[[A mustached man is playing a violin and singing.]]
Violinist: I have a lot of love for Christmas
Violinist: As holidays go, it’s supreme
Violinist: There’s pumpkins and chocolate and dogs on a leash
Violinist: All trapped in an old submarine

Violinist: I love all the smelling of food getting hot
Violinist: And ice drifting out of the sky
Violinist: As kind bearded men dandle children in malls
Violinist: In thrones secondhand from Versailles

Violinist: O Christmas, O Christmas
Violinist: We jump in a circle for thee
Violinist: From children… to people… to old men with a private scar
Violinist: Everybody is afraid of a scaaaa-ryyyy beeeeeeee

[[The man peers inside a window, conversing with a woman inside.]]
Violinist: Do you like my holiday song
Woman: Um, well, I prefer your earlier work
Woman: When you were not singing

Applications open for Genius Northwest – an IRL gaming competition

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.
