3 minutes in Shanghai

Here's the show for today.Burger King has come to Shanghai. The first mainland China branch of the fast food giant is now open, or so I hear. I've seen the big burger, held aloft by crane near the Jing An Temple, but I haven't been inside the restaurant. I'm looking forward to it, but I rarely stop by that part of time. Passing it on the gao jia is about as close as I usually get.This new expansion is bringing out some of the same criticisms of Western imperialist dogs pushing their crass, junk-food

This is Episode two - Shanghai's weatherHere's a quick rundown on recent meteorological activity in Shanghai. It's just about as fascinating a talk as it sounds like it might be. There are more interesting topics, to be sure, but I'm trying to get into a groove here, so give me a break.Levels are a bit better this time, but still kind of low. I'm sure I'll get it right next time.tek.

Here's the show!It's just an introduction to the concept, and to your host, Tek. That's me. My full name is Tee Lek D. Ying, but most people call me 'Tek', a nickname I've had since way back in elementary school.I'm under the impression that there are serious sound level problems with this first episode that I'll try to resolve in my second episode. If you're using iTunes, it should automatically correct the levels so the show is audible; if not, just turn your speakers up REALLY LOUD.Let me know

We're almost there. I need to finish writing a bit, decide what links to include, and actually record a show, but the framework now exists. We've got a blog, we've got a bunch of feeds, and we've got some free hosting. It's not the cleanest or most beautiful website in the world, but I think it's the beginning of something that might work. Cross your fingers.tek.

Here's a test post.
