I'm back from my trip with jmermin. It was a lot of fun, and I think I learned a bunch about Game Theory (although I'm still not certain whether or not I want to try to focus on it for my education). I took many pictures over the course of the week, including this movie of keyboard_monkey at the Baltimore Orioles stadium this past Saturday ( Read more... )

This is my report of the Magic tournament the_eleven and I went to on Sunday. It was 8 rounds and there's lots of stuff I can't remember, but since I'm about to leave for a week, it's now or never.
