
“Thoi Gioi Binary” is an unique Vietnamese poem with English keywords. The Vietnamese version is quite clever but if you can’t read Vietnamese, “a Two-Faced World” is the translated version.
After two years of being silence, Yugop has finally arrived with some wicked experimentations and a newsfeed.
Tonic site is clean, simple and smooth. Check out the “Our Team” section. It’s slick as hell.
Wow! The entire book site created using Flash. Ariel Bookseller is clean, crisp, and visually beautiful but it is accessible?
As I have predicted, Nguyen Ngoc Ngan’s statement on Paris By Night 73 would tick off the folks in Vietnam. However, the misquote from a Vietnamese newspaper is bothering me. Mr. Ngan didn’t say the Vietnamese community in the US is against singers in Viet Nam who were nominated by the Vietnamese government. He only represented Thuy Nga production not the whole Vietnamese community so please get that straight.
The article also mentioned the banning of Mua He Ruc Ro in Vietnam. What is up with that? Mua He Ruc Ro is a highly respected work for its original purpose, which is to celebrate the success of the Vietnamese in America. From what I can recalled from the video, there was no incident of protesting against the Vietnamese government except for maybe Don Duong’s speech but he has every right to speak up on his situation. To make things short, I thought this video should be treasured not only in America but it should served as a sense of pride for the people in Vietnam as well. Unfortunately, the Vietnamese government doesn’t want to recognize the good part about us. They are probably thinking, “Look what they can do after leaving Vietnam. If we show our people this video, everyone would want to leave Vietnam.”
I am not opposing the Vietnamese government and I am not supporting the act against the communist either. I only care about the work of art and the Vietnamese government is not being fare. The Vietnamese community or even the US government is not banning film like Nguoi Dep Tay Do. It’s a beautiful work of art even though it is telling from the communist point of view. I enjoy Nguoi Dep Tay Do as well as Mua He Ruc Ro. A beautiful work is a beautiful work no matter which side created it. I am just hoping that Vietnamse people can get a chance to see both as well and not just Nguoi Dep Tay Do.
