Yesterday the news was reporting the results of Obama's physical, and they mentioned that he's 48 years old. I'm going to be older than the President at the end of this month.

Two years ago I played in a tennis league where I was placed in Flight A. (This was right five years ago; now, it's not so clear.) Since setting a goal of making the playoffs wasn't at all realistic, I decided my goal should be to not finish below anyone older than me. Then I looked more closely at the 20 names and figured out that I was the oldest.

So you reached your goal. Well done.

Makes me feel old to see how new generations play videogames.

I always though I would be able to play shoot'em games with my children and maybe even grandchildren, what I didn't thought of was that keyboard+mouse would be so obsolete by the time I had one.

A quick example, I suck at wii games, and here you see a teenager speed-making trauma_center. I cannot pass the third stage and he...
