In my ongoing attempts to understand my role in Brasil's opaque social script, I've decided to start learning
Xiangqi, or Chinese Chess. Initial observations include
- There is a whole lot more space than in International Chess
- It is crazy hard to figure out which pieces are which (all pieces are identified by characters, each team having slightly different ones)
- I cannot defeat the java program on "too easy" (i.e., the difficulty settings are relative and they are not scaled according to my abilities)

I read your blog!!! IT ROCKS!
In an attempt to "crowd in," or make the (my) blog appear more popular, and hence persuade others that it may be worth reading, I am adding this comment.
