New iPod and iMac

Finally, a reasonable size screen on an iMac, and iPod just got very affordable.

Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs on Wednesday defended the company’s switch to the Mac OS X operating system and unveiled new iPod digital-audio players and a new flat-panel iMac.

YEAH! I think I know someone who’s going to buy one of these [[:-)]].

Savor the Moment

Fans should savor the possibilities with Tiger this weekend. I know I can’t wait.

One minute we’re handing him this third leg of the Grand Slam. The next, we’re trying to figure out ways to take it away.

Go figure.

You got that right. I absolutely love how he’s dominating the sport. I feel like I know what it must’ve been like to watch Jack in his prime, or see Ali box in his. It’s a special time in the golf world.

The 50 Worst Shows?

This week’s TV Guide lists the 50 worst TV shows in history.

Among them is [[Hogan’s Heroes]]!!! How can this possibly be? That show was just brilliant. And when you realize that most of the cast was Jewish (including Klink, Hochstetter, and Bulkhalter [[:-)]], and especially LeBeau who was a holocaust survivor!!!), the joke gets even better!

Muirfield Set Up For Shotmakers

Is this another pre-ordained win for [[Tiger]]?

Of course, Woods, the best player on the planet, still has the advantage in the 131st Open championship. He has the advantage anywhere he tees it up. But he has more honorable company on the contender list at Muirfield, where the winds, whins and bewildering number of bunkers can wreak havoc.

[[tiger_hook]] All of that is true, but take a look at this picture taken at [[The Masters]] this year on the 5th hole. Believe it or not, he made that shot, up the hill, out from under the trees with a 30 yard hook, nothin’ but green.

If the British Open is set up for shotmakers this year, can there be any question who has a huge advantage? Couple that with [[Tiger]]’s ability to play in high wind, and you might as well just give him the win right now.

Calling Lee Trevino!

Mac Users Have Bigger Brains!

Those who surf the Web using a Mac tend to be better educated and make more money than their PC-using counterparts, according to a report from Nielsen/NetRatings.

The study also said Mac users tend to be more Web savvy, with more than half having been online for at least five years. And the Mac faithful are 58 percent more likely than the overall online population to build their own Web page and also slightly more likely to buy goods online, according to the report.

I’ve known that for years!

Read the full article to hear people from Dell and Gateway whine that our users are smart too… waaahhhh. [[:-)]]

Nicklaus and Watson at Murfield in ’77

It’s time for a little review of some of the history of the British Open as Tiger prepares to try for the third leg of the Grand Slam.

Then there are the roars that surely one still can hear drifting in from Turnberry, another venerable golf course on this country’s west coast. Twenty-five years have not muffled them. Not in the least. The 1977 British Open, after all, was one for the ages, and not a person who remembers it considers it anything but the finest head-to-head duel between two mammoth champions.

We can only hope that one of the challengers for [[Tiger]] will step up to the plate and give him a run for his money.
