Sony Cybershot DSC-T100 Camera

This past weekend I met up with a friend of mine who just bought a new camera and was showing it off. I happen to be in the market for a camera, since I would like to take some good pictures and possibly video of the cottage as I build it and post them on the blog. […]

Building a Cottage: Red Tape

Last time I updated the progress of the cottage I hadn’t had much in the way of good news. I found out I would have to fill half of my lot for the septic bed, which would cost far more then I had planned and would knock out most of my trees. […]

Things have gone from ok to horrible. Last post I explained how I felt playing good cards would be the right move in the long run and I still believe that to be true. I also explained that you will go on tilt every once in a while, which is also true. […]

NHL Finals

Well the Stanley Cup Finals are set. The Ottawa Senators will play the Anaheim Mighty Ducks just as I predicted. This is going to be a heck of a series.

Poker Sunday: Week 2 – Beating a Losing Streak

It’s been a couple of weeks since my last update due to Mother’s Day being last Sunday. Well I’m still alive and kicking, but have taken a serious hit. The past two weeks have gone from me thinking I’m a poker genius to being a poker moron. As of the last update Poker Sundays – Win Money I was up $751 from the initial $200 investment. […]

Make Money With Acquire

One of my favourite board games is called Acquire. It’s not a very flashy game. The board is a simple grid and alphanumeric tile pieces represent hotels that fit in the grid, but there is a lot of strategy, forecasting, and deception involved.

The game is all about making money, […]

NBA

The Utah Jazz are the first team to make it to the Conference Finals after beating the Golden State Warriors in 5 games. It looks like Golden State used up all their emotion and energy knocking off the number one seed Dallas Mavericks in the first round. […]
