So much discussion about US president Obama bowing to a foreign leader. I wonder how they ought to think of the King of Kings bowing...
Reminds me of the 3rd verse of the song “Power of the Cross” by Keith and Kristyn Getty:
Now the daylight flees;
Now the ground beneath
Quakes as its Maker bows His head.

I first discovered her some time while at Cal. I think it might have been reading through Brian Foo or someone's website on OCF, and there was a link to music they liked, which had a link to Laura Shigihara's OCF page.
It offered a lot of MP3 downloads, so at that time, I was like "Hey, this is cool, free music." So I downloaded all of the music on her page.
Today, while organizing my music library, I came across those MP3 files so long ago, so I decided to do a search on Laura Shigihara to see what she's up to these days. Her OCF page seems to be updated, and she also has a profile on Last.fm. She has a variety of genres of music, but mostly are video game style.
From Last.fm profile:
Graduating from UC Berkeley with a degree in International Relations and Business, Laura decided to pursue a career in music after an unexpected detour landed her record contract offers in Japan for singing and production. Although she didn’t accept for various reasons, she still chose a music related job working as the audio director of a Japanese-American company where she created music and sound effects, and co-hosted an audio talkshow. Shortly after she began composing for game soundtracks. After completing several contracts, she decided to make it her career.
She's pretty really good, considering that she has no professional training in music but just does it as a hobby (and now career).
I wonder what things people can accomplish if they dedicated their efforts and applied themselves to it.

Taken at the Yahoo office break room. Original post-it note commented that printing out a stack of flyers about water conservation defeats the purpose. |

"You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife or his male servant or his female servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor."
Thou Shalt Not Covet
Funny post-it note found on a Bible at church. A nice pocket-size, bonded leather Bible with button flap that has been in lost-and-found for weeks. |
