Interesting reading, if you haven’t already seen it

February 19th, 2010

Looking through my Twitter feed yesterday, someone retweeted to Roger Ebert’s response to an Esquire article written about him: http://www.esquire.com/features/roger-ebert-0310 . Ebert then posted his response on his blog with the Chicago Sun-Times: http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2010/02/roger_eberts_last_words_cont.html. Both articles are really really powerful to read.

I knew Ebert had gone through the removal of his jaw from the cancer he had, but had no idea to the extent he almost died when his artery burst. The articles also details how he currently communicates, using the text-to-speech on his Macbook Pro to “speak” to people around him, and doing lots of blogging and Twittering. The man does tweet all day long, and links to a number of interesting things. Needless to say, I added him.

Anyway, read the articles if you haven’t already. (Also: two posts in one day! Cats and dogs, living together, mass hysteria!)

Reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated

February 19th, 2010

I’ve got a lot I’d love to say, but just can’t figure up how to say it, I guess. Writing can be very very rewarding, but difficult to get the words out right. Anything I have to “say” these days goes on Twitter. This blog’s still here, of course. I’ll always keep this domain around. I just guess the content’s become extremely few and far between.

So anyway, yea blog post. Here’s hoping I can figure out how to get words typed into a box on the screen a bit better and faster next time.

(This year’s goal: More than three posts for the year!)

This Blackberry WordPress app is kinda cool. Now, if only I’d post more often…

New Year’s Resolutions for 2009 (just a few days late)

January 4th, 2009

Okay. So I’m a few days late with my New Year’s Resolutions. I mean, they still count even if you don’t have them posted on 1/1, right? Right? Right.

2008 was an extremely good year. We got settled into the house we’ve always dreamed of having, Anna started kindergarten, I
made some really awesome new friends, I got the opportunity I’ve been waiting on at work, and at times I’ve gained that confidence in myself I’ve been looking for . . . well, all my life, really. So, what do I want to accomplish in 2009?

Has it really been a year since I’ve posted here?

December 13th, 2008

That’s really kinda scary. Guess it’s time to try and reboot the site again. Making a quick post to recheck the LJ plugin, then I may see about getting things cleaned up around here.

Welp, you can say goodbye to Absolute Poker . . .

October 17th, 2007

Details here.

Looks like a part-owner of Absolute Poker gave insider info (i.e. everyone’s hole cards) to one of the players in a tournament. I think you could safely say no one will play on that site for quite some time. The online poker community should be having a field day with this one.

It’s that time of year again!

Online Poker

I have registered to play in the PokerStars World Blogger Championship of Online Poker!

This Online Poker Tournament is a No Limit Texas Holdem event exclusive to Bloggers.

Registration code: 5451630

Here’s hoping I’ll do better than my donkalicious entry last year.
