   The poker boom

   http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/9286395/view/full/the-oral-history-2003-world-series-poker-which-chris-moneymaker-turned-39-25-million Very interesting read. The poker boom/Chris Moneymaker win is 10 years old this year. Grantland does a very good piece on every aspect of this through everyone involved from players and their perspectives at the time to ESPN and what they were doing television wise down to Pokerstars themself and their take as everything unfolded. Just a great read if you're interested in poker or curious about how or why there was a poker boom.

   Tumblr: Can someone esplain me what it does?

   With this tumblr purchase by yahoo, I thought I'd check out the site itself and see what the fuss is about. Long story short: I don't get it. It looks like a place for busy work for people who hang out with their laptops in coffee shops all the days. Can someone please let me know what it's all about? I'm serious. Thanks.

   I honestly can't think of any. It's rare that bands continue to top themselves with each new album. But I'm sure some of you music buffs can think of bands that have.

   Lakewood batting cages closing...

   Will be shut-down on May 31. That is the last day, and you can hit some balls for FREE. I'm gonna go a couple times before that to say goodbye to my pal Kevin (who runs it). Apparently the landlord isn't renewing the lease, in order to open a job-skills office. Kevin has another cage in Torrance, and will probly not look too hard for another Long Beach/Lakewood location because the rent will be too high I'm sure. http://www.presstelegram.com/news/ci_23285086/despite-support-lakewood-batting-cages-will-close

    Just saw this advertised and didn't know where or if I should post this since you guys tend to be very quick on the uptake. Still, I thought baseball enthusiasts deserve to know about this if they don't already. http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/out-of-the-park-baseball/index.php

    Weekend shenanigans: Delayed edition

    The weekend started off on the wrong foor by virtue of the calendar. My wife's birthday was on Saturday, May 18, and I knew it would suck, but I wasn't prepared for just how much it would suck. (For those wondering why I dwell on my wife in these posts, the 'Shenanigans' threads started because of her passing...I didn't -- and often still don't -- know what to do with the down time so I channel alot of it into words here). My friend goes to wine tastings on most Fridays at Hi-Time liquor. He's a combo of Alan from 'The Hangover,' part Steve Carell from 'The 40 Year Old Virgin' and a bunch of other characters from your favorite movies. He's a dentist by trade, but …

    Buy 3D glasses to use in the theater? After watching Iron Man in 3D, I decided to go this route. Just tired of having to clean the glasses that some of the time are scratched. From what I'm reading, there are two kinds of 3D glasses for the most part out there. RealD and Xpand. Xpand is used by Arclight, which I go to frequently. But most including the Arclight in Sherman Oaks use the RealD. Oakley makes a RealD glass which online you can find for about $70. It's not made out of that flimsy plastic film. And Xpand has a much lighter 1.04 version which is about $50 online. You can buy the clunky one's that they use in the theaters for about $20 online. A…
