Random Asian-American Christian connections (Part II) and Thought Pages

As many people, including myself, have observed before, thought pages are far from being a Stanford-only phonomenon.

I was surfing the pages of one Alexander Tsai, Harvard class of 1998, and a current grad student in economics somewhere in Canada.

Although we do have quite a few mutual connections, I've never met him personally. But thanks to his home page, I know that he was in HRAACF, lived in Currier House, went to London spring break, is from Louisiana, has a friend named Sushant, wrote his senior thesis on VC issues related to biotech companies, and has a lot of mutual friends/acquaintances with me. Anyways, the cool thing about Alex is that he just started his own thoughts page. Props to you, Alex!

He even mentions as inspiration Danny (which he thinks graduated from Andover!!) and Desiree's pages by name, even though he goes on to say he's never met them.

I would suggest you all go and read his page for a bit. The most interesting point that he suggests forming a group that would somehow tie all our disparate though pages together, but then he becomes somewhat disappointed at finding out that there are already groups for that.

Anyways, Alexander, if you read this web page, I agree wholeheartedly that we should band together! No man is an island, as they say. The thing is, those web rings, confederations, groupings, or whatever you want to call them, they're just too general purpose. We should focus on the common niche that we all occupy:

I propose we start a web-based association for Asian American Christians with thought pages.

Kind of like Gwen's (one of my acquantances which I did meet via the web, have emailed a couple of times, and actually had lunch together with, once) Nerdy Asian Network.

Indeed, perhaps we should resurrect it, same name and all, with this new purpose in mind -- indeed, we can have our own chat forums, or even a email list, a la fics-chat! Then again, we can just "chat" with each other thorough the media of our own web pages. How beautiful is the body of Christ.

I guesss I'll get to work on it sometime. Keep on checking my home page for updates!

Update your page, Gwen!
