Anyone know anything about disc golf?
It seems like a reasonably inexpensive, fun little thing to do. We played nine holes down here in Kiawah Island and had a blast. We would have had more fun if we had figured out how to "draw" the discs (curving right with a right-handed throw, which I realize is the opposite from golf, but we also stand on the opposite side of the ball or disc).
Where do you buy discs? What do you want to look for in your discs? The nearest course is a 20-minute drive, and while that's not terrible, it's not super convenient either. I wonder if I might be able to convince a local park to build a course or something.
There don't seem to be any disc golf retailers within a fairly large radius around here, or I'd travel to one to see what they had to say.

From this Apple discussion forum I fixed a problem that bothered me for weeks: duplicate iCloud accounts (and thus duplicate notes) in Mountain Lion's "Notes" app.
With Notes not running, on any computer that's affected, delete the folder ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes.
That's it.

Radar Bug #12015296.
Summary:
Mail in Lion properly responded from the same email address that received the email. Mail in Mountain Lion does not and instead replies from the default email address, regardless of the setting(s) chosen in the preferences.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have multiple email accounts, for example, username@me.com and username@company.com.
2. Receive an email to an account that's moved to a folder within Mail, say, "Work" or "Personal."
3. Reply to the email.
Expected Results:
The email reply is created and the sending address is set to the same account that received the email, as in Mail under Mac OS X 10.7/Lion.
Actual Results:
The address used is the first one in the Inboxes, or the one specified in "Send new messages from:" in the "Composing" preferences. Definitively it is NOT the email address to which the email was sent every time, as it was in Lion.
Regression:
This bug is new with Mail in Mountain Lion.
Notes:
I'm told this was filed previously by another user under bug #12013442.

Winamp's woes: how the greatest MP3 player undid itself is a good little article. I remember MacAMP too and the drama and stuff around that. I even wrote some plugins for MacAMP when it was - I kid you not - MacAST. Many of the people behind that app went on to found Unsanity, which last released an update in 2010 or so with a post on their site on October 8, 2011.
P.S. My plugins included Dancing Baby, Ear Hair (IIRC), and one that was actually fairly popular and quite versatile with a fairly sophisticated means of determining the EQ levels.

My running streak came to an end.
I was running at least a mile a day for as long as I could so long as the reason I missed was not laziness.
Well, I didn't miss a day's run out of laziness. I probably burned twice as many calories today as most days when I ran.
But oh well, it's over. And I'm somewhat relieved, too, because now I can get back to longer runs three times a week.
I think I'll take it really easy for awhile though.

The fix? Turn off the "Push" setting.
Thanks to MJTsai and others for this.
P.S. I bought a license for Fantastical. Their 50% off deal got me.

Cool. Also, here's a very good article on concussions as they relate to Crosby.

This article was a fascinating read, and focused primarily on how to render the main character's hair in Pixar's new movie Brave.

FlipBook HD is now available, and it's pretty sweet. If you own an iPad, check it out for sure.
Here's a cool animation, for example. Great for kids or adults who like to sketch and doodle.
