My name is Jonathan Young, a 30-something Chinese American who resides in the San Francisco Bay Area. My family moved to this area from Hong Kong when I was ten years old. I now consider both San Francisco and Hong Kong my hometowns.
As a first generation immigrant who has mostly assimilated to American culture, I offer a unique perspective on American and Chinese culture, and various other subjects. On this website I (try to) write about topics that interest, provoke, or infuriate me.
My father died when I was 18 years old but he lives on in the books and articles that he authored during his lifetime. As I often contemplate my mortality, I thought about what I could do to leave my mark on the world. I hope that some of the things I author on this site will be left behind when it is my turn to depart.
Previously, this website was a collection of computer-related articles. They are still here, and I will continue adding articles as I discover new topics.
