Anyone else having problems with Yahoo mail more recently? It seems like a bad idea for Yahoo to not be on the top of their game right now. And am I alone in thinking that their new mail Beta is just too damn slow? Shaun mentioned they should be using comet instead [...]

I just signed up to pre-order one of these. I love the fact that it’s quiet, faster than an average Porsche, and it uses no gas.

I just got back from Houston, someplace I had never been before. I didn’t get to spend a lot of time there, I was in and out in a couple of days. Mostly I noticed that is was freakishly humid. But I did meet some cool people, and went to a couple [...]

I took part in the WPT Boot Camp last summer, which was great. After the 1-day session, I was able to do some serious damage in the online poker rooms that I frequented. But I never had the chance to enter a real world tournament.
This week I was able to attend a couple [...]

I’m hitting a lot of the casino on this trip. Even though I come here a couple times per year, it’s usually for a conference or meeting, so I don’t get to look around much. This time I got a chance to really check some places out. I walked through the Bellagio, [...]

I’m in vegas for a few days, mostly personal. I made the mistake of staying at the Luxor. The price was just to good to pass up. I won’t make that mistake again. From now on, it’s the Venetian or Wynn only. The Luxor just sucks.
I finally saw Blue Man [...]

Michael had his first little league game of the season. He is on the Cardinals. He did well, but they did not win. They lost 8 – 13. But on the up side, he did bat himself onto base each time, which is more than can be said for most of [...]

Some old judge, who I assume never heard the term blog before this case, decided that Sen. Mike DeWine’s former counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Robert Steinbuch, can sue Jessica Cutler for talking about sex with him on her blog.
It should be noted that she only used his initials, but of course people were [...]

I think I have narrowed he search for a new car down to 4 models.
First, the Nissan Murano.  It fits my need for being a SUV type vehicle, but drives like a car.  I wouldn’t consider this one, but Andy speaks very highly of it.  I admit that they look cool.  I’m just not crazy [...]
