Photography

Just a little something I shot a while back: photo of a goban I once saw being made.

You can click the picture and visit my Flickr album to see all my other photos. Not much more to report this time. I've been a bit busy with my kids having started their fall semester and all those other activities that go with it. I'll probably need to start planning for Miro's 5 year birthday parties too.

Oh, and I'm now established as 7 kyu EGF. Cool. It took a while, but I guess I can do better. Next step 6 kyu.

(Embedding images from Flickr is a pain, anyone know how to easily add them?)

Hello! A bit of status update...

A lot has happened between now and then, so I will shortly address something that was, what is, and what will be in this post.

Posting from school

Hello!

Looks like I haven't posted anything in a while. Maybe I should start doing so again, so here's an update.

Some interesting news

 Last summer I was eventually admitted to a school, and started studying in August. I'm to become a model builder/designer.

Guess who joined the ASR League again!

Yes! After an excruciating two months of not playing on the league (or even KGS for that matter) I decided it was time for me to join again.

Leather is sexy, especially with polka dots!

As I'm working as an intern in a little workshop that prints and binds calendars and presses many different things from many different materials I got an opportunity to use a silk press to print some leather gobans for the go club I plan to set up. Now all I need is some stones.

Playing go at the chess club, part 2

As I was given permission to show the game, I took three self-made practice boards with me and introduced a couple of people to the fascinating world of Go.

ASR League closed, Oulun kesä & Leo's demonstration game.

Yeah! The first month in the ASR League is now officially over!

I can finally take a breather...

Two busy weeks behind.

I simply hate it when I can't play. It is simply not fun. Well I did manage to have two small games when I visited my parents almost two weeks ago.

My first goban!

I finally got myself a real, concrete flippable 19x19 + 13x13 go-board! It took a while but I'm ecstatic, even if it's only plywood.

Back on track.

My small break didn't go to waste. I'm definitely feeling more serene now while playing, even when losing. I'm making progress now, and I even got commended today which feels pretty good.

I have a dream.

I'm going to play one game before I go to sleep. I came here to mention a blog post I wrote on my other blog where I try to tackle the motivational aspects of my life. I have a feeling that if I do not eventually do something to doing nothing I might end up, well, doing nothing for the rest of my life.
