A Great Day in California

Today's news is really wonderful -- that the California Supreme Court has overturned two laws that stood in the way of same-sex marriages. It's a ray of hope in what's been a pretty dark decade so far for my country.

Of course, there was a mind-blowing moment that accompanied the news. It came in the form of this little bit of context:

The California Supreme Court was the first state high court to strike down a law barring interracial marriage, in a 1948 decision called Perez v. Sharp. The United States Supreme Court did not follow suit until 1967.

I'm not exactly sure what that says about the pace of justice in America, but looking at these issues in hindsight, it certainly seems like we're taking way too long to sort out "All men are created equal."

Charity Poker

  • Apr 21, 2008
  • 2 comments

I played in a charity poker event this past weekend for the Nevada SPCA. As an animal lover, it was nice to know that the money I donated was going to help dogs and cats, and not lining the pockets of my rivals at the poker table. There were plenty of celebrities from the poker world.

If you're a fan, you'll know the names Negreanu, Ivey, Brunson, Lederer, Hachem, Greenstein, Cloutier, and there were dozens more. Jen Harman and her husband Marco Traniello were the hosts and luckily I got to play at their table for a few levels. My best shot at making some money was to try to win the bounty for knocking Marco out of the tournament.

Sadly, that didn't happen, although I did knock out a pretty famous player at one point. In the end, I finished 23rd out of 270. Oh well, maybe next year. Thanks to John Caldwell and PokerNews for inviting me to take part. It was a blast.

Here's a collection of phone-cam shots from the event, which was held at the lovely Venetian poker room in Las Vegas.

QotD: Daylight Saving Time

  • Mar 10, 2008

Love it or hate it, many of you lost an hour of sleep last night due to Daylight Saving Time? Worth It? Do you like it more/less now that Daylight Saving Time occurs earlier (and later) in the year?


As it turns out, Hawaii doesn't have Daylight Savings Time.
