Thankfully, the brilliant Ahmed Abbasi has a new paper forthcoming that illuminates the orthogonal testing plane problem and offers some guidelines for sidestepping the issue. So if...

Talking TaiwanTim Chng Documents the Overseas Taiwan Independence Movement on WikipediaA note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin: Tim Chng is one of the founders of ITASA (Intercollegiate Taiwanese American Students Association), and we've known each other since those college days. He is currently documenting the overseas Taiwan Independence Movement on Wikipedia. I thought I'd invite him onto Talking Taiwan to talk about some of the media attention that Taiwan's been getting lately, and the project he's started to document the contributions of WUFI (World United Formosans for Independence) and overseas Taiwanese to the fight for Taiwan's freedom and democracy.

The brothers discuss the challenges and opportunities that come with adapting a well-known or beloved book for the screen, and kick around a broad assortment of choices - some very famous, others a little more obscure.

The A.V.G. pilots called themselves 'Tiger Sharks' but it was not long before the admiring Chinese troops changed it to 'Flying Tigers' the tiger is regarded as a minor deity in some sections of China."

After 8 months of hiatus, Jhana, Oliver, and Brendan hop back on the microphones to shake off the rust. The guys got together this week to talk about Digital Piracy. Since Brendan is a musician, we thought he'd offer an interesting perspective on the modern state of affairs when it comes to piracy.

How seriously should we care about what the author of a work intends for us to think about their work itself? Should we base our interpretations of art on the ability of the artists to "accurately portray" their own experience? Does knowing more about what an author set out to do further our enjoyment of a work?
These are the questions the gang juggle as they discuss Roland Barthes' famous essay, The Death of the Author. Thanks again to Ted for another awesome listener email spurring our discussion!

In this episode, Jhana and Oliver step into Daniel Orozco's absurdly dark story The Orientation. As fresh employees (readers), Jhana and Oliver stand by the water cooler and discuss things such as the dichotomy between work and personal life, our obsession for rigid processes in the modern workplace, and the formation of arbitrary rules within social circles.
It's the first recording of the year for The Jacksway Collective. We recorded remotely this time for convenience sake and the audio quality takes a slight hit. Bear with us because the next episode...

are back at it again with Jonathan Glazer’s “Under the Skin.”
In this science fiction meets art house film, listen in as the gang muddles through thick Scottish accents, the often obtuse, and the visually stunning. The episode asks questions such as what it means to be and become a human being, why we have the desire for our main character to move towards that goal, and what the most messed up scene of the film was. (There were many).
Happy New Year from all of us (and if you’re...

Tolstoy is back in the Jacksway Collective's quest to find the story with the most possible suffering a human being can endure. Sarah, Brendan, Oliver, and Jhana dig into "God Sees the Truth, But Waits." During the episode they talk about holding on to one's faith and question whether or not truth ought to be the most fundamental virtue of our human experience.
The gang also reads their VERY FIRST LISTENER EMAIL. Ted from Vancouver asks us to clarify our views on blame, what it means to blame someone, and whether "brain...

Things get truly grotesque on this week's episode on Lynne Ramsay's We Need to Talk About Kevin. The gang opens up with a discussion on gene editing and whether or not that applies to our potential psychopath babies (yes, a Hitler discussion arises...).
After the intro discussion, Sarah, Jhana, Oliver, and Brendan talk about Kevin, motherhood, moral responsibility, the colour red, and the presence of the male penis in modern film.

The Jacksway Collective explore Ursula K. Le Guin's philosophical short story The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas.
Le Guin's story acts as a thought experiment asking the reader to imagine a perfectly content society and then turns it on its head once you find out that it's predicated on the endless suffering of a singular child. Can people live on in this society? Is this story an allegory for the west? How complicit are the people of Omelas in this story? These are the topics the guys cover in their...

This week's platter consists of Alfonso Cuarón's exquisite film Children of Men (2006). Jhana, Brendan, and Oliver speculate whether or not an ethical framework can exist in such a dystopian-like society. If so, what does that ethical framework look like? It's a juicy discussion cooked to perfection.
Oh, and Oliver may have been naked during the Google Hangout. But we'll never know.

In this week's episode, The Jacksway Collective take a massive leap in time going from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich to Harlan Ellison's I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream.
Within the discussion, Ellison's writing style is examined in it's relationship to the New Wave literary movement and other stories we've talked about on the podcast thus far. We also think about consciousness: How can we truly know who is conscious and who is not?

Today's episode is a return to the original duo of Jhana and Oli as they look deep into the abyss that is death and all that comes with it. Tolstoy offers us a lens into the inner life of Ivan Illych, a Russian lawyer who can't seem to come to grips with his impending doom.
The Death of Ivan Illych is a fascinating novella that leads the guys to discuss how it is we can empathize with the grieving, what kind of relationship we should have with death (both with ourselves...

After discussing important topics such as coming out to your parents as podcasters, the trio unpack what the story has to say about justice, punishment, and societal change. They do their best to interpret what the hell happened in the Penal Colony before this story takes place--all while bargaining to get Brendan a better microphone and a sponsorship deal for the podcast.

Many who have seen the pop culture hit "500 Days of Summer" are left enchanted by Zooey Deschanel's quirky, free-spirited character (who isn't?). In this episode, The Jacksway Collective breaks down the fascinating and controversial cinematic creature the: Manic Pixie Dream Girl.

Self-reflection and self-criticism is difficult. Often times, we find ourselves perusing through life without taking a step back and recognizing potential faults or areas where things went wrong. This concept is taken to its extreme in John Cheever's "The Swimmer." Oliver, Gordon, and Jhana weigh in on Ned's journey as he attempts to swim his way across the county and return home.
To start the discussion, Gordon asks whether or not Monogomy is still a valid form of organizing modern relationships. He puts forward a paper that suggests otherwise. What do these...

In the second episode, The Jacksway Collective adds its third member, Gordon, thus completing the trio of ex-roommates. Together, they break down Flannery O'Connor's short story Everything That Rises Must Converge.
The discussion ranges from race relations, essentialism vs existentialism, to feminist film theory (how they got there, who the hell knows). As you quickly find out, the three navigate all over the place when deconstructing the text at hand.
The three also briefly introduce themselves and figure out what it is they're exactly trying to do with this podcast...

In the pilot episode of The Jacksway Collective podcast, ex-roommates Oliver and Jhana put their humanities degrees to the test as they attempt to break down the first half of Albert Camus's The Myth of Sisyphus.
Listen as these two wrestle with the concept of absurdity inherent in existence and how to deal with that fact. What does it mean to face the absurd? Ought we commit suicide? Do Jhana and Oliver know anything about ANY of the other philosophers mentioned in this piece? (hint: no).

Five months/year he organizes tours in Portland and the rest of the time, he travels the world cooking with GrandmasI met Erik when we were both living in Chiang Mai, Thailand. It had to be CM, of course. The epicenter of small creative digital entrepreneurs. He told me that one day he asked himself that famous question, “If he had enough money to stop working, what would he do?”. And he realized he would travel the world to eat delicious food.
He noticed his most precious “eating and cultural” experiences had happened when grandmas were in charge. So he started a youtube channel called “cookin with grandmas” just for the fun of it, to share these experiences...

Tim is a relentless optimizer, and on his program, he interviews fascinating people to discover how they work, think, and get things done. It’s a show about the secrets of high performers.
