Fail At Death Part 2

Today, I was clean­ing my room and came across the DVD of my sky­dive last year! Enjoy!

The video is so much bet­ter than the pic­tures. You can see the wind in my cheeks!

Any­way, sorry it’s taken me so long to upload this. I had some trou­ble get­ting the DVD to read on my desk­top, since it had got­ten scratched up a bit, and then it got lost in the shuf­fle of many moves’ worth of pack­ing and unpack­ing. When I finally man­aged to rip it today, I found out that Ren, my cam­era guy, included the videos for the five peo­ple that went before me, too. A cou­ple of them were cute! Too bad I wasn’t on the same jump as them.

There are just 10 days until this year’s death-​defying adven­ture! I can’t wait! Not sure how I’m doing to get video or pic­tures this time, though. I don’t know of offi­cial video ser­vices, so I’ll prob­a­bly have to bring my own and maybe Tim C and I can shoot each other.

Getting Lost In SF

So Thu H and I headed back to 580 Cal­i­for­nia for our 2:40 appoint­ment for induc­tion at the Jejune Insti­tute. Like I said before, it was a busy day for them. In fact, Sat­ur­day was sup­pos­edly the last day the induc­tion would be held, so there were six other peo­ple wait­ing in the recep­tion area for us to come back — they wanted to join us in the induc­tion! (We let them join us for the intro­duc­tion and agreed we would split up for the hunt portion.)

Be warned, the rest of this post details our adven­ture, com­plete with pho­tos. I don’t think I’m spoil­ing any­thing at this point since Act 1 has closed, but just in case you want to unof­fi­cially run the game, like some peo­ple are doing now.

Elementary My Dear Watson

My sis­ters sur­prised me at my new place yes­ter­day. They brought me some fam­ily pho­tos and some food and watched me work and unpack.

We also watched the IBM Chal­lege on Jeop­ardy. If you haven’t heard about it, IBM made a super­com­puter named Wat­son that parsed Jeop­ardy ques­tions in real-​time and com­peted against the two best human Jeop­ardy play­ers ever.

They played two games over three episodes, and there were a bunch of these back­ground videos inter­stitched into the episodes:

The whole time I saw these info videos, I was reminded of Asimov’s The Last Ques­tion. Can’t wait for Wat­son to answer that.

In the mean­time, Wat­son whupped ass, but I believe a rematch is in order. :)
