I am a fan of the google labs. Gmail labs in particular is a fav of
mine, since I tend to use gmail a bunch. In a gmail dev blog post I
read this morning, I saw that google had decided to retire some of the lab

So my friend TommEE Pickles is a streaming media guru/whore, illusion enthusiast, sometimes ninja, UCB performer, magician in training, functional alcoholic, degenerate gambler, oh and a dirty haxor… you may have heard of him if not check out his blog. Well because of his many talents, he was invited out to Vegas to put on a nightly display of skills at the craps table. It’s mesmerizing. :) Tommee, was nice enough to see if I wanted to head out there an visit sin city, and since I had some money burning a hole in my pocket, I accepted…
