Japan 2007! (September 22, 2007)
Around March of 2007, I looked into a trip to Japan in hopes of seeing the first Formula 1 race at Fuji Speedway (it was previously held at
Suzuka, which, IMO, is a better track). I talked to Amy about going to Japan to see F1, and she was into it, but when I tried to buy the
F1 tickets, they were already sold out (no surprise). I suggested that we go there anyways. Now, the Formula 1 race was in September, and
it suddenly dawned on me that the Rebuild of Evangelion movie (1:0) was going to be in September, and suddenly I had a renewed enthusiasm
for making this trip happen. In truth, I really did nothing, Amy planned and bought the plane tickets and everything, all I did was contact
my friend in Nagoya to buy some Rebuild tickets.

China 2006 (September, 2006)
Around March of 2006, I was planning a trip and wanted it to revolve around an F1 race. I've heard a lot about
Japan's Sazuka Raceway so looked into getting race tickets for there, meeting up with my friend
Steve Shaw and Hiromi from Nagoya, and maybe spending a week or
so chillin out in Japan. Tickets for the race turned out to be too expensive and the shitty seats were the only
ones left, so... how about Shanghai?

The Auto Train (July 12, 2006)
On Sunday, July the 9th, I was wandering around Washington D.C. with Michelle and her brother, Michael, who was a native. We had an awesome
meal at a German restuarant and was walking toward Union Station in search for some kind of dessert for Michelle. As we stroll through
the station, Michael nonchalantly points out that instead of driving all the way down to Florida from D.C. the next day, I could take the
Amtrak's "Auto Train". Neither me nor Michelle had ever heard of such a thing,
where I can take a train somewhere and my car can come along. Michelle asks the desk attendant about it and he says it leaves daily at 4pm
and arrives in Sanford, FL, at 8:30am. Sanford is near Orlando, and a mere 2 hours from my final destination, Ocala. A little thrilled at
the prospect of not having to drive for 14 hours, I book a ticket. My experience on the Auto
Train.

France 2005 (December 16, 2005)
Just got back from my trip to France. I wanted to meet up with some Everquest buddies near Avignon, but never ended up getting a hold of them. I did however meet up with Mearis Slayerofcows in Milan. HERE is the link of the page that I updated daily which documented my trip. [UPDATE] We finally got around to opening up a bottle of that 98. We decanted it immediately and proceeded to have a few test glasses before finishing off the rest.

Monopoly (2004)
Slightly inebriated one night at Mark and Mel's back porch, our conversation swayed to the topic of the old board game
Monopoly. It was theorized that night, that certain spaces on the board had a statistically higher chance of
being landed on than others. This, of course, begs the question whether every space had a fixed probability of being
landed on. A brute force calculation of this lead to a very, very large factor of branching, and the conversation quickly
moved on to other things. So I am at home one evening and decided to try and figure this out, not by writing a program to
do all the branching (this is especially hard because of the Chance and Community Chest cards), but by
writing a simulation of a game of Monopoly. This simulation is simple: one person playing monopoly, takes turns, rolls dice, moves spaces. The spaces that are landed on are recorded. Chance and Community Chest cards are accounted for in the
movement. The results are far too long to put here, so I've put them HERE.
