J.Yang has slummed it in the valley with the Wakefield twins; slumber partied with Huey, Dewey and Louie; joined Krakow in stalking Angela; and climbed every mountain with the Von Trapps.
Originally from San Diego, he's lived and traveled the world (okay, not all of it) in pursuit of that most elusive of targets -- inspiration.
He's authored and published a book, written for online and offline publications, and maintained a variety of popular blogs on subjects ranging from movies and technology to personal stories and amateur musings. He's just wrapped up his second book, a fiction novel for teens, and is hard at work on his third one.
You can reach him at digitaljon@SPAMgmail.com. He is BFF with his iPhone so he should answer promptly.
Any movie starring Natalie Portman and Steve Buscemi -- my favorite actress and actor -- would be guaranteed to be at the top of my viewing list. This might have been their first movie together actually. Then again, the entire film is a just a series of ten minute vignettes so they actually weren't in anything together.
Let's talk about the movie. Well, go see it. That's it. It's that good. Just see it. It's pretty amazing and even if one of the bits doesn't quite work, it's over in a few minutes. Some pieces are more memorable than others, some are probably better upon a second viewing. To be honest though, I enjoyed every segment and minute of the film, which is something that can be rarely said about anything.
My soon to be released book for teens is called "Exclusively Chloe," it's all about a normal girl who gets adopted, quite literally, into the celebrity life. It's my first fiction work and I'm super excited about it.
It's set to come out May 14, 2009, from Puffin/Speak and I could tell you all about it but then you'd just wish you'd read it. As the release date nears, I'll have more information, some contests, and maybe a secret or two. Everyone loves secrets, you know you do!
I also wrote this other book called "The Rough Guide to Blogging" and it's the ultimate reference for all things Weblog. Whether you want to start your own blog or just explore the blogosphere, this guide will teach you everything you need to know.
