Boy, I've been slacking with this blog. It always seems that there's something more important to do. So I don't end up posting more than the odd bit of news. So what have I been up to? Well aside from working on the technology behind our bot in the upcoming man-machine poker match, I've been trying to spend some time with Diane planning out our wedding next June, and planning stuff to do in Vancouver after AAAI is over. If anyone has any suggestions for what we should do in Vancouver, we'd appreciate it. We've got about 6 days or so after AAAI is over to spend doing various touristy things. There has also been a fair amount of social activity over the past several days. Curtis' free beer was Monday night -- it was good times! My dad's work golf tournament was on Saturday so I went with him to that. Company golf tournaments are a lot of fun. You get a golf cart to go wheeling around in and afterwards you get steak dinner (erm... lunch). After 18 holes though, I was pretty beat. Nonetheless, I ventured over to Curtis' place where we played some board games.

Last Sunday was Father's day, so I took the fam out for dinner. My dad chose a new Chinese restaurant that opened up that weekend. The name of the place was, no joke, Wok and Roll. Yup, I can hear your groans too. It sounds even funnier if you say it in a Chinese accent and turn Roll into Woll. Say it to yourself ... yup, pure gold.

So that's a little review of some of the stuff I've been up to. I'm really sorry I haven't been posting here quite so regularly -- hopefully I can do a whole lot better now. You can definitely look forward to my blog posts from Vancouver!
