TripJax, CineJax and ScriptJax
Wednesday, January 24, 2007
As the future of our little online poker world remains in limbo of late, I've decided to focus on a few other things in life. I haven't played poker in a couple of days and that has not bothered me at all. While I am very disappointed and concerned about the state of online poker, I'm trying not to let it destroy the enjoyment I get out of poker in general, as well as this blog. That said, I should be back at the online tables soon and am planning some live home game poker as well.
So other than poker, what have I been doing lately? Well, because I know the world needs one more blog, I've decided to start another one. Specifically, I started CineJax, a movie review blog. I can hear the crickets chirping already. Don't expect anything stellar out of this little project, but if you find yourself looking for something to watch (or possibly avoid), then drop by on occasion to see what I'm thinking. I will occasionally link to it from this blog as a reminder when I have a new review. This is not a review for money blog, just a side project for me to have a little fun with.
Strangely enough, my latest review is of High Roller: The Stu Ungar Story. So there's that.
At the tail end of last year, I also started another blog in an attempt to write a story. I originally named it Jax-tu-pose, but that was a little over the top, so I've renamed it ScriptJax. I think that name keeps with the "Jax" theme well. As for my first story, I finished Chapter One with no issues, but then I hit a big fat plot problem. I guess that's what I get for starting a story that was still incomplete in my head. I've been mulling the plot over for the last month and just recently started chapter two after working out some kinks. I hope to have it out by Monday.
For those of you who commented on Chapter One, thank you and I apologize for it taking so long to spit out Chapter Two.
If you look at the top of my blog header, you'll see a "Check It:" section. That's where I'm keeping any and all of my side projects. TripJax is still my main baby, but sometimes I need a break from poker.
On a side note, I have no visions of grandeur with these blog projects, but I have been thinking that I should put some type of copyright on my blog projects. I recall reading something a while back about creative commons, but I'm not sure what that is. Can anyone please comment and point me in the right direction for protecting the tripe that I write on this internet thing. Well, that is it for today. I have a few poker posts in draft form and should have them out later this week.
Until next time, may the felt be with you.

Yeah, it's a good mix of breakfast cereal and cheap late night soft core porn channel (cinemax).
I figured I would run with it... -

Technically, as soon as you write it, your posts you have a copyright. The problem is that without registering, you have to prove that your work predates the copier. If you are really concerned, I would just add a disclaimer at the bottom of your blog stating that all work is copyrighted and cannot be copied absent written consent from the webmaster. You might have to include your real name for it to carry some more wait.
I'm not sure how helpful that information is. -
