Christ Bunting of Thumb Gods: G4 Always Stays Classy
Nevada casinos can throw you out for any reason whatsoever, including card counting. Did you know that New Jersey casinos are prohibited from tossing out card counters?
Next time I take my autistic savant brother out of the hospital, we’ll have to go to NJ instead of Vegas.
Other casino gaming news: BetBug.com - new P2p gambling. Wacky. Wonder how it works…
Kevin Pratt: Mixing Get and Post on Ajax blog:
Over the past several days, I’ve been working on an in-page contact form that uses sajax (not that it really needs it, but mostly to play around with it, and get familiar with this sort of stuff) and I came upon whats most likely a rather common occurence.
Theres a verify function that only needs to send short strings back and forth, and then a submit function which sends all of the fields (and in theory is much closer to bumping into the character limit for GET); in short I want to use both GET and POST for different functions in the same page.
Nice tip, Kevin!

Patty Harder points to some Startling weight loss (search engine) statistics:
According to Overture, a Yahoo company that offers pay-per-click Internet advertising, the word “exercise” was part of a search term used by more than 237,000 visitors last month. The word “diet” was part of a search term 814,000 times.
Perhaps more startling is that the words “weight loss” were part of an Internet search term 1,415,194 times last month. Among those nearly 1.5 million “weight loss” searches, the term “weight loss product” was used 460,634 times in a single month. “Quick weight loss” generated 27,235 searches.
Honestly, no surprise there. People will always be on the lookout for the quick fix. (Now… where did I put that diet pill? J/K!)
