Welcome to the blog of James Lao—that’s me. Here you can find the more interesting parts of my life along with occasional satirical commentary and random thoughts.

If you’ve come here for answers, you probably won’t find them here, but who knows? You might get lucky. All you’ll find here are my thoughts and my story. Hopefully you’ll stay awhile.

When I have a hard problem and feel discouraged, I tell myself "James, this isn't the hardest problem you'll ever solve. Get to it." 6 hrs ago

MOVITS!

I bet you’ve always wondered what you get when you mix swing with hip-hop beats and lay rapid-fire Swedish rap on top. Yeah, me too. MOVITS! finished off their US tour by performing at CMU. They hail from Luleå, Sweden and received much deserved attention in the US after performing on the Colbert Report. The lyrics are in Swedish but it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand them. They’re fresh and exciting and the beats will keep your toe tapping. Highly recommended.
