Do your friends complain that they've signed up for the Ed newsletter but they never get it? Set them straight: Chances are their newsletters are hanging out in their bulk mail or spam folders. Ed is personally offended that certain magazine companies' web servers consider him spamy, but there's little he can do about it. They'll have to ask to have him unblocked. Anyhoo, obviously YOU don't have this problem or you wouldn't be reading this. But spread the word, kay?

Poker Periodicals: How to Hold 'Em

Daniel Negreanu won $4 million in poker tournaments in 2004, and Card Player magazine named him Player of the Year. Another poker magazine, All In, said Negreanu "might just be the hottest poker player in the world." Recently, Negreanu consented to share his wisdom in an interview with Bluff, yet another poker mag.

Negreanu, 30, talked about his blog. He touted a line of "poker vitamins." He revealed what he listens to on his iPod during tournaments -- "the sounds of the ocean and birds chirping." And he talked about his newfound devotion to Jesus.

"Has it improved your game?" the interviewer asked. "100 percent," Negreanu said. "If you look at the timeline of my results, finding my faith and my big wins coincide."

Music journalist and best-selling author Ann Powers is leaving the Experience Music Project to become a senior critic for Blender magazine.

Powers, who co-wrote The New York Times best-seller "Piece by Piece" with singer-songwriter Tori Amos, will continue to work as a consultant for EMP on upcoming projects. Those include the annual Pop Conference organized by husband Eric Weisbard, EMP's senior curator.

"It's totally a personal decision," Powers said of her departure from EMP, where she has served as senior curator, as well as senior program manager in the education department.

It is also a great way for people currently working at a magazine to earn some extra money or for recent grads to get some experience. Basically you get paid to watch tv and the office is a fun, casual environment to work in. Warning: The work is done in the evenings and weekends so you'll have to be available to work during those times at least 3 nights a week. Those interested should forward their resumes to Tricia Couture at writerbug@hotmail.com. (OK to mention Ed)
