Patrick (patio11) had a dream of working in Japan and a belief in a rational just world.

That dream and belief was shuttered when the reality of being an overworked gaijin for an uncaring zaibatsu settled in.

His ticket out proved not to be Bingo Card Creator directly but the articles he wrote on HN (and elsewhere) to boost the SEO for BCC.

Not knocking him in any way, I would probably be still stuck in Japan, falling asleep at late night metro every night.
