This is a serious thing that happened in reality, and today I want to give you a way-too-detailed story of how things went down. Because the dancing I’m talking about is Dance Dance Revolution, and in 2006, I was named the “Overall Champion” of the “IDO Machine Dance World Cup” held in Oslo, Norway. No, instead, think dancing, but, like, the nerdiest way to do dancing. If your brain immediately envisioned me dancing something like the tango, thank you for your inflated vision of my abilities, but you’re unfortunately way off base.
See, here’s a totally-not-embarrassing picture of me in 2006 with the the trophy. With that context in mind, I figured I might as well start by writing up the best story I have to tell: how I won a dancing world championship. I’m not usually a New Year’s Resolution kind of guy, but this year I decided to make a single resolution: I want to write more, and to occasionally write about random things that spark my interest, and not just tech stuff.
