I think that it is misleading to use the term “reading” in Baduk. Why? Let’s take what you’ve done so far in this article: You did not look at each sentence to see if each letter “i” was dotted. You did not look at the sentences forwards and backwards. You did not see if the […]
Excellent impressions of Gavin Newsom and Ron DeSantis in this short piece
I’m impressed with how Brent picked up on DeSantis’ manner of speaking – the pace, pitch and tendency to use certain forms of speech. As always the Gavin impressions are great and the punchlines are dead-on
How to decide on the next move as Black in this position?
I reached this position in a correspondence game: Now, as a student of the Clossius approach, my analysis went like so: Am I in trouble? No. Nothing of mine is being threatened for its life. Is the opponent in trouble? Sort of. The White group ‘A’ has an open skirt and after playing ’22, I […]

Do we need a revision to the Clossi approach to move selection?
I really like the Clossi approach to move selection. It gives me a non-emotional way to look at the Go board. However, I want to ask if there is a need for a revision in the approach based on this Go position from this game: so using the Clossi approach, the first question is ‘am […]

How I got into (and out of, and back into) Sivananda Yoga
My story is kind of similar to others. I wasnt exactly looking for Sivananda Yoga. Not exactly. I was doing hot yoga in Colorado but for some reason started listening to Indian chants and was wondering why the yoga studio I was at thought it was OK to play rock, pop, etc. After being fired […]

Yoga Lineages Descended from Sivananda
Sivananda Saraswati lived from 1887 – 1963. Sivananda can be considered one of two grandfathers of many modern yoga schools, with Krishnamacharya being the other. Numerous organizations have emerged from his teaching. The most famous is “Sivananda Yoga” developed by Swami Vishnudevananda. “Sivananda Yoga-Vedanta centers” might be the most widespread yoga system on Planet Earth. […]

Palm Beach Dharma Center (Dzogchen) Meditation Instructions

I searched the history of their site in the Wayback Machine and recovered some of their old gems on meditation. Our first tool for quieting the mind is meditation. One great master once likened the mind […]
Downgrades and Upgrades to the Rating of Pure Python Web Application Solutions
Rather than create a new blog post each time that a pure python web application is upgraded or downgraded, I figured one reverse-chronological post was better. 2022, Sept 9: Transcrypt is no longer a Class A Pure Python Web Application solution Transcrypt is fully-featured. It is well-documented. Through the years, responses to community questions have […]

Stay awake on the hane-connect or you may pay the price…
Not even a month had passed since mi3chaels said: any time you have multiple chains of stones in succession with <4 liberties on each chain between possible cutting points, any strong player is going to be looking for ways to exploit that, and both the hane and the double hane are standard ways to do […]
Is stretching in a hot room actually more effective long-term?
Someone asked about stretching in a hot room and after looking at the answers, I felt compelled to make a few points: “hot” is a relative term Different people consider different temperatures hot. When Bikram instituted hot yoga here, he was merely making the room similar to the normal temperature in India. “hot” here is […]
