Missing but not Lost
November 23, 2005 – 12:42 pm
I’ve been absent from this here blog lately and the trend will continue for at least a few more days. I going to three games the next three days and my Xbox 360 arrived yesterday. That doesn’t leave much time for blogging and surfing the Internet. I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!
Just a Little Bit
November 23, 2005 – 12:39 pm
I’ve played very little poker lately and the trend will continue for another week or two. I’m going to the Red Wings game tonight, Lions game tomorrow, and Pistons on Friday. How’s that for a Thanksgiving? I also received my Xbox 360 yesterday so that will be taking up a lot of my free time. [...]

Soaring
November 15, 2005 – 12:30 pm
I also took a trip this weekend to the Soaring Eagle Casino so I could play some poker with my dear ol’ brother. I decided to take a different route, as I tried out the 6/12 game for the first time in my life. It is quite a bit different, as the players [...]

Live Again
November 13, 2005 – 1:34 pm
I didn’t play much poker in the last week. Only one session on Party Poker for a few hours and a $1.50 loss.
Yesterday I headed over to the Soaring Eagle Casino in Mt. Pleasant for some live action. I walked into the poker room at about 11:15 and was seated at a $3/6 table in [...]
Wings, Lions, and Pistons
November 9, 2005 – 12:16 pm
My Dad, brother, and I were planning on getting some tickets for the Lions Thanksgiving game this year, so I’ve been keeping an eye on eBay. It looked like it was going to be at least $300 for 3 tickets to the game, and those aren’t even for the good seats.
Yesterday I found a dream [...]

Sony MDR-EX51LP Fontopia Headphones
November 8, 2005 – 11:43 am
I bought a set of these Sony MDR-EX51LP Fontopia Headphones on eBay and they came yesterday. They are definitely worth the price for the quality that you receive. I think I paid less than $30 after shipping costs are included. They fit great in the ears and have two additional sizes of attachments if your [...]

Bart Bryant Dominated the Tour Championship
November 7, 2005 – 1:33 pm
After two rounds of the Tour Championship, I thought Retief Goosen would take over. Was I ever wrong! Bart Bryant dominated the toughest field in golf by winning the Tour Championship by 6 strokes.
If you asked me 5 days ago who Bryant was I would not have known. He has never made golf headlines that [...]
More Google AdSense Updates
November 7, 2005 – 11:15 am
It looks like Google has done some updating with AdSense because I’m getting updated stats every few minutes. It used to take 30 minutes to an hour for stats to update and even then they seemed to be behind. Just what I need. It’s not like I don’t suffer from Repetitive Information Injury (RII) enough.
Update: [...]

The One Handed Drop Cut is a simple way to cut a deck of cards with one hand. This card trick might often be called by the simpler name of the “one handed cut.” The trick only has four steps and is very easy to learn.
