What a crazy week it's been! =) A lot to do at work but we finally got a problem resolved today that we were having fore two weeks so that provides me with a great sense of relief, however my second tennis match was tonight and the short version is that I lost the match (1-6, 3-6). I was pretty excited to have been placed in the Singles slot for today's matches but knew going in that it would be tough, and well it looks like I've still got a lot of work ahead of me and lots of practicing! I want to become consistent enough that "being tired" is not an excuse. Although now I can no longer say that I am undefeated, only after the second match, I think it will help me find the drive to keep playing and improve. So as the phrase goes in Japanese, "Mada Mada...

I don't think I mentioned this before but I went to tryouts and joined the Aces Tennis team recently after moving to the Seattle area and Friday was my very first official USTA match! I played in the 2nd Doubles with my new friend Sergei as my partner and we won! Definitely looking forward to my next match, which might be as soon as next Friday.

Up until now, I've kept this site pretty much limited to just projects and work I had done, but that's really not too interesting, and it doesn't reflect me very accurately to include all of the non-computer related things I love and think about (and it's really hard to write about!). So here is to breaking this tradition for a beginning of a new era for this website. I will be posting more often but it will most likely not be just about software, games, or projects. So to begin, the past two weeks has been an amazing adventure for two of my favorite tennis players, Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer. And while that came to a very dramatic close yesterday in Melbourne, Australia, I had an adventure of my own, trying to keep up with all of the fantastic tennis matches being played halfway across the world, which meant...

Happy February, everyone! I can't believe the new year is already in full swing.
