The Valley : How Silicon Valley Became A Startup Paradise

This is the video I took on May 2010, when I traveled around United States.

I visited as many startups as I can in Silicon Valley, and interviewed people who work there.

I'm very inspired by the people there, and the atmosphere of the startup industry. Thanks to all the people who gladly allowed my interview.

And I hope all of you enjoy this film.

Soompi tweetup

I found a tweet on Twitter about a week ago which attracted me a lot. It was the one says @ejang is setting up a tweetup with @joycekim, who is the founder of Soompi.com, a Korean entertainment online community.

I've been known Joyce on Twitter for a while, and I thought it was very nice chance for me to meet one more nice person in person.

Joyce Kim was much more fun and cooler than I thought. We met on the elevator going up to the meeting place and had a short talk, and I even felt that she's my sister or something. Although she was very famous person to all of us at the meet-up, she was very humble and friendly.

And the people who joined there were all very passionate and they've got many thing to learn. I earned many thing on that day.

Here's the pictures of people who attended.

I want this group to last for a long time, and hope we could help each other in a good way.
