StrangeTango.com is a multilayered art installation in cyberspace…the documentation of a life in three iterations: as a film treatment, a book, a blog.

“What remains as documentation of a life?” Strange Tango haunts the boundaries of digital streams and visceral storytelling, where pixels and dreams flow together.

Video, reportage, and nonlinear narrative meld in captured moments from the life of A. D. Tejada, artist - traveler - citizen of the world.

Life is a strange tango...

Neo-Zen simplicity is Strange Tango's style.

New Age Traveler

Moulton Brown's New Age Traveler kit

New Age Traveler is an excerpt from Millennium Muse, my book of narrative nonfiction, essays, and observations.      

        My favorite travel agent booked me for automatic electronic upgrades to first class, so on two round trip legs between Manchester, New Hampshire, and Chicago, air travel was sheer bliss. On the second [...]

It’s a Multimedia, Multiplatform World

The Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA) convention in Boston, August 2009.

I was present when multimedia began to take over the world. Around 1994, interactive multimedia and internet technologies—new media—made its way into higher education. One of the first journalism schools to teach classes in this emergent field was the Boston University College of Communication.

Diet and Fitness Plan

Today is rainy and overcast—my favorite kind of day—that reminds me of the English countryside wet with dew in the early morning. Luckily, we’ll have rainy and overcast days throughout much of this week, and I can just stay indoors and exercise.

I’ve received a request for secrets to my fitness and diet routine:

“Your exercise/eating advice [...]

Spa Cuisine

simple yet intense flavors

 

One of my dreams has been to write and produce coffee-table books on cooking and entertaining. My preferred entertaining styles are global/authentic/eclectic and neo-Zen. Friends have asked me if I own a restaurant and have suggested I apply for The Next Food Network Star.

I’ve received a request for vegetarian dishes and, being [...]
