CAPTION: THE ADVENTURES OF SANTA’S OLDER BROTHER, BILL (Part 1)

Santa’s older brother Bill wears a natty vest. He is clean-shaven and a bit stern looking. He is standing in a nicely appointed home — neat, but not ostentatious. He speaks into the distance, as if narrating to an unseen audience.

BILL: You know, I’m happy he’s found a line of work he believes in…

BILL: Seems a lot of work to ME, but we all make our own choices as to the way we want to spend our life

BILL: Me, I work for a think tank tracking the growth of foreign petrodollars in Silicon Valley venture capital funds

BILL: Our dad could never really quite grasp what EITHER of us did for a living

I wish he had lived to see me get quoted in an article in Inc. magazine.

Applications open for Genius Northwest – an IRL gaming competition

May 8, 2026 by David Malki !

Last year, I participated in Genius Northwest, a gaming competition inspired by the Korean gameshow The Genius and its ilk.

It’s a reality show without the cameras — a 3-day, all-inclusive weekend retreat structured around a series of challenges and puzzles, in which personalities and dealmaking matter as much as playing games.

It’s truly a remarkable thing. I came in dead last in the competition, but I still had a great time participating.

The event is held annually in the Pacific Northwest (hence the name) and applications are now open to participate in the 2026 competition!

Learn more — and apply — at GeniusNW.com.
