Calling B.S. - Bergstrom & West (Book Read Summer 2022)


I am a fan of data science books that can tie statistics concepts to real world events.  This was a great read, I will see if the class taught by these two professors at the University of Washington is available online.  (June/July 2022)

Back to Trail Racing


Pasadena Trail Race Series Summer 12K.  The course was two loops of trail run (one loop for 6K) on a mixture of fire road, sand, and rocky surfaces near the Pasadena Rose Bowl.  Runners have options to start at 5:30p, 6:30p, or 7:00p.  I picked the 5:30p wave, it wasn't too hot and the trail provided some shades throughout the run.  From 07/29/2022)

Retro Game Played - Super Mario Odyssey


Odyssey is the most recently released game that I played, the other games that I've played are mostly over 15 years old.  This was released in 2017, which is fairly recent.  The levels are beautifully designed, it's a far advancement from the NES version of Super Mario Bros. that I first played on the Famicom in Hong Kong way back in the mid 80s.  From July 2022.
