Pop Wuping is written and produced by Clark MacLeod. I currently call Taiwan and the airports of Asia my home.

Like most of my weblogs I started Pop Wuping primarily as a personal reference tool and as a means to share my interest in mobility amongst colleagues and friends. I try to write as much original material as possible but see myself as more of a curator and convener than as a writer. Topics presented here surround the broad notion of the culture of mobility including: travel, design, web & tech, creativity & art, and working on the web, at home, or abroad. I'm interested in mobility as a way of life, it's ideals, values, or rules, and what people think, what they do, and the material products they produce.

In a review Josh Spear described my weblog more succinctly:

Taiwan resident Clark MacLeod’s personal posts on Pop Wuping (we’re saying that three times fast in our mind) fall into the category of blogging we really appreciate. You’d expect a guy who lives in a manufacturing epicenter to have the inside scoop…and you’d be right. Right now his blog is a scattered, but well edited, round up of all-things travel related. Messenger bags and laptop cases seem to be the soup de jour over there, but MacLeod also puts up the occasional travel tip like Don’t eat street meat. Sounds like solid advice to us.

When I'm not editing Pop Wuping I am with my family, in my studio, traveling, or working at the Creativity Lab in the Industrial Technology Research Institute where my current focus is the investigation of collaborative systems for research.
