"There are ideas that change the way many people think, spend, and live. Some people ride these waves of ideas and are carried forward, while others tread water and let the waves pass through them.
A few harness these waves and channel them in new more powerful directions that impact everyone. Each of these waves is an IMPRINT."

Thats the blurb taken from the official site of the Imprint 2007 conference which is to be held in Los Angeles this September 13th. The conference will take a deep dive into the following subjects.
  • Street wear imprint dictating what the largest brands do for their next season
  • Imprint of bloggers who can bring multi-million dollar companies to their knees
  • Biggest on-demand entertainment imprint thats leveling the playing field for Asians
I have been invited to speak on a panel at the Imprint conference about dannychoo.com, blogging, web2.0 etc. I will be on with the other panelists at 10.30AM and stay on for the rest of the agenda. If you can make it then see you in Little Tokyo at the National Center for the Preservation of Democracy. Registration costs 459 USD for the whole day. If you cant make it then let me know if you are on for a meet up in LA - I leave LA on the 18th. Blog updates will continue everyday as usual ^^.
Not spent quality time in the US since I left Amazon so will stay for a week and look around the national parks (Yosimite/Universal) - would love to hear any recommendations.

The screenshot is of my speaker profile at the Imprint official site (look under speakers) - image taken from my Profile.

That reminds me - thinking of getting an iPhone but will need to hack it so that I can use it outside the US - any hacking tips would also be welcome ^^;

There's a software crack to unlock the iPhone so you don't have to tinker with the hardware...hopefully by the time you get there they'll be able to release it.  Legal issues seem to postpone the release for this.  Check out engadget from time to time for the latest on this. :D

I've been to the south west for 3 weeks last year, did many national parks. I recommend Yosemite very much. Sequoia is also quite nice with its huge Sequoia trees. Calico Ghost town (between LA & Vegas) is an interesting & well preserved ghost town.
Death Valley is not very interesting, just a lot of sand and very hot.
All the rest that we did were parks beyond Vegas, so that might be a bit too far from LA. There are still a few other parks that are within California though. Universal studio is quite nice too, we went in May and there were almost no waiting times at many of the rides. So off-season is the best time to go, and not too hot.
Here's the blog from our trip, it's written in Dutch though, but you can see the pictures :) (http://blog.jpopdb.org/index.php?blog=5)

Danny, I'm sure you probably know already, but the iPhone is currently GSM only.  No 3G for Japanese access.  

I'm waiting until it has 3G and support for custom ringtones before I even consider one.

Gratz on getting more publicity and good luck with the talk!

BTW, how did you end up working as a website coder and computer engineer when you done an Asian language course at university? Did you go through some other qualification training like CISCO? Or did you just have good experience and contacts?

Sorry for asking personal questions here but I can't find your e-mail address( ̄~ ̄;)

Hmmm, I'm a handful of hours away from LA in Vegas, but a weekend (Sept 15th-16th) trip could be tricky... 

In any case, good luck "harnessing the waves" at the conference! Worthy of Trooper Armor? LOL =)

Wow Danny....i've suspected it all along and I know you don't like to talk about it....but the imprint website confirms you ARE the offspring of THE Jimmy Choo. 

And now you've made a name for yourself  in your own right. Well done!

*still can't believe its true*

Urmmm...Malaysia Boleh? LOL!
