That guy married this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Anka when he was 60 or so I find that amusing in many ways.

My friend Jens did what could very well be the best Spotify playlist I've seens so far: http://open.spotify.com/user/rednalluk/playlist/7fnArMGNYwDpuYH5aTuBtH

I have pretty decent Christmas list too, haven't worked on it yet this year, but it's fairly popular both some friends and some random what I assume is poker players since I linked it here last year: http://open.spotify.com/user/dammk%c3%a4rlek/playlist/3yKzxdPWid5CqK0ei2h3OD It's more of a classic rock Christmas.

I've had a very, very good 2 weeks or so since I hit my last milestone and decided to try out prima again. Up a ton after putting 1.2k on the site just to play around a little bit. If I Not bad, not bad at all. Anyway, together with a few half decent months this fall my year shaped up to be decentish. Not good by any means, but at least ok. Not sure about my plans for next year, I might just try to keep a roll on a few different sites and tables select a little to get the variance down. Not sure though! I kind of like variance.

Promised to give 1k€ to charity if I win more then 30k€ this month. Seems like I just might do that. I think I'll give it to Nations Cry.

Home

Nations Cry is a humanitarian organization focused on improving education in the developing world. Building schools, improving curriculum and training teachers are just a few of the ways that Nations Cry is helping to build a better future for children in West Africa and Central America.

Nations Cry uses extreme financial discretion, spending money only when required and where it is most effective. Our Financial Promise is that 100% of the donations received are used exclusively for humanitarian projects.

Our goal is to create a legacy for future generations by empowering those in need through long-term, sustainable solutions.

On their homepage they give a financial promise stating that:

1. 100% of the funds donated to “The Storehouse” will be spent on direct humanitarian related activities. 0% of these funds will be spent on administrative expenses.
2. No salary will be paid to any individual working for Nations Cry
3. Nations Cry will spend money when and where it is needed most without exception

That's how a organisation like this should work. The guy in charge of this is Nolan Watson who I've blogged about a fair bit earlier. I'm a serious fan of his.

Rather buy a round of clothes and lots of food and give it to needy people. That feel when you see you made a bunch of people happy is astonishing.

Well it's a matter of taste. I think I prefer it my way, more bang for the buck and less work for me. Good suggestion though.

There's a film about Paul Anka early in his career. It's funny because I think his manager or whatever said that he'd be the biggest thing ever (and he was) ... but then The Beatles came out next year and swept away everything.

Happy goat burning to you Swedes, ya barbarians.
