A look inside a casino card shuffling machine
This is interesting. I've always wondered what these professional shuffling devices looked like inside. From what I've read, these machines are capable of not only doing a random shuffle of cards, but they are also capable of being programmed with set card orders which the machine can re-order on the fly by reading each card.
Pretty cool.
Topps releases Garbage Pail Kids for Iowa Caucus
These are expensive as hell, but I'm tempted to buy a set of these Garbage Pail Kids fashioned after our favorite Iowa Caucus Presidential running mates. Represented in this set are Berserk Bernie, Brainy Ben, Donald Dump, Joyless Jeb, and Hounded Hillary.
The entire set of 5 will cost you $29.99 or you can buy each card individually for $9.99 each.
