Finally!
Poker's lucky streak seen fading in U.S.
Looks like the Poker craze is dying down. Finally. So annoying. Just like that low carb craze that Atkins freaks swore wasn't "just a fad." Right.
I'm ready for Bowling to make a comeback!

Bash Talk
More About the Bash
Life is busy around the holidays so I'm late in getting this brief wrap-up on the blog. Or maybe it's because I've neglected this blog for the last 6 months?
Anyway, the blogger bash was great fun. Quetzal is an interesting place. We were put in a back room near the pool table. Didn't realize that was there.
Also, a few more people showed up than what I listed in the previous post. I think Mike Hollihan has a more complete list.
We discussed many things relating to the Web and blogging. The phenomenon known as Goase.cx was a popular topic and it turns out, not an unfamiliar topic to me.
A couple of years ago I discovered a site called MetaBaby. MetaBaby was sort of like a Wiki because anyone could come along and edit the page. It was fun to play around with and became a type of art experiment.
Then came Goatse. I didn't know it was called Goatse but I did know it was one of the most disgusting pictures I'd ever seen. Once you see Goatse, you never forget. Metababy nown has a page redirecting people to Goatse links.
Another thing discussed (by me) was building a blog reporting network based loosely on something like the Korean site Oh My News. I doubt it could replace traditional news outlets but it could certainly fill in some of the gaps, especially with the hip scene.
Ok, here's a few pictures of the bash. No captions. You figure out who is who.

What's This?
It's me blogging here again. Imagine that.
I'm currently at Quetzal in Memphis at a Blogger Bash. People here are Chris Lawrence, Markus Seaberry, Len Clevelin, Bret Weaver, Mike Hollihan, Derek Haire (a contributor), Rachel Drinkard, Paul Ryburn and Mark Havener are in attendance.
That's all for now.
