So I have found myself watching alot of poker on TV lately. I must say i’m a fan and a few days ago I started playing poker online with my mountains of free time and I am fairly decent at it for just jumping in and am planning on researching it a bit further. If anyone knows of any good resources for learning to play poker feel free to leave a comment. I have also been doing some research online and have found some good reviews of books.
I figure the best way to get some experience is to find a local game to start playing in or to play in local tournaments. Obviously continuous practice is one of the best ways to go as there is no match for experience. Online play I have noticed is decent, but not the best way to get good at poker is it takes many of the elements of the game away. Plus it is easy to cheat at online poker by writing a bot to play the game for you calculating everything and making the best play.
The payout possibilities in this game are amazing. I went online today and grabbed $200 of fake money and ’sat’ at a virtual poker table. An hour later I had $2500. If I was playing real money poker it would most likely have been a $20 buy in but still that would have yielded $250! You probably won’t see me on the World Poker Tour anytime soon … but definately expect to hear more about poker from me.

Take this survey to figure out which type of english you speak. Personally, ever since I saw Die Hard: With A Vengeance I have maintained that I speak two languages … English and Bad English. Alas this web survey would put that to question. Enjoy :)

Now that I have decided what I want to do for a living, which is develop software for the Mac, I thought I would look into schools to gain some education and that all inclusive piece of paper that is required for 90% of jobs. To my dismay I have not found any schools that offer any courses on Mac development. Tons of courses on Windows development. Not even very much *nix development. So my question is this, does anyone know of any schools that offer courses in this? I know there are things such as the Big Nerd Ranch, but that is just a week long crash course, I am looking to get into a 4 year university and major in Software Development with a main focus(at least SOME focus?) on developing for the Mac in Objective-C.
