About
Gorgonzola Cheese was established in 2005 as a monthly tech editorial in The Pearl, Soka University of America’s student-run newspaper. It has evolved into its latest blog incarnation in early 2008 into a rather eclectic mix of covering tech and internet culture, gadgets, video games, toys, music, food, and more. It is written and maintained by Chester Ong.
Why “Gorgonzola Cheese?”
The name originated from an old doodle of Spider-man wearing gym shorts and sneakers with a word bubble saying “gorgonzola cheese!” This doodle was drawn in while daydreaming in a Japanese class and later discarded. When I had to think of a name for a newspaper column years later, I stumbled upon my old notebook and flipped through the pages of doodles and drunken monkeys. That drawing was so absurd that I knew it had to be the one. So even though I love cheeses (soft whites and Gruyere) this site unfortunately is not a Gorgonzola cheese fansite.
