Back from BARGE
I got back this morning from my first ever BARGE. I will try to do an actual trip report sometime tomorrow, if I can actually remember everything. I will say now that I had a blast with everything - the tournaments, the banquet, sushi, karaokee, cash games (normal and bizarre), hanging out with scottro who I hadn't seen in over a year), and finally ( Read more... ) -

Sun Devil Football
Since I am working with ASU Athletics Marketing, I need to promote the upcoming football season as much as possible. So, I put our new commercial up on YouTube:
Any suggestion on how I can get more exposure for this? I already hit the two big ASU sports message boards. -
Vegas on Sunday
Erica and I are going to be in Vegas from Sunday until Wednesday. Erica has never been there before, and doesn't really like gambling. I've been there twice, but once was for NBA All-Star Weekend and the other was a 44-hour poker binge.

Specifically, I am now working on converting a Windows-based website (SQL Server and ASP) into a MySQL/PHP website. The database uses a lot of SQL Server-specific features (a lot of 'rowguid' if anyone recognizes that), so the database conversion has a LOT of ( Read more... ) -
My father
I called my dad yesterday to wish him a happy father's day, and asked him about his weight. You see, about 3 months ago he had a scare - sudden chest pain that radiated out to his arm. It wasn't a heart attack, and he shrugged it off (I didn't even find out that he was in the hospital until almost 24 hours later ( Read more... ) -
First Oregon Trail....
and tonight, it was "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?" Playing these old computer games is a fun flashback to elementary school!
