I’m happy to report my computer is no longer overheating. 
A co-worker of mine suggested I check the thermal compound; sure enough, it was toast, so I walked down to Fry’s(again) and picked up a small tube of Arctic Silver. I followed the instructions given on their website and 30 minutes later things were much cooler.
It amazes me that a drop of liquid no bigger than a grain of rice can make such a difference in temperature.
Thanks for the tip Pat!
I’ll be heading to Las Vegas this summer with my brother Mike to play in the World Series of Poker. I’ll be playing in the $1500 NL event on June 9th. He plans on playing in both the 1500 and 2000 NL events. I’ll be there for six days, and I plan on updating my blog with my progress during the action.
I’m super excited to play in my first WSOP event. ESPN has been replaying last year’s televised events quite a bit lately. I don’t think the event I’m planning on playing in is scheduled for any TV time, but that’s ok. I think that would make me even more nervous. In preparation, I’ve been playing more poker and re-reading my poker books. I’d certainly be happy with making the money.
