Sorry the site’s been quiet lately folks, but I’ve been knee deep in my new business. What it has caused me to do is take a serious look at my sites and question whether or not I’m happy with the layouts. My blog, The Humanaught, was the first to suffer a stroke from my sword …Read More
For all those that missed the hoopla of the 2007 edition of the China Blog Awards, your chance to jump on the bandwagon has passed my friend. The awards are officially over. Chinalyst hosted the awards, with open voting during the month of July on any blog signed up in the Chinalyst system. The army …Read More
Anyone that reads this blog often enough knows that I’ve no love for censorship. I down-right loath it. Freedom of speech is the apex of [*hr*]. There is not a situation I can think of whereby I feel a person should have their ability to speak on any topic they desire taken away from them. …Read More
As I announced about a week and a half ago, the 2007 China Blog Awards are on. Well, as of July 1st, voting has begun. There is no panel of judges and no use of site stats to decide the winners. It is completely based on popularity in the community. Blogs are divided into six …Read More
Well, there’s been a secret little project brewing lately. fiLi and I have been conspiring to create the latest incarnation of the China Blog Awards. fiLi, as some may know, is the brains behind the Chinalyst, a community/aggregator for English-language China blogs. It seems that his site is therefore the perfect venue to get these …Read More
I was chillin’ out at the bottom of my blog when I noticed a little feature I had installed ages ago that shows me a post from that day a year previous. Well, imagine my surprise when the post is none other than the Lost Laowai inception announcement. Yep. My little baby is one year …Read More
I’ve just added a brand-spankin’-new feature to Lost Laowai – A China Jobs Board! And like most job boards, it features jobs. Neat eh? Though initially most jobs will very likely be of the ESL nature, it’s by no means limited to such, and all businesses looking for laowai to fill positions in their company …Read More
As many of you likely know, Lost Laowai runs a sister site, The Hao Hao Report. HHR is a social bookmarking site for all us sinophiles that just love reading blog posts and news about China. Essentially it works the same as other social bookmarking sites (digg, netscape, del.ico.us, etc.), whereby community members submit links …Read More
This is just going to be a few sentences long, but I was hoping people would check out the Manchurian Candidate’s website: www.kyle.cn It has a very interesting list of all the school killings that China has had (reported) since 2004. If you think the US is violent, check this list out.Read More
Just a quick note to say that Lost Laowai now has its own official group on Facebook. If you’re a member of the popular social networking site, be sure to join the group of fellow lost laowai! Come see who else is a member, put faces to names around the China blogsphere (yikes!), ask questions …Read More
UPDATE May 12/09: While this solution may still work, if you are in China for any length of time, we recommend getting yourself hooked up with a Virtual Private Network (VPN). For a super-fast and versatile solution, check out WiTopia. If their inexpensive yearly fee is too much for you, give the slightly slower (but …Read More
Living in China brings with it a number of occasions where most can do nothing but scratch their heads and say “WTF?” However, largely by the help of the English-language China blogsphere, we’ve started to create a dictionary that can assist in putting words to the weird, definitions to the disarray and captions to the …Read More
