Joseph Stover | Other Interests

Snowboarding and Rock Climbing are my two favorite outdoor activities. Generally I enjoy anything outdoors. I experiment with cooking often and have gotten pretty good at it. Music also fits in there somewhere. Composing various tunes and what not is something I do, and I have been in several different bands throughout my life.

I will keep adding photos and other various things to this page over time.

Sudoku:

Sudoku is also something I am interested in. Here is a presentation I gave on advanced solving methods: Advanced Sudoku Methods(16.5MB). Most of this talk was adapted from forum discussions at Sudoku.com.

Go | Baduk | Weiqi:

This is an ancient game, possibly the oldest in the world. It is typically played on a 19x19 grid with black and white stones. The goal is to control a majority of the board. For an excellent introduction to the rules, check out The Interactive Way to Go. This contains all the basic rules and some exercises to get you started. For playing online KGS is a nice server with lots of people of all levels. Sensei's Library has just about everything you could possibly want to know about the game.
