Here are a few of my non-law interests.
In the fall of 1994, at the suggestion of Amy Wong Mok, I began producing a public access cable TV show called Asian American Austin with the help of a small group of University of Texas students. Our show was instrumental in calling the UT administration's attention to the need for an Asian American Studies program. Today, as one of the longest-running shows on Austin Community Television, it continues to be a catalyst for community activism in Austin.
My wife Judy Tseng and I produce a similar show, Asian American Focus, for cablecast in the Triangle Area. We would enthusiastically welcome any offers of help. By the way, if you're looking for a good Raleigh lawyer, she's a credit to our profession.
I have been playing contract bridge since 1978, although I have never put in the time to become an expert like my friends Alex Kolesnik (a classmate from Austin High) and Sharon Beynon, who have traveled in far more elite circles. I did get to represent the Oxford University team in the Oxfordshire Bridge Association's Wessex League in 1989-90. Robert Sergeant and I flummoxed the locals with our peculiar variant of the Precision bidding system.
I play only occasionally these days, usually online on MSN Zone. If you'd like to play a few hands with me, let me know.
I resigned from my position as UT student government president in January 1987 to prepare for graduate school through the Budapest Semesters in Mathematics program. The program was only two years old, and although Pál Erdös (the most prolific mathematician of the 20th century) was no longer teaching, we benefited from some of the nation's star professors and class sizes of between 5 and 15. My Erdös number is 4, courtesy of Bill McColl, Mike Paterson and Frances Yao.
I'm starting to pull together a page of live webcam feeds from places I've lived.
After so many years of wandering the earth, it's been all too easy to lose track of friends and colleagues. Where Are They Now? is my personal attempt to use the Internet's unique capacity to bridge time and distance.
Oddly enough, I earned my degrees at the same universities where the three present and former First Daughters are currently in school: Jenna Bush is at Texas, Chelsea Clinton is at Oxford, and Barbara Bush is at Yale.
