Today’s Shuffler: Ernie Hsiung
Ernie Hsiung is the creator of 8Asians.com, a collaborative blog of different people of Asian descent with a decidedly western point of view. But before he created 8Asians last year, Ernie’s been writing in his award-winning blog, littleyellowdifferent.com for over seven years. Some of his blog has been featured in publications such as USA Today, The Advocate, Genre and some of his adventures have been chronicled in a book, humbly called “The Very Best Weblog Writing Ever By Anyone Anywhere In The Whole Wide World, Vol. 1.” Digging for other things on Ernie, we come across the following notes from friends, written as blog comments:
Ernie is warm, funny, neurotic, adventurous, geeky, shortish, yellowish, and gay. You’d definitely go with him to get coffee, but be forewarned: he doesn’t hold his alcohol well. One drink and he’s on the floor.
Through the six or so years Little, Yellow, Different has been around, Ernie has bared a considerable portion of his soul and the intimate lives of his friends and especially his family. See that haunted look in the photo above? There’s a history behind that face, and the archives are peppered with his triumphs, defeats, highs and lows. It’s one thing to bare your soul; quite another to put all the blood on display for all to see.
Over the last six years, Ernie has taken periodic breaks from his blog to reevaluate his place in the universe or lick his wounds after the latest trauma has passed. The universe has always welcomed him back with open arms because he’s worth the wait.
