Someday the Icehounds will win a game. I don’t know if that will be a season during which I’m actually on the team, but it will be someday. It can’t be possible to lose forever, can it? If hockey is like life, please don’t answer that question because I don’t want to hear it.

I have a public blog face. It’s that censored writing style that I normally wouldn’t have with friends but that is necessary when your potential audience is the whole world. While it would be flattering for about ten seconds to be that important, I know I couldn’t handle the pressure, as I can’t even deal [...]
What are some warning signs that you shouldn’t online date? When someone on the site mails you and says “What are you doing on this thing?” When your friends start forwarding you matches they so thoughtfully found for you by doing keyword searches on “hockey” and “beard”? When only 50 year old men respond to [...]
Came in from a rainy Thursday
On the avenue

Still I can’t escape the ghost of you
What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some’d say

Pride will tear us both apart
Well now pride’s [...]
Even our hockey team is a bunch of geeks. I saw them using this thing during the round 1 playoffs. Only on a team from Silicon Valley would this fly. According to an insightful non-hockey-playing friend, St. Louis wasn’t using it because they were still adapting to their new technology in Missouri — running water.

Last week we were up at the Murieta Equine Complex, involved in that strange pastime we call horse showing. The tumbleweed and hay fever town of Rancho Murieta is about 130 miles northeast of where I live in the SF bay, and is a little known destination to even the natives, who would never venture [...]
Statistics at Cañada College, Redwood City, summer of 2002
Professor: So using the RAND function on my calculator, I get the number 8.
Student: [Raises hand] I got a different number.
Professor: Yes, that’s because it’s a random function.
Student: But I don’t understand why my number is different from yours.
Professor: [Snappy] That’s because the little man in your [...]
Too much wine at work. Going home now. I have to say the Valduero Crianza was good, if you’re interested in a Spanish red.
On my ride down from the 10th floor today at noon, two guys got on at the 8th floor and were speculating wildly about the playoff schedule for round 2. Funny you should mention that, I almost said, I was just avoiding work ten minutes earlier by reading the playoff coverage at ESPN.com. I wanted [...]
