Damnit. I am now not the first person that comes up with you type "Hubert Chen" into google. This blog was created specifically for that purpose, and it's failing me. So everyone, link to this page. And we'll teach Hubert Chen from Caltech a lesson.

For some reason, I'm linked to a lot of old friends via Orkut, especially those from my days at UM. I'm not sure why my friends have all started to use it while friendster has been around quite a bit longer. Maybe it was the performance issues with friendster which really caused the site to suck. Maybe it's just a localized thing with just this group of friends.

Congrats Dave. My friend Dave has won a satellite at Paradise Poker to win an entry into the $10,000 buyin World Series of Poker. He played a $25 tournament with rebuys and he did have to rebuy, so his $50 investment turned into a prize package worth $12,000. The package includes the $10,000 buyin plus $2,000 in travel money. So in May, he'll be going to Las Vegas in hopes of becoming the next world champ. Because of the fad popularity of poker, this year is sure to top last years 839 entrants. There should be at least $2.5 million to first place and another $6 million to everyone else. It's kinda funny, but Paradise requires that you wear their hat or t-shirt to the event. So look for a guy in Paradise Poker gear.
