Candyrat Records
I have written twice now about Magnatune as a real leader in the new age of publishing music. I am completely impressed with their business model and operation, and if you missed the first post, here it is. Candyrat Records is another cool online music label, but they don’t quite measure up to […]

Jeff Wahl on Magnatune
In this post, I wrote about a wonderful online record label called Magnatune. I mentioned that I had downloaded three albums by a specific artist, but wouldn’t mention that artist in the post. His name is Jeff Wahl, and he’s another great acoustic guitarist. In my next post, I’ll finally tell how I […]

Rethinking Online Poker
I started playing online poker in September 2004. It instantly became an obsession. For the first 10 months, I believe that I missed only one single day where I didn’t play. I still play a ton, but it’s definitely well beyond the obsession stage. In the past year, I have gone two weeks […]

HDTV Transition Continues
In September, in this post, I reported that we finally broke down and bought our first HDTV. As predicted, after watching the new TV for nearly four months, I started presenting all of the holiday deals on HDTV’s to Lois, whenever I saw them. I know she considered it nagging, rather than presenting. […]

Abigail Washburn and Sparrow Quartet at Joe’s Pub
At the bottom of this very long post, I mentioned that Lois and a friend were going to see Abigail Washburn at Joe’s Pub, on April 3rd, 2007. I went to see the Allman Brothers Band on the same night with that friend’s husband, so I didn’t blog about Abigail, even though Lois […]

Magnatune.com Totally Nails Music
I’ve had a number of music-related posts kicking around my head of a while now, and I’ve even threatened publicly to finally birth my Pandora and Last.fm post. It’s coming, as are a few other music posts in the next week. However, I just discovered an online music label called Magnatune this past […]

Weekend Poker Update
We spent the day with our friends in Leesburg yesterday, and had a very nice time. Got back to the hotel to relax for the evening. After dinner, I decided to enter the nightly Omaha Hi-Lo. I didn’t have a free entry queued up, so I ponied up the $22 to get in. […]

Hotel TV Victory
In this post, I mentioned that it wouldn’t be until January that I got to try out my new low-tech cable solution for watching our own stuff on the hotel TV. We just had the longest stretch in six years of not being in a hotel. Our last stay ended on November 20th, […]

Last Poker Post of 2007
OK, I really didn’t expect to post again on poker this year. But, I have to. 😉 I just played in two qualifiers. They started 40 minutes apart, so when the second started, I played in both simultaneously for about 90 minutes. The first was for the big tourney on Sunday. That one […]
