Thanks to Justin and Ben for the plug -

 

My blog is where the access points is for the podcasts I offer weekly, and for other thoughts as I see come down the pipe.

rofl...you may not like their music but it seems hard to deny that they are vocally talented.

American IDOL is bad, no talent at all. I watched a couple of episodes of ROCK star INXS, wow here you can see REAL talent, it makes Bo BICE look bad..very very bad. If you want real music tune in Tuesdays to Rock Star INXS ..theres good music, BUT dont stop off first and listen before hand to Candian idol it will put you off music for life

For the record:

 

Canadian Idol this year, much better than last year.

 

Rockstar INXS, not a bad concept, does have drawing power for various reasons.

 

Carrie Underwood, yowza. Talent and beauty rolled into one. She sang for Canadian Idol last week and I was impressed.

I have followed the example and started a blog also. Cannot promise updates as often as most of you, but I'll try to keep it going.

 

Also I couldn't think of a cool name like Keylime Express so it's just Gerben's Bridge Blog: http://gerbenbridge.blogspot.com/

 

:lol:

Many have asked me why I call my blog the "Keylime Express".

 

Well, the keylime part is due to the fact that I'm a FL native and that I've lived a life that has taken many dirt roads and few freeways. I chose the keylime because it's small, round, and unique - just like me (not obese but I am "round" :lol:).

 

The express part was because of two things: the house I lived at in Canada was next to an active railroad that is part of the Via Rail, and secondly it was the way I played on BBO -- many commented that they saw an express train running over opps.

 

Hence the fusion of two unique concepts.

 

Speaking of which, podcast 6 will be up in 10 days - am still getting settled and the like. :-)

I too have started a blog. It's about directing (as I just directed my first live game, and a lot of people were asking me how it went, I figured that it was easier to just post somewhere and not have to copy and paste to everyone).

 

directorcalls.blogspot.com

 

I mainly intend it as a place to post what rulings (I was going to say interesting rulings, but I doubt that there will be many) I've had to make, and for people to comment if they want to.

I have a dog that is vocally talented - an immense range - but I assure you from my neighbor's point of view it ain't singin'!

There are reality TV shows about talented animals i think, lol

Do you mean Big Brother? Some of them are hairy, but few of those animals are talented.

I've started a blog, http://dcrcbridge.blogspot.com/

 

It's mainly for bidding theory. The first page is a bit dull with a lot of general obvious stuff. But the main aim is to pick on the systems I dislike and explain why I find them so bad, which should be more fun :huh:

My blog is http://cocktailbridge.blog.hr . Blog is mix of games, results of croatian tournaments, some news and lots of links for bridge. It is 19 months old with over 140 posts.

It is written on Croatian mainly, but I included section with English texts including an interview with Justin.

 

Keep on blogging

best interview ever :unsure: but I'm biased...

I have recently started posting the text and hands from my free online lessons in blogs.

 

Actually I started this a couple of years back but did not continue it for long.

 

If you are interested here are the links:

 

BIL Lessons

 

Acol Club Bridge Lessons

 

The text is pretty random since I do not edit it much from my BBO chat logs.

 

I have also put the SAYC notes by Mark London with some comments by me about my perception of where a modern style might differ - RKCB, negative doubles to 3 or higher etc.

 

SAYC Notes

 

I have also started a private blog in which I keep a database of hands that practice. blogger.com has an a great feature where you can label a post with multiple lables and then quickly sort the posts by any label. So for example I label hands as 1NT Opening (Weak or Strong as appropriate as we play a variable NT), Jacoby Transfer, Singleton after Jacoby, Cue-Bids, RKCB ... etc

 

Then I can quickly later find all hands where we have used RKCB or opened a weak 1NT or bid a bad slam or missed a good slam or whatever label I or my partner finds useful.

In the new years spirit, I have started to blog again. Squeezing The Dummy is now back. Enjoy.

Great that you restarted blogging, however I still don't see any new posts... :)

This is a wow BBF topic .... it resurfaced after slightly more than one year of hibernation :-P

I recently discovered the blog by Ray Lee. I recommend it highly.

 

Ray is the principal of Master Point Press, the world's leading publisher of bridge books, a former President of the CBF, was editor and Publisher of MasterPoint (?) the defunct monthly bridge magazine. As you'd expect he writes well, and what he writes is worth reading.
