It's still vacation even though I'm working because the few days between Xmas and NYE really don't count. So that meant poker. Unfortunately because no friends live nearby, that poker had to be online. And because we're still gettin going here in New Haven, it had to be be for play money, taboot. Nonetheless, hitting a nice hand on the river and ropin in some suckers still feels damn good.

Then as the rain poured outside, Lu and I sat down for some OnDemand TV. The absence of Jon Stewart and the rest of The Daily Show has forced us into new viewing habits, and tonight we watched an episode of Iconoclasts. This one was Sean Penn and Jon Krakauer in Alaska, following the path of Christopher McCandless. And it was excellent TV.

But these are really creepy photos. Mouths for eyes. Whoa.

On the other hand, these are amazing bookshelves.

And you should also check out this guys impressive little performance. (via Neatorama, via boingboing). The second half of the video reveals what he was doing in the first part. Stick with it, it's pretty cool.
