This is the kind of nerd I am. Fun is…

  • surfing the fidelity.com website and trying to see what index fund, etf, or mutual fund has the highest performance to expense ratio for the last 3 years.
  • playing microstakes ($0.10/$0.20) Omaha Pot Limit (hi only) and limping every single late position hand, regardless of the quality of my hand.  Just to learn how to steal.

It’s not that I’m a big nerd.  I am.  I just express it in weird ways.

Incidentally, this circle of friends also has a gift economy.  I just gave away a Harley jacket, motorcycle boots, and two helmets.  I just got, in return, a nearly new and clean futon and frame.  I also got a marketing researcher and a data analysis guru.

Bruce Sterling, your maneki niko story is made true today.
