What's Your Mother's Maiden Name?
That’s a pretty common security question. Others include your pet’s name, your high school, your dream car, your favorite band, etc.
Blogging, Twitter, Facebook, Last.fm and just about every service under the sun put the answers to these question’s at anyone’s finger tips. It doesn’t take more than a simple search.
I’ve started making all of my answers more...
Is it a Triple Play?
The Royals have bases loaded, no outs and the hitter is facing an 0-2 count. He pulls a surprise drag bunt but pops it up to the pitcher. The runners assume it is an infield fly and don’t run. The ball drops, the catcher picks it up, steps on home, throws to third, then to second. Triple Play?
this one hits a little close to home. i once bunted into a triple play…

The Mets have runners on first and second and Tim Teuful hits a shallow fly ball that both runners think will drop. The runners take off but Andre Dawson of the Cubs makes a shoestring catch and throws the ball to first base for an inning ending double play just as the runner from second crosses home plate. The Cubs realize that this run will count and that they need to appeal to second base....

Why Can't FriendFeed Compete With Techmeme?
FriendFeed aggregates many of the same sources as Techmeme— why can’t it take on Techmeme? I’m sure it has some sort of analytical function on the back end that could determine popular conversations and spin them out as a Techmeme or Hacker News style page.
The Biggest Downswing of My Life
I’m on the biggest downswing of my life, and if I didn’t donate everything to charity, I would probably be upset. Ok, I’m upset that I have less money to donate, but I know I’ll bounce back. Fortunately I don’t derive any income on this.
I’m down 24 buyins!
The downswing continues. Don’t get the wrong impression, I think I’m about 50/50 here, but...

I Don't Like Chess
Earlier today, I was asked why I don’t like chess. This post is a reblog of my answer.
Even though I’d probably be very good at it, I don’t find chess very appealing. I’m highly analytical, a great strategist, and I love game theory. All of these skills are required to be successful in backgammon, poker, and chess.
Chess is a game of perfect information. If you wanted to,...
WatchLet’s file this one under, “why would you do that?”
As a side note, I spend a lot of time watching online videos— to the point where I sometimes think I’ve finished the internet. It’s videos like this that make break.com one of my favorite websites.

Trust, Business, and Game Theory
Trust is the foundation of every business, but it’s often taken for granted. I buy from Amazon because I trust the delivery time, convenience, and quality of their service. I use Google to search the internet because I trust that it provides me with the most relevant results. I don’t actively think about the underlying trust when using these services— I expect it. The second that...
