I am no longer an active member of the Pork Filled Players, as of yesterday. I was with the group for 7 years.

Anyone have any plans for very early Sunday morning? If not, listen to Sandusky Radio's Gary Shipe interview me and Roger Tang! We talk about our upcoming sketch comedy show, Lard & Order: Pork Filled Intent (10/19 - 11/3)! We also talk a little bit about sketch comedy and Asian American Theatre. (I was sick when the interview was conducted, so forgive my low energy and raspy voice)

As many of you know, a long time ago I was in a (-n internationally syndicated, emmy-award winning) television show called "The Baseball Bunch". (Sometimes directed by "Smallville" executive producer Michael Tollin)

A few weeks ago, I did an interview for a retro pop cuture podcast called "Just My Show" with two of the other original Baseball Bunch kids and the San Diego Chicken!!! (aka The Famous Chicken)

It's up now! Go listen!!!
Just My Show

Hey, all. I have a new job. I'm doing the computer programming thing with a new contract at PlayNetwork. I started two weeks ago.

Basically, PlayNetwork provides the music you hear at places such as Starbucks, Hooters, Eddie Bauer, Hot Topic...

Things I'm working with or will probably work with there: ASP.NET, C#, Linux, Python, C++. Cool, eh?

I don't update this much. But I don't have a lot of contact with some of my old friends, so here: I started working at Microsoft in late April. I work for Volt. I'm a contract employee. SDET. I'm working on Windows Media Center Edition. Go buy one when Vista comes out.

This is not a blog. Want proof? If this were a blog, then I would have written an entry describing the 5-car accident I was in on Saturday the 18th. And I would have written that there were no injuries. And today I'd write another entry stating that the collision place has declared my car a total loss.

So officailly I'm ranked #2056 in 2005 by Cardplayer.com (Poker Player Ed Tonai). But they got one result wrong, so I did better than 2000. Whatever, not like I was in the running for player of the year. I should list the somewhat noteable professionals I outdid in 2005 tournaments, though.

I'm trying to figure out when I'll be playing big tournaments this year. I hope to travel to

Headline: Ed wins Ultimate Poker Challenge Tournament!!!

Yes, on Monday, November 21, 2005, I won an Ultimate Poker Challenge Tournament! They were running a series of tournaments (12) for broadcast in the summer, and I won the 6th one. Unfortunately, the turnout wasn't so great because

Here I am testing adding pictures to this.
And the test goes well.
I'm a little surprised.

Why am I doing this?
First answer: Why the hell do you care what I do? Leave me alone.
Polite reasonable answer that'll hopefully satisfy you so you'll leave me alone: I want to mess with the system so I can improve the PFP web site.
Real answer: I dunno. PFP web site, experimentation, whatever. I don't want to blog and I don't have a great need for a web site (as evidenced by how often I've updated this in the past). Sometimes I have something to say and want to say it to whomever happens to come across this site. Whatever. Let me play. Leave me alone.
