JEREMY: No bike rack? Let’s lock to the meter I guess.
JEMIMA: People can lift the bikes OVER the meter.
JEREMY: We’ll just have to make sure it’s tight. I’ll use my U-bolt too.

[[There is now a U-bolt securing both bikes to the meter, but they’re not done yet.]]
JEMIMA: Make sure you thread it through the front wheel.
JEREMY: Should we take the wheels with us?
JEMIMA: I guess we could at least take the seats.

[[Four U-bolts now secure both bikes to the meter.]]
JEREMY: What do you think? Are we SECURE?

[[JEREMY and JEMIMA sit at a table outside a restaurant. The table is about five feet away from the bikes.]]

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!
