Site Down

Aug 11, 2009 by Rip

My thanks to the veritable flood of emails which informed me the website was down recently. Took a little tracking down but I’m reasonably sure we have killed the problem.

Little Poker Action

Jun 27, 2009 by Rip

pokerchipsSure, I enjoy a solid, friendly poker game now and again. I have some Paulson’s Top Hat & Cane chips (pictured), some KEM playing cards, and a home made poker table to slide those cards across. Always a good time and worth the effort. So, six of us played a quick Texas Hold’em style tourney with a $20 buy-in gets you $1500 in chips. With a standard blind structure and a timer provided by DD Poker, things were off and running. About three hours in, I’d amassed a significant chip lead and only one player threatened as we moved into heads-up action. However, it didn’t take long. A couple of bad decisions later and a cold run of cards, I found myself on the short stack. The killing blow came with the final hand of the night where, on an all-in bet, I showed two pair while my opponent nailed a straight. Tough beat but that is poker.

Kris?

May 20, 2009 by Rip

Yeah, I let network TV wash over me now and again. Yes, I watch American Idol. Just took in the finale. Great 2-hour show, building anticipation for the big event. Stars, more stars, and then … then … Kris won. What the … ? Adam was clearly the superior artist; not even close. What a freakin’ let down. Kris was good but Adam was mucho gusto better.

Twitter

Josh, glad to see you on Twitter. Should have known you’d be keeping up with the “in” crowd. Are you piping your stuff to your blog or just throwing tweets out on the net? Inquiring minds want all the dirt.

Locked Out

Feb 11, 2009 by Rip

Interesting thing happened on the way to normal life. I was locked out of my WordPress blog with a suspicious redirect issue. Got a pretty good idea what happened and continue investigating the logs to narrow down my response. However, fixed the issue with a little effort. Glad to be back.

And now we say goodbye to Gini. Thru his professionalism, expertise, & energy, he was a big reason for our recent success.

@GWijnaldum

Goodbye & good luck. You will always be in our hearts. #YNWA

Liverpool’s Goalkeeper scores winner in 95th minute with season on line. Incredible sporting moment that almost cracks chill of my cold blue heart. Allison lost his father at the end of February. What emotions he must have experienced in this second 🙌🇧🇷

Absolutely incredible.
Another “moment” in Reds history. We go again but need a hand getting over the line. C’mon Leicester! https://t.co/T5VwD1uKRT

.@Speechify_audio Was interested but the price point ($12/month) for premium is just too high. Unfortunately, the free voices pale in comparison. Great concept, may return if/when price drops.

// Why?

Before I answer why, let’s talk about the rules. Here, I chatter about unimportant things. I stay in the shallow end of the pool, speculating on pop culture fascination, the journey of Liverpool FC, while offering an opinion or two on gaming. Why? Because I enjoy the written word. There is both a precision and also freedom with its balance, flow, and elegance. And this corner of the Internet offers a place to dabble in topics which avoid anything with a fuse.
