- Barney Frank Hearing
Someone has posted a video feed of the Barney Frank hearings on online gaming. There are some really good points in there.
Frank demolishes the objections raised by pro-UIGEA folks. He’s very articulate and funny on the subject. Radley Balko’s testimony which I quoted in a previous post is just the [...]
- Radley Balko’s testimony before Congress
Thanks to Wil for pointing this out. Radley Balko made an excellent presentation to Congress regarding online gambling. Below are some of my favorite quotes.
No one is hurt when two or more consenting adults sit down for a game of poker, be it online or in person. Why any of this should be [...]

a) His interview with Steven Colbert on the Colbert Report. Wexler was running [...]
- Phil Gordon Gets Spanked
Thanks to FlipChip for finding this video clip of Phil Gordon getting spanked 10 to 8 in Rock, Paper, Scissors (Roshambo).
As many poker bloggers with crisp $100 bills in their wallets can attest, that Phil Gordon has some tells.
- Google’s Street Level Mapping II
As I mentioned in a previous post Google has launched street level mapping for Google Maps. That isn’t always a good thing if you happen to do things like pee on the side of the road when the photo for that section is being selected.
Click on the map to see the map image from [...]
- Neteller, Party and 888 - Let’s Make A Deal!
Some folks have been asking me to give my take on the most recent announcements to come out of the online gaming world. Okay, so here we go.
