Wii Fit Age
January 8th, 2009Yesterday’s body test announced my wii fit age is 20 years 
. Impressive! I felt really good…
But then a message appeared:
That’s a difference of -7 years. That would mean that your body is still in relatively good condition.
Should I be happy? I certainly felt this was not the message I deserved.. But anyway, this measure is a bit random, and two days ago I was 35 (with a nicer message!)
Catching up
January 5th, 2009Merry Christmas!
December 24th, 2008Monty Python has a YouTube channel
November 19th, 2008I’ve just read in Blogoscope that Monty Python has their own YouTube channel! See http://www.youtube.com/MontyPython
“For 3 years you YouTubers have been ripping us off, taking tens of thousands of our videos and putting them on YouTube. Now the tables are turned. It’s time for us to take matters into our own hands…”
Two of my favourite scenes:
Always Look On The Bright Side of Life

I’m finally a SDK!
November 7th, 2008After four and a half years I am finally a SDK! (Single Digit Kyu, see http://www.emptytriangle.com/archive/39). I know I have a long way to go in order to be shodan, but I can’t avoid feeling so proud for hitting the 10k barrier!
I got stuck at 12k for a long time, without playing all the games in tournaments and feeling very stressed, but this year it has been very different:
- February: didn’t play Barcelona’s tournament, but got interested in the game again
- March: played 4 out of 6 rounds in Paris’ tournament; lost all of them and went back to 12k
- April: played Madrid’s tournament; 3 wins and 2 losses, getting back on track…
- July: European Go Congress (EGC) in Sweden; outstanding result! 5 wins! went up to 10k
- September: Korean Ambassador Cup in Alicante; 3 wins out of 5, but enough to break the barrier and reach 9k!
- October: 1st World Mind Sports Games (WMSG); +123 points! 8k!
Thank you to all the people who supported me! I am back on my feet and wanting to test my strength against all of you! Let’s play Go!
Give me five!

Welcome to Beijing!
October 5th, 2008I will spend the next two weeks in Beijing: the first one sightseeing and the second one competing at the 1st World Mind Sport Games!
So far, the flight was ok and I arrived safetly at Beijing. However, arriving to the hotel proved to be much more difficult. Language is a real issue, specially when people don’t even understand the maps! If the map doesn’t have the names written with Chinese characters, the chance of a taxi driver understanding it is almost 0
Anyway, after eating ramen in a Japanese restaurant I feel much happier and ready for the adventure 
Wish me luck!
