This is not a man with a blog.
I’ve been seeing these rumors about screwups at the World Series all over the place for days, but today one of my favorite poker writers just let them all out in a rant. Conveniently they’re in one place so I can just link to them and if you’re interested, you can read them. In short,…
Check out Sen. Stevens awkward description of the Internet set to a dance beat [MP3].
Last night Sarah said to me, "Are you excited? You’ll be in Vegas soon." Actually, it hadn’t really hit me that I’m headed to the World Series to play my baby event, the $1,000 2 day No Limit Hold’em event. I am a little excited now that I’m starting to look at the results. The…
The Big Game is proving to be my first time becoming a regular at a local cardroom. Possibly because this is one of the first times I’ve had a local cardroom! I hit the Big Game with two coworkers and a friend of a friend. One friend was definately on the prowl for chicks as…
Although I just teased one of my colleagues about his addiction to video game collecting, I’m no better. I live in a house full of spare computer parts and a bunch of comics. I’ve resisted the urge to buy individual issues of comics, but I buy the compilation trade paperbacks. I’ve found that I’m pretty…
I’m in California for a few days to do a little business and see Sarah’s 90+ year old grandmother. Fortuitously, Sarah’s grandmother lives about 15 minutes from legendary California Casino Bay 101.

I hit the Big Game last night for a 5 hour stint and brought along two guys: my old poker buddy Chris and a coworker Chad who works at one of our office outside DC. Despite some drama last week involving a Big Game employee skipping town and some missing money, the game went off…
I frequent the new comic book store in Tenleytown, Fantom Comics, next to the Container Store and the Best Buy. The owner is starting to know my tastes, and his recommendations are increasingly accurate. His latest recommendation is "DMZ", from Vertigo. Knowing my love of post-apocalyptic earth, I suppose you’re not surprised to find out…
I’ve been at a plateau for a while in my poker career. I felt I just couldn’t get past a certain level of play, and the only way I could get any better was to play a very tight game, and even then I felt like I was being slung around by the statistics of…
Today I was listening to someone do a reference call for a product I’m considering purchasing. He said, "I really appreciate the experience that upper management brings to the company." Honestly, that the biggest load of bullshit I’ve heard all week. It’s such a nothing phrase. That’s like saying, "I really appreciate that the fireman…
