Californication & Today's Free Items

It's been over a week now since I've played online poker. It's not fun.

I could play on FTP and the Cereus network, but I rarely play those sites, and losing so much volume on Stars makes playing there a bit fruitless and not the best use of my time, which I'm currently using to find a new residence where I can legally play poker. Plus, I'm not a big fan of breaking the law. Some people are. I'm not.

In the meantime, I'm deciding on my next location. And it looks like San Francisco, CA. Which is kind of a shame, because generally when you move somewhere with a much higher cost of living, your income increase is at least somewhat parallel. Doesn't really work that way when you're self employed. Such is life. 

More than that though, there are logistical issues to think about, such as the state of online poker in CA. Which brings me to my next point. Everyone please sign the open letter to Commerce Casino. This one takes even less time than the others, just drop in your name, city and state and press a button, voila. 

You can read more about the issue within the link and on 2+2, but essentially, one of the largest, most well known casinos in the world has put their own corporate interests ahead of the interests of the customers it serves every day. It's imperative that all poker players band together to support the industry, whether they live in WA, CA, or elsewhere. Prevention is better than cure. Apparently that's a quote from Desiderius Erasmus, a Dutch Renaissance humanist, among other titles, from the 15th and 16th centuries. But really, it's just common sense.

In other news, here are today's free items (Details in my blog post I'm Feeling Generous):



Upper left: Long sleeve, button down shirt, sized M (15 1/2)
Upper right: Laptop bag

Again, all clothes sized M. The hats and shirts will be $3 for shipping, $5 for the headphones and $7 for the bag. Enjoy!
