What exactly does this mean for the Pistons tonight?

Rotors and Pads
March 21, 2006 – 10:11 am
I took my TrailBlazer in to get checked out this morning because it started making some grinding/rubbing noises in the back when I was going at slower speeds. Turns out I need new rotors and pads on the back and front. I just love putting money into a vehicle…don’t you?
Hamachi
March 20, 2006 – 1:01 pm
I had first ready about Hamachi a few months ago on Bryan’s site and finally got around to trying it out this weekend. It’s one slick piece of software. Much easier than setting up a VPN and all that junk.
With Hamachi you can organize two or more computers with an Internet connection into their own [...]
Michigan Golfers Enjoy Some "Warm" Weather
March 19, 2006 – 6:36 pm
I’ve previously mentioned the new golf center that opened here in Saginaw and I’ve had a chance to visit the past two days. Yesterday it was about 40 degrees out and maybe a bit too chilly, but I wanted to hit a few balls. Today was much nicer at 48 degrees, but the wind was [...]
Round 2 Day 1
March 18, 2006 – 12:43 am
I was 4 out of 6 on yesterday’s wagers for a profit of $35.01 (running total of $60.59). The small little wagers really are making the games more interesting, especially since my brackets have all gone to shit after today. It’s time to up the antes a bit and try some different bets for round [...]
Buy Golf Balls on eBay
March 17, 2006 – 10:15 am
As technology gets better, prices go up. A box of a dozen golf balls can cost anywhere from $10 to $50. You hit these balls once or twice and they’re no longer new. But guess what…the majority of us hackers will keep playing that used ball until it’s in the water or we lose it [...]
Best Golf to Watch
March 17, 2006 – 9:53 am
I always enjoy watching the Masters. It’s unlike any other golf tournament and I think a lot of it has to do with the green jackets of Augusta National Golf Club. The TV coverage provided is better than any other sports event the world has to offer. Sometimes they don’t have any commercials at all, [...]
All In Stealing Content
March 17, 2006 – 9:33 am
The web site for All In Mag is republishing feeds of the top 200 poker blogs…without permission. I’m not linking to their site here but it’s not hard to find. Look them up and check out the Blogs section. No original content of their own. Another site called Blogs on Poker (put those 3 words [...]
Performancing Metrics
March 17, 2006 – 9:23 am
Performancing came out with a free public beta of a blog tracking service earlier this week, called Performancing Metrics. I haven’t used it a very much yet, but it looks very promising. Most statistics services and packages are bloated with useless data. PM gives bloggers access to the data they’ll need most often and it [...]
Goodbye Joey
March 17, 2006 – 9:19 am
The Detroit Lions signed quarterbacks Jon Kitna and Josh McCown this week, which should mean they’ll be shipping Joey Harrington elsewhere. Finally some new coaches who can see where some of the problems start with this team.
March Madness 2nd Day Bets
March 17, 2006 – 12:53 am
Four out of the five bets from round 1 day 1 won for a profit of $25.58 on $50 wagered. Marquette couldn’t even pull through with a win, let alone covering the spread. A winning day is never bad, especially on my first sports bets. Here are the games I took for the round 1 [...]
March Madness 1st Day Bets
March 16, 2006 – 10:04 am
For the first time I’m trying out sports betting. I took $100 out of my poker bankroll to wager on some of the March Madness games. I’m using Bodog to place my bets since I have an account with them for poker already. I put $10 on each of the following games:
Indiana -1.5
Marquette -3
Illinois -8.5
Boston [...]
Party Bonus #2
March 16, 2006 – 8:40 am
I 8-tabled the $1/2 tables at Party Poker again last night for almost 2 hours after work and then another hour or so before bed. I was able to clear over 1,700 raked hands to make the 1,500 I needed for the 2nd of their 3 bonus offers. I’ve yet to see the free $100 [...]
Marching On
March 15, 2006 – 2:04 pm
I love the month of March for two reasons. March Madness and the coming of warmer Michigan weather.
The month of March is heaven for college basketball fans and NCAA bball just happens to be my favorite sport to watch. The teamwork, intensity, atmosphere, and everything about the game draws me in. I’ve already been tuned [...]
Indiana Instead
March 15, 2006 – 2:04 pm
Looks like I won’t be making a trip to Myrtle Beach. I’ll be hitting up Indiana (or however far South we need to drive for good weather) instead. My Dad, a couple of his friends, and I will be making a 4 day trip at the end of the month. Now that something is scheduled [...]
Doing Great
March 15, 2006 – 12:18 pm
Things are going great in Nick-land lately. The wisdom teeth extraction couldn’t have turned out any better. I haven’t really had any pain and my recovery was quick and easy. I’m still pretty limited in what I can eat, so that sucks. Oatmeal, smoothies, ice cream, and soup have been on the menu for almost [...]
Grinding
March 15, 2006 – 11:48 am
Once again I’ve gone back to grinding the low limit games at Party. A couple of times in the last week I’ve hit up the $1/2 tables, running 8 at a time. Gotta love the dual monitor setup! This is my favorite way to whip through one of their bonuses, but it also helps to [...]
Cheap Magazine Subscriptions
March 8, 2006 – 12:59 pm
Don’t overlook eBay for cheap magazine subscriptions. I just bought a year of Men’s Health for $3.99 and received 3 years of Golf Digest as a bonus.
Take My Wisdom, Set Me Free
March 8, 2006 – 8:55 am
Tomorrow morning at 8 am I’m going in to get 3 of my wisdom teeth extracted/pulled/yanked/drilled/uprooted. It’s not something I’m exactly looking forward to given the history of my teeth and gums, but I’ve needed it done for a few years now. They’re in the way, but also out of the way because I can’t [...]
