WSOP - Couldn’t Care Less

July 23rd, 2008 lifesagrind

I’m back from vacation today.

Is it just me or was their a large sense of apathy towards the WSOP in general this year. I didn’t follow a single event. I don’t care about who wins the Main Event.  I don’t even plan to watch any of it on TV. All in all I couldn’t care less about any of it.

The only thing that may have held interest for me would have been if Tiffany Michelle had made the final table.  But she didn’t, so it doesn’t.

How many of you feel the way I do?  I bet it’s most of you.

So What Did You Do With Your Computer Last Week?

April 12th, 2008 lifesagrind

This is what I spent my time with. 

  1. Firefox Used for 28 hours, 34 minutes and 35 seconds

  2. OpenOffice.org Used for 2 hours, 15 minutes and 20 seconds

  3. Windows Live Writer Used for 1 hour, 51 minutes and 24 seconds

  4. digsby Used for 1 hour, 23 minutes and 47 seconds

  5. Avatar_software_thumb … and more Used for 7 hours, 49 minutes and 29 seconds

Using an online service known as Wakoopa you can track which programs eat up your time.  As you can see I spend most of my time on the web, then comes writing, followed up by Social Networking and IM.  You can view my complete break down here.

Twatr (NSFW)

April 2nd, 2008 lifesagrind

Twat did you say?  I cunt hear you.  I have an ear infucktion.

I noticed that TechCrunch reported on the arrival of a new messaging service today.  It’s called twatr.net.  It’s apparently twitter for the adult crowd.  It’s in beta right now but they will supposedly be offering the ability to share video, audio, and even live stream.  Sound like a good place to get your kink on.

As a member of the married crew you won’t find me on this service. But if I were single, much younger, and looking to find the swinger type, hell I’d probably give it a try.

April Foolishness

April 1st, 2008 lifesagrind

That didn’t last long.  Busto already.

 

Of Course I was never really doing any of that anyway.  My vein attempt at an April Fool’s post was apparently very convincing as I heard from many well wishers.  I thought it was absurd to think that I’d never run bad for more than a month (ever) and that I could support my family playing $6.50 SNG’s.  You all must think I’m a lot better player than I really am.  I’m not even sure it would be possible for the best SNG player who ever lived to accomplish that feat.  I even used the username slooflirpa which is april fools backwards as my Cake Poker moniker.

At any rate I appreciate the votes of confidence but I doubt I would ever consider playing the game of poker as my only source of income.  I’m just to risk adverse and I’d sabotage myself before I ever had a chance to be successful. 

LiveCast Schedule - Now With Hole Cards

March 13th, 2008 lifesagrind

I still need to give the livecasting page a good redesign but I do have most of the kinks worked out on the broadcast side.  I  know the audio is a bit weak but I don’t want to spend the money on a USB mic. right now.  If I get enough interested viewers then I’ll readdress that.

The live schedule will be as follows barring any unforeseen instances of life getting in the way.  In that case I will post something here letting you know I won’t be on.

Tues-Thurs. 9pm - 10pm central time.

I will be on more often than that but I can only commit to the times above for now.  I will also on occasion be broadcasting my screen when I’m doing development work on PokerTechReviews.com.

If I’m playing in a blogger tournament I will not be displaying my hole cards.  This would of course just be stupid on my part.  During all other times though my hole cards will be up for everyone to see and comment on.

So come hang out and make fun of me to my face.  I’ll be on tonight.

Genesis

March 10th, 2008 lifesagrind

A few posts back I mentioned I was starting a new site.  Moving my blog to it’s own URL wasn’t it. 

The announcement is I will be launching a Poker Software and Hardware Review site at PokerTechReviews.com.  You will notice that I used the word “will” when I mentioned that.  This site hasn’t gotten far past the very initial planning stages at this time.  I will however be chronicling everything having to do with the planning, implementation, and launch of the site at the PokerTechReviews Blog.  I encourage everyone to check this blog out as I will be looking for feedback from all of you.  After all, the site will be catered to you when it launches.

I also ask that anyone who reads this also mention it in your own blog.  I’m looking for a bit of a viral ground swell as I hope to solicit some very specific help over the next few days.  The first post is already up and I’ll be writing a few more in rapid succession.

Thanks in advance for everyone’s help in spreading the word.
