We delight in the promise of falling for love.
We crumble in the dread of falling from love.
Everyone falls. Everything falls.

A year ago a major earthquake struck Sichuan, China. The HBO documentary China’s Unnatural Disaster: The Tears of Sichuan Province remembers the tragedy. The Shanghai Restoration Project also remembers those affected with a new album.
AFTERQUAKE is an album dedicated to the families affected by the Sichuan earthquakes. Produced by American folk artist Abigail Washburn and electronic artist The Shanghai Restoration Project in cooperation with Sichuan Quake Relief, the project remixes voices and sounds from the China earthquake zone to raise awareness for victims still in need.

Art Fong met Bill Hewlett in the mid 1940s. He was the 6th man hired at Hewlett-Packard and their first Asian-American engineer. He was the only Asian American in his technical team at the power company and in his Navy radar technology group. Through his long career in Silicon Valley, it was his skill in science and computers that drew attention, not his race. Art was the lead designer for so many microwave instruments that he became known as “Mr. Microwave” at HP.
