Tonight I had dinner in Westwood with Brian and Heejin and their adorable daughter Hannah. I met them a few weeks ago on a flight to Chicago. Hannah and I played with a cute puppy during the flight, and had a great time. Tonight we met up at Mr. Noodle and had dessert at Diddy Riese. I decided that Hannah & Colin would make a perfect couple. Of course, Colin will have to move to Los Angeles from Hong Kong, but that’s a minor detail. Let the romance begin! You two turtle doves are betrothed!

Through Tyson, I’ve been lucky enough to meet a lot of great people in the Cubing community. None are more talented however, than Macky. We’ve been trying to get together for some time now, and he was nice enough to head out to the Hotel Careyfornia today before leaving for Math Camp for the summer, and then off to Princeton in the fall. (He turned down Cambridge and Harvard!) Over dinner we discussed everything from Game Theory to Phonetics. You might think that would make for dry dinner conversation, but quite the contrary. Macky has a unique way of making even the most black and white subjects explode with color. He makes you think about things in ways you never have. I always feel so energized after spending time with young people with such drive and intellect. It give me a hope for a better tomorrow in this country. Thanks Macky! I’m looking forward to watching the next few years unfold.
He was even nice enough to sign a cube for Daniel with his record solve time of 12.11 seconds.
