Favorite Go Game Story

I was explaining a game outdoors in Palo Alto for 50 players. This software business had recently acquired another local company, and many players were meeting for the first time. A random computer scientist happened to be enjoying his unemployment by reading in the park. When he saw a group of people standing in a circle, he came over to see what was going on. He caught just enough of the explanation to get interested, and when I numbered off teams, I unknowingly included him in with everyone else. He figured "what the heck?" and played along for a good 15 minutes, until his team got to some company specific trivia. at which point in time he realized he was participating in a corporate event. The punch line? He apologized, left his business card, and got hired the next week!

ALWAYS WITH ME

Big headphones (peace and quiet on the airplane), Verizon data card, three books, my running shoes, and a sense of adventure.

FAVORITE AIRPORT

Cedar City, UT. They have a panoramic view of the mountains from the lobby, and the speed of the security line can't be beat!

THINGS I'M OBSESSED WITH

My frequent flier programs.
