New laptop

Well I finally decided to get my new laptop. I figured with the economy tanking I should spend some money. Really happy with it.Got a Toshiba. One of the first things I did was download full tilt poker so I can play when I am drinking my coffee at Starbucks or wherever. Played a couple tourneys already and finished 3rd in one and the other was a matrix which was a first for me. Really enjoyed it though as you play the same 8 other people in 4 tournaments. Makes for quick thinking and acting.
Finally phoned about that old guy who shouldn't be driving and basically got told that I had to come in and fill out a report and maybe something might be done. Yea right. Well hopefully some family member of his gets the idea that he is too old.
Another shooting in Vancouver last night. The sale of flak jackets must be on the rise

Poker stuff

So I see they have the match ups set for the NBC heads up poker championship. Should be a lot of interesting match ups with one of the first round being Chris Moneymaker and Daniel Negraneau. Its a television friendly event and I look forward to it on NBC. To get the full list of 64 players most of whom are pros go to NBC heads up poker.

I read a lot of other poker blogs but one of my favourite is the Poker Grump. It actually was reading his blog which got me started on mine. Now his is mostly poker while mine will be some poker and some observations on life. Hopefully a good blend.

In the market for a laptop. I figure the amount of time I spend in coffee shops I may as well be on the Internet, answering emails or playing online poker. Checked out Future Shop and Staples. Very similar prices. Just looking for a middle of the road one as long as it has a built in web cam as I do a lot of video emails. Probably looking at a Toshiba but still haven't decided. Haven't played a live poker all week.
