A nice read: "Confessions of an online poker player"
Submitted by aravind on Sun, 08/09/2009 - 20:00
Budgets are $exy has a guest article from an anonymous online poker professional titled "Confessions of an online poker player." There has been times when I have thought that I can also be a poker pro. But reading this article, I can be certain that I cannot do it in the near future. It takes a lot of commitment and will to stay the course when you are not doing that well being an online poker pro. This makes me realize why the pros were upset, during the last years WSOP main event, about not having a pro win the event for almost five straight year. Good luck to Phil Ivey, who is the only pro player in final table of this years main event.
Building a set of inexpensive golf clubs
Submitted by aravind on Thu, 07/23/2009 - 11:17
Ever since I started playing golf almost two years ago I have never purchased a pre-assembled club either name brand or no-name brand. I have always build my own clubs with club components such as the club head, shaft, grip etc. I learned to build clubs from a golf class that I took at OSU called "Golf for Business and Life." The business part was not the business of making golf clubs but rather how to use golf as a business tool. The main advantage of custom golf club fitting is that the clubs can be considerably inexpensive compare to pre-assembled clubs. Also custom built clubs may help improve the game.

A few months back I released some MATLAB code I contributed to MATLAB central under GPL. But the Mathworks sent me the e-mail early May
