The Uniballer
Posted by mep | Filed under life
I got this email from my sister and I just HAD to share it:
My friend had her golden retriever puppy neutered. He recovered from the
surgery fine, but my friend noticed that only one of his balls shrunk-the
other one was huge and swinging like it did before. Ends up the vet actually
missed a testicle when he [...]
CMS lags ASS
Posted by mep | Filed under sports, tech
This is what happens when your Content Management System (CMS) lags your Automated Scoring System (ASS).
Look at the column that starts with ‘H’ – it needs to be a 0 (not a 1) for a no hitter
yet another reason online poker SUCKS!

you have been getting this all night:
now you have AA on the button, your stack is short cause you’ve been having connectivity issues all night and have been sittting out almost every hand.
It’s your move, what are you going to do? Forget about how you play the hand, you have been timed out again [...]
the bed
Posted by mep | Filed under life
In January, i decided to upgrade my bed. After a lots of time, a ton of little decisions and dropping some serious coin, it’s finally done (well, it’s been done for a few months to tell the truth).
The stats are:
Regular King size mattress with pillow top
Low platform frame from West Elm
1200 thread count sheets [...]
San Diego Poker IS an oxymoron
Posted by mep | Filed under poker, rants
I called Oceans11 in Oceanside to get the details of their Super Satellite tournament to the WSOP this Saturday 4/22/2006.
Here is the skinny, 2500 in starting chips, 15 minute rounds starting with blinds of 25/50. That a starting M of 33, in 15 minutes that M is 16, and in another 15 minutes it’s 8 [...]
Poker For Dummies
Posted by mep | Filed under poker
i WAS curious. After playing poker for 10+ years, the only reason I put ‘Poker for Dummies’ into my Netflix account was to see how much they covered in the 51 minute DVD. So after a hard day at work, I poured a Guinness and inserted the DVD in for a quick watch.
Everyone needs to [...]
Pechanga’s vig stops me
Posted by mep | Filed under poker
I was getting ready to play the Penchanga Open starting tomorrow, mostly cause it’s an easy get from the house to play some live tournament poker. Since I moved from LA, my live poker tournament play has taken a serious hit. A 6:30 start is nice, 30 minutes rounds, starting at $25/$25, 2500 in starting [...]
Business Cards
Posted by mep | Filed under life
The firm i work for put in an order for my business cards. The printer messed up and I got 1000 cards…opps!
Then I got thinking, how many business cards does a `true software developer` need. I’m not taking about folks that are customer facing, but `lights and shoes off, head down, dual monitors developers`.
100 cards [...]
yet another game
Posted by mep | Filed under sports
Gotta love it – yet another last minute Padres game. This time the attendance was a little more than half the opener, which makes for an easier visit to the ballpark. Parking, traffic, bathrooms, everything was a breeze.
I do get a kick out of San Diegoans – the filed thermometer said 59 degrees, yet every [...]
Opening Day
Posted by mep | Filed under sports
Yesterday’s plan was to go to work, catch a few opening day games on MLB via the internet, and hit the gym on the way home.
Around 1pm someone jammed a ticket for opening day for the Padres under my nose and said, go! Who am I say no. I’m no Padres fan, but I’m a [...]
