Pushup Propbet

Date: Sun, Oct 5, 2008 Internet Tournament

I agreed a few hours ago to a pretty basic pushup propbet.  It isn’t anything incredibly difficult, but it certainly isn’t easy either.  The terms are simple: 60 pushups using “Perfect Pushup” handles in 100 seconds.  The pushups have to be full pushups and can’t be super-quick half pushups.  I cannot get out of the pushup [...]

Aruba Stuff

Date: Fri, Oct 3, 2008 Internet Tournament

I’m just wrapping up this trip to Aruba.  stevesbets left a little while ago, so I’m on my own until my flight tomorrow.  A few notes from the week… One afternoon Steve and I spent a few hours in the pool with Taylor (Green Plastic), Stinger, LatestLines2, some guy from Cornell who was friends with Stinger [...]

Google Penalities Expiring

Date: Tue, Sep 30, 2008 Internet Tournament

I blogged about this awhile back (Weird Things Going on at Google - July 3rd, 2008) about problems with poker affiliate sites in Google. It appears that everything has returned to normal for the most part. CardsChat, Launch Poker, Poker Source and a number of others are all showing up where they used to in [...]

Russ Hamilton Publicly Named by KGC Report

Date: Mon, Sep 29, 2008 Internet Tournament

I don’t see anything on the KGC website, but iGamingNews is reporting that Russ Hamilton is being named in an interim KGC report.  A number of news sources including Poker King and CardPlayer have picked up the story and republished about it, so I am assuming they did some checking to make sure that iGamingNews [...]

Aruba

Date: Sun, Sep 28, 2008 Internet Tournament

I flew into Aruba late last night and got into the hotel around midnight.  My flight from Miami was myself, Roothlus, Cooler King, his wife (I didn’t catch her online name), Shawn Rice, dhubermex and a lot of other people who were obviously poker players, but I didn’t recognize them. I just woke up around an [...]

Picasa, Google and Air Conditioning

Date: Sat, Sep 27, 2008 Internet Tournament

Yea, those three don’t necessarily go together. Anyway, I went to get Picasa because I like how it handles picture resizing. I searched for Picasa (because it’s faster than typing in a URL and this is what I got): Pretty normal. The first link (the “Download” link) was, obviously, my main interest. So I [...]

Google including blogs in search results

Date: Wed, Sep 24, 2008 Internet Tournament

I’ve been seeing this on and off for a really long time. I’m not sure what triggers this to show up, but I do know that it’s rare. Somehow, a Google search for Steve Beshear is now showing three Google Blog Search results, one of which (awesomely) is mine. It’s definitely a quick way [...]

Woot is awesome

Date: Wed, Sep 24, 2008 Internet Tournament

Thanks to stevebets reminding me about tonight’s Woot Off, I am the proud new owner of one of these: (In case you can’t tell, it’s a toilet paper dispenser with a radio built-in) To be fair, this purchase wasn’t 100% retarded. For whatever reason, the master bath in my condo didn’t come with a toilet paper [...]

Steve Beshear is a hypocritical douchebag

Date: Tue, Sep 23, 2008 Internet Tournament

In case you haven’t heard about this, Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear is attempting to seize 141 domain names of some of the biggest online gaming operators in the world. He’s just a shill for the horse racing industry in Kentucky engaging in protectionist actions on behalf of TwinSpires.com. Apparently, TwinSpires sucks and they’re [...]

La Guacima

Date: Mon, Sep 22, 2008 Internet Tournament

Today I got up early and headed over to a track called “La Guacima” kind of near the San Jose Airport. It’s Costa Rica’s nicest track for racing cars and bikes which, admittedly, is not saying much, but it was pretty cool. It’s definitely a professional-level track with a lot of tricky turns, [...]

Well the MSNBC article is up and I’m linked, so I guess I should put a post up so people clicking through can find out what is going on. Here are my main posts about Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet: Ultimate Bet and Russ Hamilton (July 13th, 2008) Ultimate Bet Cheating Scandal (May 29th, 2008) Absolute Poker Cheating Scandal [...]

Ten steps to secure yourself online for $50

Date: Wed, Sep 17, 2008 Internet Tournament

This basically applies to people with Windows-based PCs.  Most people on Mac and Linux don’t have too much to worry about, but a bunch of the steps can be taken by the non-windows folks as well. But since Windows is still the best and easiest operating system for the computing novice to play poker [...]
