... if you're not reading The Tao of Gaming, you should no longer call yourself a gamer. You might as well go out and buy a deluxe edition of Uno.

The Boston Sports Guy has an article (including a picture) of Boston Gamer Mike Zarren (whom some of you may know). Mike is the Celtics stats guy. Nothing really interesting beyond that, though.
All props to Mike for not looking terribly dorky in that picture. It helps that he's the only in-shape guy with hair.

87, LHO opens 2C. Unsurprisingly, partner finds a bid. Surprisingly, it is 2D. RHO Bids 2NT alerted as showing 10+. White versus red, I decide to content myself with 6D. Slam could easily make or a grand could make, or slam could be down.
LHO bid 6H - partner passed (of course) and RHO raised to 7H, passed out.

Now, and this is the amazing thing, declarer starts bitching about the raise! Honestly, I would have bid 8H with that hand and redoubled confidently. No real lesson here (except that opening 2C with strong but not overwhelming two suited hands is just asking for trouble). (LHO was 3604 and didn't even have the Spade Jack or Club Queen).
No real point to the story, except my incredulity at declarer.
I've discovered secret tapes of the Battlestar Galactica's executive producers discussing what to do to wrap up BSG. Needless to say, they contain spoilers.
Lets just say that personally, I hope that's what happened. The ending is more annoying intellectually than emotionally, and Moore & Eck can claim that they've been playing up the, uh, angle they used since the first episode (true enough), but still. There were a few things I really liked about the last episode. But I'm glad it's over. I may watch the Plan. Caprica? Probably not.
I also have a secret tape of Alan Moore after he snuck out to see Watchmen, but it's just several hours of laughter and "I told them so." Not a bad flick, per se ...
So, what do your secret tapes tell you?
