Redesign complete!

Yeah, my redesign skills involve installing a new theme and changing out the default images.
It is worth noting that there is more than just the Porsche picture, there are 3 rotating backgrounds. Hopefully everyone will get a kick out of them.
The bad news is, I didn’t have any super high res pictures of my [...]

Ugly website

I have been thinking that this blog of mine is awfully ugly. So to correct that problem, I am just going to start posting pictures of my wife here, that way it will be beau T full.
Or, uh, I could actually go steal a word press template that doesn’t suck. Maybe I will [...]

Future Eulogy

I would love to write a eulogy after the passing of my father, but it will be a long time before I can focus my energy on such a task.
Sorry father, no disrespect, but keyboards don’t work well when soaked in tears.

Goals

I have struggled to figure out what I want to do with my life. I have given it a lot of thought, and other then the abstract “become independently wealthy” I have failed to find a life goal.
So I must be playing the wrong game. Maybe a life goal is not what I [...]

Happy

I have noticed that I am much happier in general now then I can ever remember being. Two major contributions are obviously my enjoyment of work and my completion of my degree.

Soft size is not hard size

The title says it all. What I have learned today, is that soft size is not hard size.

I only spent about 10 minutes reading the pertinent information in the book. Did I only spend 10 minutes on [...]

101 Days until Cancun

And I am fat.
Not obese, but I have more body fat than I would like if I am going to chasing bikini clad women around a Mexican beach this summer.
So my long term plan:
Decrease binging eating and drinking. The only problem I really have with this, during non-holiday events, is going out [...]

Origin of QBrain

When I was coming up with the name of my blog, I was also trying to come up with a poker handle. Something generic, but still meaningful.
Quinn’s Brain is an obvious choice for a blog, but it needed to be morphed into something appropriate for online poker play.
When I thought of QBrain, a memory [...]

Half a million dollars in 10 years

I was wondering what it would take to go from $0 to $1 million in 5 years today. As exciting as writing the recurrence relation and a short program to solve it, the answer wasn’t all that useful. So I decided to plug in some more realistic numbers for the general population, a [...]
