TKD Tournament

For the second part of the tournament, Jacen had to spar against an opponent.  He drew a boy who was older but shorter though faster.  The other boy scored 3 points quickly with rapid kicks to the chest, but then Jacen took advantage of his reach and connected twice to the head, worth 2 point each.  When time expired, Jacen was up 4 to 3 and won the match.

TKD Tournament

Jacen participated in his first TKD tournament last weekend.  In his first event, he worked the forms for the green belt.  He took first place in his division.

Smacked by probability

I'm taking Dan Boneh's online course on Cryptography, and today I got smacked down by his crash course review of discrete probability.  Painful what I can't remember.

SVN

There are few things in life that I hate more than working with source control systems.

And Jezzy gets the bone

When Ann and I went out for our anniversary date, we got an amazing steak at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. And we brought the bone home for our dog, who enthusiastically licked it clean.

Green Belt Testing (part 3)

Just in case you were still wondering, I'm happy to report that Jacen did indeed earn his green belt in Tae Kwon Do:
