A LAN party?

Adam and his friends introduced us to a new phenomenon (well, new to us at least). He and 3 of his friends have congregated in our basement with their computers, monitors, power cables,  and a local area network (LAN) switch for the weekend. Once connected through this switch, they all play a video game together just as if they were in separate locations.

Probably makes sense if you like to interact virtually with people even though they're sitting right next to you. I guess it would be like me texting Wendy to ask if she could pass the pepper. Fun to do once, just because you can, but I don't see any practical value in it myself. Maybe I am not as much of a geek as I thought I was...

Selfie time!

OK, I don't really like taking selfie pictures, but I just had to do it today.  It was one of those ironic moments where the selfie made some sense.

Dundas Mahjong tournament

This afternoon it was games night at our house (not a routine event, but Wendy would like it to be). We decided to play Mahjong. Stanley didn't know how to play, so we taught him the game. What the game gods are probably chucking over is the fact that Stanley is the only one in the house from China (Guangzhou).

Next trick?  Maybe we could introduce him to dim sum...
