Oh yeah, Poker.
During my extended Thanksgiving vacation (I had some use em or lose em vacation days) I was hoping to make a nice score in a tourney.
I’m due. I’m so due.
I made it fairly deep into the 28K on Full Tilt, only to run out of steam just as I passed the money line. [...]

Linky Dinky Do
On the list of long overdue tasks, there is one less item.
I’ve updated my blogroll.
I know, I know – you are all wondering how I found time in my celebrity lifestyle to accomplish such a mundane task. Maybe I’ve hired a down on his luck programmer from India to take care of it, and [...]

Radio Free Mookie
I plunged into the internet airwaves yesterday with a guest spot on Buddy Dank Radio during the Mookie. Just as Radio Free Europe (which I’ve always found to be an odd title, since it gives the impression that there should be *no* radio shows in Europe) was a mouthpiece for the CIA, BuddyDank [...]

Not a Haiku. More Like a VegasKu.
Am I in? In I am.
Vegas in December.
I have no bankroll but I have friends.
Chips fall softly. Drinks are free.
My tenuous grasp on mental health is sorely in need of this.
Please don’t tilt me Iggy.

NanoMo Was Good
Ok – halfway through, I’m gonna say I ain’t going for that big ol’ 50K word target. It helped having my word-count-o-meter here on my site. I could easily see the effect of missing my day’s writing session. Between an intellectually demanding job (usually…) and continual efforts at sprucing up our new [...]

Disciplined Writing is Hard Stuff, Man.
My word count / pace keeper script is working nicely. I fixed a bug that caused it to miss a piece of information from time to time. Easy stuff. Not so easy is the writing, but the pace setter causes me enough anxiety to get up early out of bed and pound [...]

Weekend Update
Not so much of weekend surge with the NanoMo. I wrote some, but fall yard work and my continual attempts at home improvement (plumber’s putty rocks) took up a good amount of my time. I also indulged myself and watched the Pats squeak past the Colts. That was probably the only exciting [...]

NaNoMoWreeee Means NoMoPoka for Novembah
October was a good poker month, even if the bulk of my profits went to charity (I raised $1772 for Lymphoma/Leukemia society between donations and my Barry Greenstein project – thank you very much!) but I’m taking November off from poker. Kind of. I’m only going to play one tourney, and that will [...]
