Weight loss
So, I’m trying to lose weight I gained right after my son was born, since basically I’ve done a lot of not going anywhere for the last year (as opposed to my previous experience roaming like an urban billy goat on Capitol Hill).
So, I was tickled by this entry. I’m a Netflix-only guy right [...]

Nifty iPhone related article
This blog has some interesting posts about the iPhone. There are still layers to the onion yet of this newfangled device, things that people are unfolding as we go. This post is a reminder of that. Technology right now is changing as it unfolds before us. We interact with how it grows somewhat, but technology [...]

MindCamp5.0 Tickets purchased!
Hooray, I now have tickets for the next Mindcamp (overnight brain-fest)! Two tickets, one for me, and one for Terry. Adam probably already has his, and if he doesn’t, I’ll bug him to get on it.
I can’t wait! The last one was fun, but the overnight aspect of the one they did before [...]

2 stone game at Bob’s on Tuesday
So, instead of going to the SGC as planned, I instead diverted to Bob’s house for a game, and to check up on how his new internet service was doing. It was a beautiful sunny late afternoon, as you can see from the first set of pictures I took of the game. We [...]

Good shape and bad
Continuing my thoughts from the good shape question I posted here, I have some comments about three different approaches to the situation. For review, White making the simple connection between his groups at K5 is considered inefficient, and trades away short sighted security for diminished influence and reduced territory. What therefore is the [...]

link love and web 2.0 stuff
I just got done reading this post I found after hooking up a Technorati profile and selecting a couple of search words to pull some other relevant blogs up, the posting mentions that “Technorati is lame”, I think it’s perhaps a bit better than that, but there’s certainly lots of room for improvement to most [...]

Game night at Bob’s
Tonight I had a game with Bob with a three stone advantage, I played black and took these pictures at the midgame point I stopped to count: The left side is White’s perspective, the right side is Black’s. I counted at this point of the game and found I [...]

mash up link
Okay, while waiting for this work situation to die down, I was browsing reddit and found this great link: Interactive Go Maps. Because of my recent exposure to dangerous levels of free thinking, this seems particularly cool to see today.

Mind Camp
This has only peripherally to do with Go, but I spent over 10 hours in a community center in tukwila today at Mindcamp having an absolute ball. I was honored to have the chance to share some of my love of Go with several people there in an informal session in a lovely little fireside [...]
