Wii Fit

We got the Wii fit for Christmas. It is an amazing device. I thought how could this possibly help me get fit? The exercises seem so easy. I know think differently. The geniuses at Nintendo have come up with some very creative ways to help you stay fit while having fun. You get a trainer, it tracks your progress and provides all kinds of fun and exciting games. You can even level up to try new and other interesting activities. The games are simple enough that young children can do them, but challening for us out of shape adults as well. All for less than a one month membership at a gym. Genius!!

Custom Poker Table Felts

Want to trick out your poker table? Try a custom poker table felt. These felts are made with speed cloth and dye-sub ink. If you are not familiar with speed cloth it is the premier cloth in the industry. Liquid actually beads up on the material. If someone spills a drink you simply get a towel and it absorbs into the towel not the felt.




Additionally, dye-sublimation is the same technique the casinos use to put the most intense graphics on their tables. Silkscreen looks ok for simple designs, but if you want wicked cool graphics you will need to use dye sublimation. It will certainly make your friends jealous. The best part about this company is that you can put any design you want or pick from one of their pre-made designs. This is really popular for local charity casino companies who want to brand themselves but not pay through the nose.

Poker Verdict

I always love learning more about poker. There is a great deal to read about traditional casino players, but oftentimes online players take a back seat. http://www.pokerverdict.com changes that by having in-depth profiles of some of the top online players. One of my personal favorites is KrazyKanuck from UltimateBet.com. They have a full write up on this guy with links to his articles and other resources. They also have info on all kinds of other players. As an online player I find it interesting to hear more about the top players on all of the different gaming sites.

Play with the House's Money

Free poker cash is certainly the best kind of cash there is. What I like even better is signing up for a new account, getting a big fat deposit bonus and winning like crazy. How can you lose when you don't even start with your own money? I really like the site pokercash4free.com because they let you do just that. They cover all the major casinos online to help you kill it at the poker tables.

Toronto Weddings

It seems that all of my friends are getting married lately. I think you are always hearing about niche specialties online, but I was surprised when one of my friends told me about on online retailer specializing in wedding dresses in toronto. I guess their is a niche for everyone. Their claim to fame is "Find Your Dream Dress in our bridal store in Toronto: wedding dresses, bridal gowns, evening, bridesmaids and mother of the bride dresses for rent and sale." I find it nice to have a site that allows you to rent as well. I know when I got married my wife's dress cost an arm and leg. Not to mention how much everyone else had to pay as well. If you're in Canada then I would certainly check them out.

Dart Boards

Yes, if you finish your basement you must have a dartboard. You can check the man law I am positive it is in there. If you're going to look someplace I would start with Winʼs Dart Boards. They have a large selection of traditional dart boards, electronic dart boards, cabinets, soft and steel tip darts. I prefer the electronic dart boards because I am totally lazy and counting is hard. Plus I have a fetish for things that light up and blink. Seriously though if you have a finished basement you totally need a dart board. One of the other things I liked about Win's is that they carried a standing cabinet so you don't have to hang something from the wall. It reminds me of a grandfather clock. A very nice touch.

Wedding Favors

Guys, let's face it. When it comes to planning the wedding we typically get an F. Maybe that is because so much of the stuff has to be selected by the bride. There is the dress, tiara and all sorts of other things. A place you can step it up is in the wedding favors. Bestforbride.com despite its name is a place you and your future Mrs. can shop together. Sure there is lots of girl stuff, but as a man you need to step up and check out the wedding favors. They have tons of cool items whether you want to go traditional, artsy or humorous. I'm particularly fond of the ducks. So step up, find some cool favors or cake toppers and say you've done your part.

DonkeyFish

In case you couldn't tell I really like poker. I probably spend way too much on this stuff, but why not it's awesome. They have lots of stuff such as articles and forums. I like their apparel section because it contains some unique off the cuff clothing for poker players. They also have some wicked downloads. These images are perfect for screen savers or social networking avatars. Don't forget to check out the flash movie, it's sure to become a cult classic. If you love poker with edge you'll really need to check http://www.donkeyfishpoker.com for all the poker apparel.

Juggling Meets Poker

What do juggling and poker have in common? Not much unless you visit kingscascade.com. Actually there are quite a few similarities if you are into stuff like chip tricks and learning to juggle or entertain. I like the content on juggling best. It has this really cool java juggling simulator that lets you input different variables and watch this stickman juggle based on what you put in. Just like the picture above. I learned a couple of new tricks. My kids always look amazed when I show them something cool and new. The master himself also has an entire video series to help you learn how to juggle. Very good resource.

Pimp My Poker

Poker chips and cards are really fun to customize. Not only are they good for personal use, but they are great giveaways for trade shows and other corporate events. I've come across two different sites that specialize in this little trick and promise a quick turn around. Admagic Custom Playing Cards Personalized Fast and the poker consultants Custom Poker Chips Personalized Fast. They also do the dye sublimation on ceramic chips which is the same technique many casinos use.

Discount Casino Gear

It's no secret that I love everything poker, but what about all of the other great casino stuff. Yes, I love that too. Discount casino gear not only carries items like poker chips they also carry all kinds of other supplies like billiards, darts and things to decorate your next game room. How about roulette or slots? They carry a huge selection of slot machines. What surprised me most was the pricing. Did you know you can get an authentic slot machine for under $200. I've known a couple of people that give these as gifts to older people. You just can't ship them to Louisiana or Colorado. Wierd. It has something to do with the fact that they have legalized gambling in those states. If you're looking to deck out for a new game room discount casino gear is a great place to start.

Dominate Online Poker

The name says it all doesn't it. I think that is the dream of every online poker player. For some of us it is easier than others. It is always good if you are just starting out to get some free poker cash. There are plenty of sites such as dominateonlinepoker.com that give you money to start out at a new online poker site. I'm a big believer that it is always better to play with someone else's money if possible. The other thing I really like about this site is the abundance of poker tools available. If you go through them you can get a free short subscription instead of paying for it up front. This is a great way to try out the different tools to see which one you like. I've used several of these tools and they can dramatically enhance your understanding of how to play poker. They will at least get your mind thinking in the right framework. I don't know if you will play any better, but it won't be because you don't have the right information. Sometimes the hardest part of poker sits right between your ears.

Robomow

Starting at $1,000 the robomow isn't cheap. In fact it might be cheaper to just hire someone to cut your grass. There just isn't that geek satisfaction factor of having a robot cut your grass. Plus there is nothing like a cool gadget to turn the Jones's green with envy. You should drop some subtle hints to your kids for next father's day that the robomow is the way to go. You can get it from some large retailers like Sam's Club, Amazon or Target. You can also get it direct from the company. If you want to see it in action check out the video below.

Poker Tips with KGB

Godfrey Daniel's online poker tips are a great place for all kinds of information about how to play poker. What I like best about the site is the awesome collection of t-shirts. If you've played poker than you have certainly seen the movie rounders. Who can fit the legendary character KGB. Why not show your support and get a KGB t-shirt. This is my favorite, but there are many different shirts to choose from. Another favorite of mine is the hello my name is sticker that says "all in." Totally hilarious. These are some of the coolest and most original poker t-shirts I've come across.

USB Office Toys (Missle Launcher)

I don't think your office is complete until you have one of these bad boys. This is especially if you work in an open cube area with no partitions between you or anyone else. The missile launcher is the ultimate annoy your buddy thing. Just be sure to stock up on some extra missiles. I've seen some other cool USB devices such as the light and the usb pole dancer. I think you have to be careful with her though because some people may not find it as funny, particularly at the office. None the less with a spirit of adventure there are certainly all kinds of new devices coming out all the time.
