Ben Shoemaker and Go. I first learned about Go when a friend of mine (Tait) showed me the game at some point in the year 2000. We played once a week for several months after that, but I haven't had any regular games since. In 2001, I moved from Southern California to Boston (I'm originally from Long Island, New York.)
I don't seem to have enough time to play face-to-face very often, but I play turn-by-turn online at the excellent Dragon Go Server: I seem to be about 20 kyu. I play computer opponents occasionally, and am working on my own Computer Go Program. At this point, it has 0 lines of code. I polled the computer-go mailing list with a ComputerGoLanguageQuestion and got some good responses. I have tried getting most of my friends to play go, but it has only stuck with a few of them. I have watched and read HikaruNoGo which I think is pretty cool. I think Sensei's is great and am glad to be a part of it. I have made a goban from a piece of abandoned plywood, but I am planning on making a HomeMadeFloorBoard. I think I'll try starting TeachingGame66.
