Today I messed around w/ chips in #Vietnam, from #geopolitics all the way to electronics workers becoming beauty parlour managers. Offering exploratory, critical frames.

This is part of my visiting scholar life at Fulbright Saigon.

Around me sticked lots of USAID signs, relicts of a different world

A somewhat broken USAID sticker on a tech gadgetPhone screenshot of a poster ad of my talk on Vietnam's semiconductor expansion at Fulbright University. A lovely picture of bald me on the top left, lots of text in the middle, and a newspaper photo of Jensen Huang on the bottom right, where he visited Hanoi and drank beer with the prime minister and chanted "Vietnam! Vietnam! VIETNAM!"
