Ok, so I haven't updated since Swami54 ran over me in the unofficial 2R last longer. But that doesn't mean I haven't been busy. Oh no, in fact it's been just this side of chaos at chez Edmond.

First, I was in NY last week and took Adanthar and his wife on a little tour of my stomping grounds when he had a moment in between AP scandal updates. For those interested, here's a little taste of the tour as presented by an award-winning film-maker.

Note by Note - The Making of L1037

By the way, that trailer features a comment by Harry Connick, Jr., a New Orleans native and jazz pianist. You may have seen him in Will & Grace. See him in concert...with a girl.

Second, I got my wife an iPhone for her recent birthday and while the activation of said phone was a breeze, the upgrade of her computer (because it didn't have USB 2.0 port) was less so. Ended up getting her and new MacBook Pro and after a couple of days of screwing around with iTunes libraries and a other file transfers, that little nightmare's over. On the plus side, she likes her phone. She did, though, ask me if I thought it was too big for the case I got her. I was like..."Are you seriously asking me if your phone looks fat in that case?" She's the best.

Third, had to work on a couple of letters of rec ...one for a guy who used to work for me--last minute, London School of Economics...he's now in. And then one for a friend's son's PRESCHOOL application. That admission is pending. LA's a sick place.

Finally, we've been working on lots of cool new site improvements. Over the next few weeks---server willing--you'll see some great features for live tournament updating, exclusive video/instructional content, an interview with a High Stakes Poker player and a home page redesign to improve site navigation. I haven't had this much trouble sitting still since Season 1 of Prison Break. Seriously.

Sounds like the wife made out by getting an I phone. Not sure why you would need a USB 2.0 port when the end that plugs into the computer is standard USB. Maybe it was one of those old claims. The touch screen is big enough to play on line cards, I intend to test that theory. I tunes, latest version update which is free with any software update will allow the phone to be recognized.
As for the fat comment, Sounds just like my wife, Recently my uncle passed and she said to me I'm so sorry for your loss but am I fat? I love her too!!!

And to think that all this time you led me to believe that the iphone was yours. What kind of friend are you?

Harlem, a computer with a regular USB port won't recognize the iPhone; it needs 2.0 because it charges through that as well. And, kong, I wouldn't be proper tech support if I didn't familiarize myself with one, too, now would I?

Looking forward to the added goodies on the site. Sorry I don't talk tech.

Wives sure are great. Whatever would we do without them?

I loled at your wifes "is my iphone fat" comment. Can't wait for the updates, hope they run smoothly.
