Jennings vs. The Profit Motive
Monday, June 30th, 2003Ok, here's the basic problem: I've been hipped to the fact that basically everyone in online poker rooms (especially at low limits) has no idea how to play poker correctly, and they just churn in, donate their money to those who know the score, and churn out. And since I ...
It wasn’t nearly as sexy as I thought it would be.
Thursday, June 19th, 2003The dress code at my major undisclosed consulting firm was revised today. From April 2001 through about 2pm or so today, women were required to wear hosiery, and as the news spread that our pigheaded (male) site manager had lifted that requirement, there was much spontaneous celebration.

Let’s recap.
Wednesday, June 4th, 2003I trace the start of the bad luck to sometime shortly after I leave the blackjack table last Thursday night in Atlantic City while still on a hot streak. Let my misfortune be a lesson for you all. 1. I spent the next four hours losing $130 playing $2-4 Texas Hold ...
Don’t touch me, I’m bad luck.
Monday, June 2nd, 2003First, Jeff's weblog is dead at five entries, again. He's a victim of pre-emptive self-censorship -- never explicitly told to knock it off, but intimidated that way. The lesson for you all: never ever mix your blog and your office. They're better off not knowing, and you're better off not ...
