Over the past week I’ve had a problem with spammers hitting my comment form hardcore both here and at 2 Hole Cards so hard it was crashing the web host server. They had to disable the sites and it looks like the spammers have moved along. Just to help out for future attacks, I’ve upgraded [...]

Horizontal vs. Vertical Space
April 24, 2007 – 1:30 pm
I love my 50 inch LCD wide screen TV.
I love my 13 inch wide screen MacBook.
I just hooked up a 19 inch wide screen high definition display as my primary monitor at work and moved my normal 19 inch to a secondary monitor. I’m not quite sure I like the wide screen display. If I [...]
Knock Knock
April 24, 2007 – 8:58 am
One thing I don’t like about being a homeowner is all the knocks at my front door. Everybody wants something. Yesterday it was some young kid looking for signatures, donations, and people to write letters to the Senator for the Michigan trash problem. Now that the weather has warmed up it seems like I’m getting [...]
Eliminate the Big Numbers
April 24, 2007 – 8:56 am
One of the weaknesses in my game right now is the dreaded “big number.” I’ll end up taking an 8 on a hole and lately it seems to end up being the last hole of the day pretty often. On Friday I shot 46-42 with an 8 on hole #18 at Swan Valley. Saturday I [...]
Google Docs & Spreadsheets Finally Add Charts
April 18, 2007 – 10:20 am
I had a little fun charting golf stats with the new charts functionality in Google Docs & Spreadsheets.
Charting Golf
April 18, 2007 – 10:17 am
I’ve been keeping track of every round of golf I play since 2000. I’m a little weird like that. Does anyone else do this? I don’t keep track of putts, birdies, sand saves, or anything extravagant like that. Date, course, and score are what I save into a little spread sheet which is has a [...]
Whiffs
April 18, 2007 – 9:18 am
It didn’t take long to fail at one of my goals for the 2007 golf season. Yesterday I went to Valley View Farm Golf Course. After 5pm right now they have all you can golf with cart for $15. It’s supposed to be $30 for a two-some, but the guy let me get away with [...]
H&R Block Knows the Value of a Customer
April 16, 2007 – 1:35 pm
I usually do my own taxes, but with the sale of pokerchiptricks.com and all of the other miscellaneous income from web sites this year, I was more than a little confused. I started with the free TaxCut federal version from H&R Block. Once I got to the part for State taxes, I went ahead and [...]
Tax Day 2007
April 16, 2007 – 1:19 pm
I just mailed out checks for my 2006 taxes and estimated tax payments for the first quarter of 2007. Are your taxes done?
Fatblogging
April 16, 2007 – 9:11 am
A few months ago Jason Calacanis started a flatblogging revolution. He challenged bloggers to work on their health and fitness, writing about it along the way. Well, I’ve been working out consistently for over a year now and haven written about it in awhile. Back on February of last year, I wrote about my weight [...]
Never Again
April 16, 2007 – 8:31 am
On Saturday we played 18 holes at Sandy Ridge. Nine holes would have been plenty. The weather forecast was calling for a high just over 50. It never went above 42 and with the wind chill it had to feel about 35 or colder. I shot a 41 on the front 9 finishing double bogey [...]
FaceBall at Flickr
April 13, 2007 – 7:40 pm
Someday I want to work at a place which plays fun games like Faceball at Flickr.
What is a "Hoya"?
April 12, 2007 – 12:47 pm
While watching Georgetown during March Madness this year, the question came about their nickname and “What is a Hoya?” We thought it might be some type of bulldog, but after looking it up, I don’t quite feel so stupid for not knowing what a Hoya actually is. No one really knows.
Review: 300
April 12, 2007 – 12:43 pm
I went to see 300 at an IMAX the week it came out. We drove from Saginaw all the way to Lansing one night after work, which put the total drive time around 3 hours. That’s a lot of driving to see a movie when I could have went 2 miles down the road from [...]

April SNOW Showers
April 7, 2007 – 8:51 am
Last Sunday was it was 70 and sunny. I was out golfing. It was April Fools Day and the joke was on us. The past few days have brought temperatures in the 20s and snow. I drove up to Rogers City last night and ran into a snow storm with 2 inches of fresh snow. [...]
Michigan Basketball Will Rise
April 4, 2007 – 3:57 pm
With John Beilein coming to coach the University of Michigan, maybe we can get excited about something other than football again. He did a great job at West Virginia.
Shooting in the High 60s
April 1, 2007 – 10:57 pm
60 degrees. It actually was supposed to get up to 70 today, but I’m not sure if it did. Played 9 holes at Beech Hollow with Tom and lost by a stroke. He’s on his high horse because I usually beat him by 5-10 strokes for 9 holes and now he’s beat me two days [...]
460cc Drivers
April 1, 2007 – 9:50 am
I’ve been playing a Makser AS440 for the past couple of years and it’s the only driver I’ve ever hit consistently straight. My friend Tom recently bought one of the new Ping Raptures and now instead of out driving him by 30-40 yards, he is sticking right with me or bombing it longer. I’d really [...]
