The One Handed Update

November 3, 2009 General Ramblings

As mentioned previously it looks like I did a number on my right arm. Things have improved quite a bit since my last post though I’m still limited to typing one handed. I would say I’m at about 80% use of both my arm and hand as the doctor suggested and each day [...]

An Arresting Development in Bangkok

October 6, 2009 Is Online Poker Legal?

I had been doing some research for a post I’m writing about what the poker scene is like here in Thailand and one of the people that I contacted ended up relaying a story that is so surreal that making it simply part of another post doesn’t do it justice.
I always love a [...]

The Week That Was Sept 7 – Sept 13

September 14, 2009 General Ramblings

I’ll explain the title later . . . keep reading.
I had really been looking forward to the Asian Poker Tour in Macau for many reasons (in no particular order)
1. Who in gaming doesn’t want to see a gambling mecca larger than Vegas?
2. Check out the local poker scene

Hong Kong Visa Run

August 25, 2009 Travel

I made the mistake of going out to have “a few pints” after my Thai class last Monday evening and ended up closing out the evening at an after-hours bar my friend owns. By “after-hours” it means he doesn’t even bother opening his doors until after 11pm and people usually don’t start stumbling in [...]

Wicked Lightning

August 13, 2009 General Ramblings

I recently read a few articles on how to capture good photos of lightning and have been hankering to get a chance. While it rains in Bangkok nearly every day or so proper thunderstorms are more rare. Last night was an exception. I was woken up around 4am by a loud racket [...]
