"That's what happens when you loot." (.wmv file) No, that's what happens when your C.O. is off taking a nap somewhere.

My next vacation will be to Clearfield, Pennsylvania. Mmm. Six pound burger.

There's a chess tournament in Taipei this weekend: starts Sunday morning at 8:30AM, at Taiwan National University (Tai Da). The tournament is open to everyone, but only Taiwanese can qualify to represent Taiwan at the Chess Olympics in Spain. I am pushing Alishan Jim to go try out- he's Australian by birth and one of the first foreigners to actually obtain Taiwan citizenship. The organizers would flip and Jim absolutely thrives on this kind of thing. Unfortunately, nobody is going to win a serious tournament playing the English opening. I would go myself, but tournament chess is hard enough as it is- an early Sunday morning start time would kill me.
