Writing/Editing Work

His questions were marked by a reliance on writing from memory, which led to typos and incorrect proper names for things appearing in his questions with depressing regularity. The theft of his laptop, and thus supposedly one third of the Walden Three questions, prevented the running of that tournament during 2008 Chicago Open weekend.
