It’s good to see you, too.
Full Tilt Poker gave me a warm welcome back:
It’s also nice to see that the latest versions of PokerTracker and GameTimePlus work with FTP. I think I’ll go for that 50% reload bonus and splash around to keep some of the local boys fat and happy.

One thousand four hundred sixty-eight bloggers?
It’s a good thing Pokerstars emailed me about this afternoon’s blogger tourney, or I might have slept right through it. Pretty much in the same way that I slept through the fact that Stars has a blog dedicated to this tourney; they’ve been naming names and prizing prizes to various blogs out there, including SoCal’s very own Geek and Proud. Alan should get props just for having created the terror alert box, not to mention the poker content. Belated congratulations!
In other news, Studioglyphic Blog has sold out to the fastest growing poker site on the net, Full Tilt Poker. The only poker site designed by the world’s best players. While some of the staff members here at SG Central have protested this new move, grousing about outdated ideals such as journalistic integrity and bias-free blogging, I for one welcome our new corporate overlords, and look forward to seeing a FullTilt banner on every page (Hey, if Myspace can survive a NEW$Corp acquisition, I think this little blog will do just fine).
See you at the tourney.
