Wear the logo, go to jail. Harsh, but effective.
There is a common misconception among golfers that scrambles and best ball tournaments are the same. Some even say “best ball scramble,” but there really is no such thing. The guy (or gal) who came up with the terminology must have been drunk or crazy, because both are very misleading.
I’ll be going to Philadelphia from August 15th to the 20th to take an SQL training class for work. Has anyone been there before? I’ll be in class until 4:30 or 5:00 each day, but I need some things to do at night. Where are the hot spots and what are the must sees?
Sony has come out with a new remote control that runs Linux. It has a 200 MHz processor, 32 megabytes of on-board memory, a USB interface, and a Memory Stick media slot. I need one!
Ocean’s Twelve, the sequel to Ocean’s Eleven isn’t due out for months, but I dying to see it. Ocean’s Eleven is one of my favorite movies and the entire cast of Ocean’s crew is back for the second installment. There is a trailer out, but it doesn’t give any actual scenes from the movie, which I think is pretty cool. It helps to build up the anticipation. Will it be another sequel that flops or a hit at the box office? Since all of the main characters are back, I’m willing to bet it will stand up to the expectations and may even be better than the original.
Carthik has started a site for WordPress news. It’s called WordLog and sounds like a great idea. I’ve added it to the links section of my sidebar so that I can tell when it’s updated. I’m not quite sure what “Alpha Users” are, but I’m listed there. Maybe Carthik will be contacting me soon…
Over the past few months I have not been active at all in the Support Forums, compared to before when I was one of the top 5 posters there. Part of me feels bad, but part doesn’t. I think I’ve mainly stopped visiting the forums because too many people ask the same questions over and over. It got old pretty quick when I kept referring people to the Wiki or to the same posts all the time. A few times a week I’ll get an email or IM from someone needing help, which I’m always glad to do, but I wish people would at least try to figure things out on their own first. Search the forums, visit the Wiki, use Google, browse other WP blogs, and if you can’t find your answer ask someone who might know. WordLog should help to resolve some of these problems in communication by being a central location for plugin and hack announcements.
I wonder if anyone has ever proposed to their woman online. Picture it like this…you have a blog, which your girlfriend checks every few days. You decide to post your marriage proposal on the web for her to read. A few days later, she checks your site and SURPRISE! I’m sure it’s already been done […]
An all new meaning of “convenience store.” 7-Eleven gives lottery results on their site.
While the site was down the for the past few days I’ve figured out my golf game. On Thursday night for league, I shot a 38, finally getting into the 30’s for the first time this summer. It was long overdue! Then this weekend I want to Sterling Heights to visit Jere for a few days. We played 18 yesterday and it was my best 18 hole score ever. I shot a 42 on the front 9 (with an 8 on the last hole!) and a 40 on the back 9 for an 82. We also shot 9 holes today, but I was pretty hungover from Saturday night. I managed to shoot a 49, but just wasn’t into it. I already have plans to play Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday this week. Now it’s time to work on getting more consistent with my swing before the big golf trip to Boyne Highlands at the end of August.
Lance Armstrong won the Tour de France today for a record 6th straight year. Amazing!
