DAWN: Too late! Everyone’s talking about bank bailouts! The economy is a critical issue! We’re watching it very closely!

PAUL: All right, I think I finally have a grasp on all the shenanigans in the financial sector?
DAWN: Too late! Old news! Health care is the biggest problem facing our society since Dukakis rode a tank! Grave pronouncements are hitting the media at rates unseen since the Cuban missile crisis!

PAUL: It took a while, but I read the entire health care bill and I –
DAWN: Too late! We’ve moved on to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico! It’s so tragic it makes Hamlet look like 3-2-1 Contact! It’s the worst marine disaster since Noah’s flood! Everyone is very concerned! Brow-furrowing is at an all-time high!

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.
