A Night Out Against Crime
By Ophelia Chong
July 23, 2009
I wrote about Ruth Sandoval a while back in a post about neighborhood sustainability. Her family owned Pupusa booth at the Atwater Farmers' Market is just a weekend job, her day job is the property manager of WinnResidental. Ruth always looks amazing even when it's 90˚ outside and she's flipping steaming hot pupusas to the long line at her booth, besides her family business, her first love is community building.
No... really?

The traffic to gossip blogs attest to the public's appetite for tidbits on the "realness" of their idols. The speed that it flows beats the time it takes you to text it to your friend, or even yet the time it takes you to pick up the phone (I thought I would throw in that quaint "old timey" way of communication).
Job Interview: Sonia Sotomayor
By Ophelia Chong
July 13, 2009
Today I will be posting my thoughts on the Sotomayor Hearing. As I am watching it now, I am reminded of my interview experiences, of course my experience is nothing like Judge Sotomayor's, but what if...in a parallel universe, someone named Sonia is going to an interview today somewhere.
"Hi Sonia, may we call you Sonia? Thanks for coming in today...Great great, have a seat, we went over your resume and it's amazing. We just have a few questions for you, this position has been a bear to fill. We've Googled you, checked your Facebook page, your tweets and looked into every corner of your professional and personal life...now let's start your interview."
