Poker Night: Part Deux

June 29th, 2008

Last night, we hosted another poker night, and this time I managed to win it.  The field was seven people this time, and I started off really slow.  Everyone was playing super tight, and so every time I raised, they’d fold.  Then I lost about half my chip stack an hour in; I had pocket [...]

Uplink: Hacker Elite

June 27th, 2008

Released in 2001, Uplink: Hacker Elite is a gem of a game that too few people have ever played.  I only heard of it this week, when doing some Wikipedia cruising about hacking.  In the game, you take on the role of a hacker who recently joined a hacking alliance called Uplink.  From your humble [...]

Gregg Gillis, the mashup master behind Girl Talk, continues right where he left off with Night Ripper. While the album doesn’t offer as many standout moments as it’s predecessor, Gillis continues to find ways to combine a plethora [...]

Here’s to nothing

June 18th, 2008

I finally was able to get my site (alutz dot com) up and running.  It’s been a few months since I decided to launch a website, which has been both exciting and frustrating.  I sorted out the design and content a while back, and one weekend decided to upload it.  However, the host I had [...]
