Full Tilt Poker

I find myself addicted to Full Tilt Poker. Full Tilt Poker is an online poker card room where you can play with people all around the world. It is the second largest, behind Pokerstars. I love playing poker, but this addiction really got the best of me recently. I started out by putting in $20 on my account. In a matter of hours I watched my bankroll soar to almost $120. This is great because I have made 100 dollars in a few hours of playing. I could have cashed out and wait for a check to come in the mail, but I wanted to win more. I waited a day to start playing and guess what? I lost it all. When I finally saw zero dollars on my account, I was stunned. The same time I made $100, I lost all of it twice as fast. This experience has taught me not to do the same thing again. Next time I make enough to cash out online, I will cash out.

Seawolf market

Have anyone ever purchasec any computer accessories at Seawolf market at the SAC. I did once and i swear that would be my last. I was really in need of a computer mouse for my project and I had no choice but come to Seawolf market. There were not much varieties there, only some random mouse made by some random company. I bought one that looked the most usable and much to my suprise, it literally broke itself the moment I opened it. The hardware mechanic was designed as good as a two years old's Lego castle. What were they thinking ?

google bookstore


Google's bookstore opened this Monday.

This bookstore will be a big threat to other ebook selling companies, such as Amazon.

It also seems like Google is expanding its product line to every sector.

Kinect: the making

Here's a video I found about the conceptualization and the production of Kinect. With the endless possibilities of Kinect application, I think it's interesting to know what's behind the technology: the skeletal tracking, the 3D camera, and the software. As a programmer myself, I caught on what one of the guys said: "It's 50% hardware, 50% software..." because it shows the amazing capabilities of a truly unified hardware and software. And it's not just that; I was surprised when different kinds of people with different occupations actually made Kinect possible.
