Knuckle Cracking
May 29, 2007 – 9:15 am
Not only do I crack my knuckles all the time, but I also crack a lot of other joints like elbows, ankles, and back. Do you crack?
I Hit A Brick Wall
May 25, 2007 – 12:31 am
My golf game was finally starting to come around the past couple of weeks. I shot 43 last Thursday, 48-43 Friday, 39-45 Saturday, and 42 on Tuesday. Then today…a whopping 56 which equals my first 9 holes of the year out in Phoenix back in February. I took three penalty strokes, missed three 3 foot [...]
Tiger Woods Playing 2007 Buick Open
May 24, 2007 – 11:47 am
I’ve been to the Buick Open probably 4 or 5 times, but missed the last couple of years because the dates conflicted with a festival in my hometown. This year the Buick Open was moved up to the end of June and I bought tickets over 4 months ago. It’s always a great time and [...]
Health Update
May 24, 2007 – 11:09 am
Quick update on my health, after the scary trip to the emergency room…
I saw my family Doctor and he referred me to a neurologist. The neurologist figured it was either a really bad migraine or some type of “bug” in the brain. With the history of brain aneurysms in the family (grandparent on each side [...]
I'm Losing 2 Teeth And Getting a Dental Implant
May 24, 2007 – 11:02 am
Doesn’t it sound like fun?
I finally hooked up with a local dentist after visiting the one in my hometown for years. I’ve been having some problems on tooth #19 (lower back left area) and the decay is so bad it would be a miracle to save the tooth. So I’ve decided to go with a [...]
Pistol: The Life of Pete Maravich
May 23, 2007 – 5:43 pm
“Pistol” Pete Maravich was the greatest college basketball player to ever play the game. The “Pistol” was a guard and he averaged over 40 points a game throughout college before there was ever a 3 point line. He had a great shot and actually made a lot of shots which would have easily been worth [...]
Home Improvements
May 23, 2007 – 9:38 am
Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been busy with home improvements. First my Dad came down for a weekend and we did some odds and ends, but the big project was installing a ceiling fan/light in my bedroom. Previously there wasn’t a light in the room and with it being a pretty large room [...]

Yahoo! Avatars has a neat service where you can create customizable avatars. Very easy to use and a nice little addition to a web site.

Review: G.R.I.P 460cc Beta Titanium Driver
May 8, 2007 – 7:13 pm
Golf Research In Play (G.R.I.P) announced a new 460cc Beta Titanium Driver at the end of April and I jumped all over the chance to review one.
Specifications
The driver sells for $129.95 which is nearly giving the club away for free compared to the prices of similar drivers on the golf market which usually sell for [...]
How To Wire a 3-way Switch
May 8, 2007 – 1:07 pm
Want two electrical switches to control the same light or outlet? Check out a diagram before you do anything. This would have saved my Dad and I a couple of hours on Saturday.
What Happened to Poker Chip Tricks?
May 7, 2007 – 5:00 pm
I sold the Poker Chip Tricks site nearly 10 months ago. The only activity at the site since the changes in ownership have been different advertising and one a offering free poker chips when signing up through Poker Source Online. I wonder if the US online gambling changes affected what was planned for the future [...]
Poker Buzz Faded
May 4, 2007 – 12:16 pm
What happened to all of the poker buzz in the United States? Two or three years ago you couldn’t go anywhere without hearing a conversation about poker. Now it rarely happens. I believe the legislation that put a lock down on online poker really hurt the poker industry in the US. I know I haven’t [...]
The Sweetest Swing

I don’t care what anyone says, Ken Griffey Jr. still has the sweetest looking swing in baseball.
Blame it on the Wind
May 3, 2007 – 10:57 pm
Today was my first day golfing at Bay City Country Club for the SVSU golf league. The temperature wasn’t much higher than 60, especially with a steady 2 club wind. When you start off with a 10 on the first hole you know the end result isn’t going to come out how you want. Add [...]
DreamHost Improves Support
May 3, 2007 – 10:39 pm
The DreamHost Status blog claims a decrease in support response times and I couldn’t agree more. The helpfulness of the support has also increased. With my recent spam attack, I’ve been in touch with DreamHost Support several times a day, most of the time without even contacting them. They’ve looked up WordPress plugins, htaccess solutions, [...]

May 3, 2007 – 12:05 pm
Luol Deng, who played a year of college basketball for Duke University, was awarded the NBA sportsmanship award. Of the 5 other divisional winners for the award, Shane Battier and Elton Brand also played for Coach K and the Duke Blue Devils. Three out of six isn’t too bad!
I Couldn't Spell My Own Name
May 1, 2007 – 5:30 pm
Nearly two weeks ago I had a very scary experience. The day was Wednesday, April 18th…
4:45pm
I got home from work and changed my clothes. Did a couple of things around the house and changed into some comfortable clothes.
5:15pm
Figured I would shoot some pool before working out. I couldn’t hit anything straight and realized my vision [...]
