I'm learning how to read algebraic notation in chess, which doesn't really have anything to do with algebra.
This site has a lot of useful and interesting information, most importantly a huge database of chess games, old and new, some ongoing. One of note is
The World vs. Gert Jan Timmerman, which is currently in the endgame. The World has KRPP (King Rook Pawn Pawn) and Timmerman has KNPPP (N is for Knight). It isn't looking good for The World!
At work, I've moved to the Tiger Wii team. Finally, I can get rid of my PS3 devkit. I never wanted it in the first place.
