Good interview with Barry Greenstein somewhere on Cardplayer website, some frank exchanges.

Bryce Paradis is a very insightful poker player, rare, some original thoughts and analysis mostly on Limit Poker over at Stoxtrader website.

Been Cycling recently, want to get fitter.

Le Dîner de cons(The Dinner Game) is a funny movie (I laughed out loud several times).

I watched Tenebrae with my good friend Steve Hamilton recently. We both got a kick out of it, forgot how good it was, not seen it in several years now. I correctly guessed it was made in 1982 based on architecture and music from the film. I did say late 70's in the first ten minutes but settled on 1982 by half way in. Good read! I think I'm getting addicted to late 70's architecture, I hope they don't start pulling that stuff down.

Diablo 3 has been announced by Blizzard. There is a 20 minute gameplay trailer you can stream from the site. Blizzard shit all over the competition.
