Poker and Poker Tables

November 22nd, 2008 Comments(0)

My relatively small interest in poker is on the rise, from not knowing hardly any hands a few years back, to now playing on a somewhat regular basis. I enjoy playing every now and then, be it either playing online on the Xbox 360 or at a friends poker evening every couple of weeks; I am yet to look into playing for cash online, but I would like to. I am slowly getting better, and have been looking into getting my own set of chips and possibly even a table, it would be nice to be able to host a casual evening of texas hold’em with some friends.

Flop2River.com sells a variety of poker tables, and have a fair few to choose from, be it different sizes, colours or shapes! In addition to tables they also sell cards, chips, guards and more. Sure there sites design is a little out dated but it is secure, and they offer live chat too if you require help when making a purchase. So if you are in the US and have an interest in poker be sure to check them out, as they have an impressive range of goods on offer. Check them out!

Gmail gets themes

November 20th, 2008 Comments(1)
Gmail, the popular email service from Google which launched back in 2004 and is still in some form of beta, yesterday announced that a choice of themes are now available, this news comes only days after the Gmail team added loads of new ‘labs’ options along with video chat right within Gmail. The themes are being introduced to allow users to spice up the look of there inbox, if they so desire.

All you have to do if you want to change the look of your favorite email service is head on over to the settings page, and hit the theme tab, once there you will be presented with a healthy selection of new themes to choose from, ranging from simple colour tweaks to radical background changes. I think I will probably just go for a simple colour change as I like the simplicity of my ever busy inbox.

If you can’t see the option to choose a theme yet, fear not, as Google are rolling out the update to all users over the next few days. Be sure to let me know what theme you choose by leaving a comment.
