an interesting quote, i like they way they said it. If you want to play Go online, i suggest KGS. There are plenty of english speakers on there, whereas other servers like IGS are mostly japanese. Several people teach beginner lessons on there too.

also, i think the best intro page for the game is at http://playgo.to/interactive/

PS: forgot to mention…

I was flipping through a book written by Ronald Takaki (forget the title…a revistionist American history type book)…

he mentioned Thomas Jefferson…how essential in Jefferson’s mind land was to keeping people moral, on track, responsible, civic etc etc etc. But you know, land is more difficult to come by these days, esp living off the land.

And it dawned on me…staking a claim on ye olde internet is like homesteading, and might possibly serve the same function Jefferson saw land as serving. At least potentially.

Aha! I was checking out Go this weekend, too, except if there were any good online versions. I need to find someone in town to play the game with.

oh man, Go is the best game ever, bar none, but it took me forever to find a store that carried it.

you know how chess has sort of both left/right brain strategies working at once? in Go, the logical part is so trivial that almost ALL the action is in the emergent behavior over time, lots of strategy vs. less tactics.
