i’ve casually looked at the game of go for a couple years, never getting further than saying “i’d like to learn that.” well, i’ve taken the leap and have started learning. i am by no means good, and i am very much a beginner. i am having fun though. i’ve found a few books to help with my learning.
- the way to go
- go basics
- teach yourself go
- learn to play go
- go for beginners
i hope that one or all of these will start me on the right path learning this game. i’ve also played a couple games on kgs and was very humbled. if you see me on kgs, ask me (legobuff) to play, but please realize i am new to this so do not expect a challenge.
over the last 4 nights, i’ve “slept” at most 8 hours, and here i am on night 5, still awake. i wrote the following haiku to put things in perspective. enjoy.
i can’t sleep again
bored looking at the ceiling
insomnia sucks
another quiz came across on one of my feeds… here is my result… what do you think?
The Big Fat <What Would Your Dream Job Be?> Quiz
Medical
Includes: pharmacist, doctor/ pediatrician, veterinarian, nurse, chiropractor/ massage therapist, dentist/ optometrist, psychologist
You are caring, dedicated, and an intellectual. Your negative traits may be your tendancy to over-work yourself, put career before family, or be unhumorous. You’d be perfect for a job in a medical career because you are interested in discoveries, have genuine interest in people, and can apply yourself.
after the boys went down, i started working on financial stuff. it wasn’t as bad as it sounds, but it got my brain working and now i am wired.
so i am goofing around with my new macbook pro and several downloaded programs. so far tonight i have played with marsedit, mainmenu, onyx, growl, ibank, and skitch. let me know if i should be goofing around with anything else.

this test came across one my feeds. i cannot decide if this is good or bad, but here is how i did.
Each year the American Lung Association hosts “Blow the Whistle on Asthma”. People all across the country participate in the walk to raise awareness and money for asthma research and education. This year’s walk will begin at 9:00am at the Chalco Hills Recreation Area in Omaha on Saturday, April 26th.
As a Respiratory therapist that is the wife and mother of asthmatics this issue is very important to me personally as well as professionally. My husband, Jamie is a life-long asthma sufferer and both of my sons, Guy 5½ and Kael 2½, have unfortunately followed in Daddy’s footsteps.
This is my 3rd year as Captain of Ambassadors for Asthma Awareness. With the help of Carmella, my Co-Caption, the first year we raised a little under $700. Last year we not only met our goal of $1000 but surpassed it by reaching almost half again that amount! With the amazing support we received last year we have set this year’s goal at $1500.
Each year we grow not only in financial support but also in team members. I am hoping that you will support us by joining our team, signing up to walk or simply making a tax-deductible donation. Raffle tickets are also available. The first drawing is for a Nintendo Wii, the second for two Midwest Airlines tickets.
Donations and checks should be made to the American Lung Association and can be sent to me or directly to ALA at 7101 Newport Ave, Suite 303, Omaha, NE 68152. Please, make a note that you are supporting Ambassadors for Asthma Awareness. For additional information on the walk or to make a donation online, you can visit their website at www.asthmawalk.org or go directly to my personal fundraising page.
Thank you for all of your help. I look forward to hearing from all of you soon.

The above was taken from here.
A fellow student sent this to me: The band, Five for Fighting, is generously donating $0.49 to Autism Speaks for *each time* the video is viewed. The funding goes toward research studies to help find a cure. When you have a moment, please visit the link above to watch the video and pass it along to your friends and family. They are aiming for 10,000 hits; but hopefully we can help them to surpass this goal.
i just took the sci-fi sound quiz. depending on how you look at it, i didn’t do so bad.
