Hey Readers,

Moving on towards the middle of June (holy crap this year is FLYING) things are going great. I am keeping myself super busy with a lot of poker related stuff, unfortunatley that means my social life has been on the back burner, but my friends will hopefully still accept me if I abandon them for a few weeks.

I have decided to buy myself a few goodies so as the title says my credit card is getting a bit of a beating (for what its worth, I am normally not a person who spends much money on myself).

Logitech kb/mouse combo:

It is going to take some getting used to, but the keyboard is a nice upgrade from the 3+ year old keyboard I used to have. This new one is packed with extra features like the LCD display (can display time, outside temp, current song being played in iTunes.. etc).

The Zotac Zbox:

I bought this little beauty for watching TV shows and movies on my TV after some recommendation and help from my friend Jason. It is basically a tiny little PC that holds 1 hard drive but can connect to the rest of my computers at home via wireless or cabled networking. I am looking forward to spending some solid time on the couch watching some movies new and old.

Third on the list is the Logitech Harmony One universal remote control:

This bad boy can basically control any device that receives an IR (infared) signal. Instead of having 1 remote for each device in your main living area a universal remote can be programmed to control all of them with ease. I can sit on the couch, turn the heater on, switch between pay tv, digital tv, dvd player, my new pc (as above) all from this remote. Genius I know!!

My poker results going from May into June haven’t slowed down. I finished my staking contract with my coach and we ended on good terms with both of us making a lot of money. I have decided to play the mid stakes poker games on my own money for a higher level of risk for myself, hopefully yielding a higher return.

June so far:

I am also in the midst of producing my first video for http://www.DeucesCracked.com (the poker coaching website I mentioned in my last blog post) which will hopefully done by weeks end, however I am not going to rush it as I want the video to be top notch.

That’s all for now,

Newman.
