My penultimate article for TechCrunch
Does anyone have a recommendation for visa/travel agent in Taiwan for getting a multi-entry business visa for China? Thanks!
The @UPS main office in Neihu District, Taipei is always extremely helpful and there is never anyone there because they handle only business accounts.
Simon Keeton (EVP and GM of @onsemi’s Power Solutions Group) chats with @rnass about Silicon Carbide (SiC) on the @embedded_comp Embedded Executive podcast: embeddedcomputing.com/technology/ana… #SiC #SiliconCarbide #semiconductors #IntelligentPower #SmartPower #PowerSolutions #powersystems
Relatively new regulations regarding enrolling kids in Taiwan science park bilingual schools (Hsinchu, Taichung, Tainan) preference Taiwan Gold Card holders despite that it is in some ways inferior to an APRC. Trying to figure out how to do this with an APRC.
Is anyone familiar with any startups in any locations of the Hsinchu 新竹科學園區, Central 中科, or Southern 南科 Science Parks? Thanks!

Taroko Gorge is world class and one of the most underrated gems in Asia. Here’s hoping that it can be fully restored 🙏🙏🙏
It will cost roughly NT$1 billion (US$30.92 million) to restore #Taroko National Park in Taiwan's mountainous area, best known for the natural views and trails along the Taroko Gorge, after it was severely damaged by a magnitude 7.2 #earthquake on April 3, focustaiwan.tw/society/202404…
I still have the first piece of Google swag I ever got - when I joined in 2007, every Noogler got an allowance to buy something from the Google store in Mountain View. I don't know why, but I spent mine on this map bag. Still in great condition, though the clasp broke years ago.
In 2007 I was hired as Google's first China product counsel. Over the next few days I'll share photos of swag I acquired over the last 16 years which, as I begin my last month at the company, have taken on some sentimental value, starting with the 1st piece of swag I ever got:

Excited to announce that after 16 years as Google’s lead China counsel I’ve submitted my resignation! No plans to go back to work full time. Want to focus on my hobbies (cycling, birding) and working on follow-up volumes to my casebook "State Prosecutions of Speech in the PRC."

My penultimate article for TechCrunch
‘Taiwan needs to find its own groove’: what startups want from the next president tcrn.ch/49y4IwD
I’m confused why TechCrunch let any of these people go (@mirandahalpern, @mjburnsy, @etherington,@morgan_sung,@Harriblogs, @StefanEtienne). These are some of the best minds in journalism and I wish I could borrow their brains for a day (I would say forever, but I’m not zombie).
Since I’ve been talking about myself here so much, I feel like take sometime to signal boost some other TC colleagues who were also affected by the layoffs.
Challenge accepted. 😀I tried coming up with a short list of outstanding films from HK since 2019. It's not really all that short. These are only the best HK films I've seen 2019-2024 (in approximately chronological order): no doubt I've missed some:
I respect Shelly a whole lot but that wishful resurgence of hk cinema is mostly wishful thinking from within the city. Most recent films are god awful, TABLE FOR SIX sold a lot of tix but it’s the most unfunny comedy I’ve endured.
Logged into TechCrunch's backend to edit one of my posts and saw that I wrote 3,146 articles for them over 12 years. I’m sure there were more, because I can’t find some of my earliest work. No wonder I had carpal tunnel syndrome.
I guess it takes some downtime to process hard things, because today was the first time I felt a gut-punch about being laid off from TechCrunch. It’s not the lay off (if not me then someone else, and why would I wish that on anyone?) but realizing I’m losing a group of people who…
12 years at TechCrunch to 12 working days left. @bheater noted there’s a kind of symmetry to that.
So many people have messaged me to see how I'm coping with my lay off. I'm really grateful, and I'm genuinely doing well. Of course it's hard to lose a job I've been at for so long, but l've been thinking a lot recently about what I want the rest of my writing career to look…
Along with these amazing coworkers, I was also laid off after 12 years at @TechCrunch. I am looking for jobs I can do in Taipei, or remotely. I’m available for journalism and PR/comms work.
Thank you to all those who reached out...I, along with our whole team, was devastated to learn of the layoffs at TC today. So many talented people that will be missed like crazy! If you're hiring for writers/editors, please consider @mjburnsy, @etherington, @morgan_sung and…
