Here is an overdue update. Quite a bit has happened. [b]Activity:[/b] [b]Sleep[/b] - I sleep even more than I did before now averaging 7 hours 46 minutes per 24 hour period. My lucid dreams have decreased as I have not been putting in the effort to have them. I have been procrastinating on getting back to doi...

I played about 3 million hands, mostly cash games, over 10,000 tournaments, and had done a great deal of analysis on my play. At the end of 2009, even though I was doing better than ever in poker, I felt like the game had become a job. After doing research and speaking with a bunch of botters I knew it was ...

Training to lucid dream is a lot of work, at least it was for me, but I think it's worth it. Dreaming is something everyone does almost daily for their entire lives and it unlocks a vast new aspect to your life. I got into it more than 10 years...

I've been recording all my drug intake by dosage and time with the exception of nicotine for the past 18 months. The reason I've excluded nicotine is because my intake has been minimal and it's difficult to keep track of. I started making a few charts of the various drugs in my system (removing the mor...

I've also done some mining on and off over the years. With a $3k investment in May I've been doing casual GPU mining on altcoins and have managed to make about $16k profit. I actually lost out on well o...

I've been recording all the data I reasonably can that probably has a significant correlation for the past 80 days.

I'm cutting it pretty close but I want to sell out up to 50% of my action at $125 per 1%. I've played over 10k tournaments online with marginal results. Maybe 80-100k profit lifetime.

I do too many things on my linux box to consider dual boot windows, so I just played poker in a Windows XP VM.
