Here's a simple card-counting FAQ to get you up to speed on the basics. Here's the true story of the notorious DD' blackjack team, told for the first time on the fabulous internets. No other team went from a starting investor's bankroll of zero to winning millions of dollars.

leaf jasper and andara glass spheres join the collection

2013-12-15 - 9:54 a.m.

About time I got off my duff and posted photos of the two new spheres that have joined my collection. Both were cut by Michigan artist Jim Meeker @spheremaker, and both are far superior to what my limited photography skills can hope to express.

The leaf jasper appears to be some sort of brecciated jasper, and it's the one I originally bought for myself. The huge four inch green Andara glass was originally intended to be a gift but, oh well. Once I saw it, I couldn't bear to part with it, so it became a gift to myself. It's near perfect, bubble-free glass -- Jim says he saw one bubble but I haven't found it yet -- but the flip side is that this pure glass is so reflective that I haven't yet figured out how to get a good photo. It's one to admire in person.

On another note, Jake Bugg -- the singer who always takes a shit picture because there's always a hateful look on his otherwise cute face -- has said Christmas parties are boring. Suddenly he's my new hero. Kidding, folks! Kidding!!! No, really. Kidding! I didn't say Christmas parties are hell. Jake Bugg said it. And he hates life so you know?
