About me

Gender MALE
Location Bay Area, California
Introduction (uh-kee-no)

I run a Tumblr called Accidental Star Trek Cosplay. That blog is currently active. This blog is not. Its final post was published on December 1, 2017.

This blog began as a tie-in to AFOS (A Fistful of Soundtracks), an Internet radio station I ran from 2002 to 2016 (I archived some station content over at Mixcloud). The station streamed music from film and TV scores. At this blog, I discussed films, TV and music.

My writing has also appeared on Word Is Bond (byline: DJ AFOS) and Splitsider. In 2007, I came up with the premise for "Sampler," a short story in the 2009 New Press graphic novel Secret Identities: The Asian American Superhero Anthology (no relation to Image's Secret Identities).

AFOS also stands for All Frequencies Open, Sir! and Asians Fucking Owning Shit.
