See Spreadsheeting for a list of spreadsheets. For a list of reffed tournaments, see my osu! entry under Achievements.

(As part of the Northern Nevada RAVE Family Foundation.) Helped take care of children with special needs for four hours, playing with them and keeping them out of trouble. 

By far one of the most challenging and insightful volunteer experiences I've had. There was often a communication barrier that was difficult to overcome - sometimes I wouldn't understand what they wanted, their emotions would flip upon a light breeze, or my instructions would go unnoticed. Patience rewards all, though, and while I wouldn't ever want to go into early education, it certainly went a long way towards my appreciation of simple, effective language.
