the education of a poker player, herbert yardley. pdf.
http://deallook.com/free_casino/The_Education_Of_A_Poker_Player_by_Herbert_Osborne_Yardley_www.deallook.com.pdf
I've been looking for this book for several years, after reading his "The American Black Chamber" about when he ran the american codebreaking team in WWI. I don't play poker, but he's a good storyteller.
oh and here a google books snapshot of his black chamber book.

My Definite Chief Aim
I, Bruce Lee, will be the first highest paid Oriental super star in the United States. In return I will give the most exciting performances and render the best of quality in the capacity of an actor. Starting 1970 I will achieve world fame and from then onward till the end of 1980 I will have in my possession $10,000,000. I will live the way I please and achieve inner harmony and happiness.

1969 like a boss.

moot speech at sxsw
if i find tynan's talk i'll add that too.
update: tynan's batteries went out so no video at least not yet?
the beaver premiered at sxsw. here's a review. it might be the one movie i see in the theater this year. i go to about one movie a year.
gibson is consistently good, from galipoli to conspiracy theory to braveheart. i don't mind his politics,and his politics often inform his movies. the plot here about a depressed guy who finds a puppet and a new way to try to communicate, obviously speaks to me.

this bike is printed from plastic. it's a gimmick to demonstrate a technology, with no plans to actually produce and market it. it weighs half what an aluminum bike does.
i'd like to see these produced, but i probably couldn't get that accomplished, even if i dropped everything else going on in my life (such as it is.)
happy pi day

Local judge rules against indianapolis star about disclosing anonymous commenters, reports the Star
The ruling is not online, so it isn't clear what standard the judge used.
maybe the ILB will have more, developing.
Yes, the ilb had it. pdf.
No,that's just the order, not an opinion. So I don't know where things stand.

Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church wins at Supreme Court, 8-1.
This was the right result,and is something the Church has been working on for years.
They will now be even more insufferably smug than before.
I think I first ran into these guys,both in person and online, in 1992.
I figure love the sinner hate the sin. I offered to have lunch with Ben, the Phelps who was disrupting our chatrooms, next time I ran into him at a rally. But they were afraidI had nefarious purposes in mind so we ended up not meeting.
I wonder what they will get in th3e way of legal fees for this one.
