DYLAN (offpanel): Mommy?
WHEN are we supposed to THAW Great-Grandpa?

MOMMY: When science figures out how to cure congestive heart failure.
DYLAN: My teacher said major strides have recently been made in heart research.
Does that mean we’ll be thawing him soon?

MOMMY: Well, think of it this way:
If things are looking up NOW, imagine how much BETTER they’ll be in ANOTHER fifty or hundred years! And wouldn’t Great-Grandpa want to see THAT future even more than ours?

DYLAN: You just don’t want to listen to him ooh and aah over the hover-toaster all day long.
MOMMY: He can be your grandkids’ problem.

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.
