I just got off the phone with the Indian kid's father, who owns the business I referred to in my last entry. The man sounds quite serious in trying to recruit me. He gave me a more detailed explanation of his business, and directed me to his website for additional information and presentations. The slightly vague description is that it is an ( Read more... )

I went to Menlo Park Game World on Wednesday, August 19 for what was going to be a typical session of ITG. As I completed my session and was about to leave the arcade, an Indian/some other South Asian nationality guy (who looked to be a college student... I'm keeping his name confidential for now) approached me and started what appeared to be a ( Read more... )

I have 6667 reasons to hate my housing assignment for next year.

I had to leave around 5:30-5:45ish pm for my 7:59 pm flight out of Raleigh. I felt really, really, really, really, really bad about the situation, since this would have forced someone to take two hours or more out of possibly the rest of the ITG tournament to drive me to the airport. After talking with JBoy and the rest of the staff, I still couldn ( Read more... )

I'm on the same flight to Rocky Mount as JDongs. Neither of us knew that when we purchased our tickets.

I played real golf for the first time today. I was planning on going to a course, hoping they would let me in while wearing some random wardrobe, and let me play with a rented set of clubs, balls, etc. for an affordable price.
