    Holy crap! When I watched that Krispy Kreme video and you said you were in Houston, TX, the first thing I thought about was this forum. That is before I saw this thread. And then I browse in here and see this thread, is epic. I can't believe your a member on here. Keep up the videos man!

    CFers, just to give you an update: it has been a magical ride for me for the past month and half. I've never thought this would get this big.

    I again want to thank you for your support and ideas. It was your idea that led to Reddit, which blew up my blog, which led to Yahoo frontpage, which led to TV appearances. A major business magazine will write a story about my journey next week.

    As for my journey, I am currently on my 39th day, and I am doing something fun everyday. One of my challenges in the future will be Rockets-related. I might ask to play 1x1 ball with either Jeremy Lin or James Harden... Probably Lin since he does turn the ball over once in a while, and I might have a chance to score once, if that were to happen.

    As for where it will lead in the future, I really don't know. A few companies/conferences are interested in me speaking, and we will see if that's the direction I want to go. I will keep you posted.

    PS. Thanks to Yao, I joined CF 10 years ago. Although he retired, I never left and you can never call me a YOF. I never would have thought I can launch a blog based on something that happened here.

    Keep up the good work. Damn, you joined bc of Yao and that was 10 years ago? Time freakin flies. It's great that this phase of your life is getting documented in so many ways.

    You taking requests?

    Go to a chick-fil-a and order a meal. Once done, ask for 5 cups of coke to-go as a refill. :)

    I want to keep sharing my journey with you until I complete it. I would love to get your feedbacks and ideas. If a lot of you don't like it, let me know and I will stop sharing here. I don't want to annoy people.

    Day 12 - I met with Jackie again

    Awesome reunion with Jackie and congratz on all the success with your project! Like someone else said, I can't believe it's been 10 years since Yao joined the Rockets.

    Yep, multiple newspaper/magazine interviews. But they've never printed them, which was very disappointing. :(

    Looks like this thread has been mostly abandoned, but I just happened to come across this video and wanted to share it.

    He got invited to do a TED Talk. How cool is that?
