Preview has a Signature Option

This is interesting: you can scan your signature in Preview using your iSight camera. I'm not sure I'll ever use this feature but it's nifty anyway. πŸ˜‰

Site Banners

No. I haven't updated the site's banners in YEARS. Might be a few more years until I do.

The entire site's design could stand to be changed, but, well, it works just fine. πŸ˜€

Pipe Putting Thing

Putting Pipe ThingI'll eventually look to build this type of thing for putting, as soon as I can figure out how best to make it. I'm thinking that a hula hoop will work use fine.

Since upgrading, I'm pleased with my upload speed:

DSLRU Design

Oftentimes I'll go back to a site I "designed" or helped to design months later and think "blech, that's terrible."

Not so with DSLRU:

Now I'm not saying these things are winning any awards or blowing anyone away, but they're well crafted, solid designs that I appreciate to this day.

It'll be a shame when it finally goes away for good.

Wireless Webcam?

Does this product exist, and if so, where? What's the best one?

I'd like a pair of webcams that:

  • Can connect to a WiFi network.
  • Can be plugged in to a standard power outlet.
  • Can somehow broadcast or upload video and/or frequent still images somewhere for viewing outside the local network.
  • Are reasonably priced.

In other words, I'd like to buy two webcams I can use to check in on a place I will not always be. What's out there?

Songs that Do Not Mean what People Seem to Think They Mean

Born in the USA is not a patriotic song.

The One I Love is not a song you dedicate to someone that you love, and Losing My Relgion has nothing to do with religion.

Add others as you think of them in the comments.

Stan Utley on Putting

Good advice, all of it.

SEO For Non-Dicks

SEO for Non-Dicks is a good piece summarized by:

create original, relevant content repeatedly … make your site’s content trustworthy, genuine and relevant.

Qwikster

First, why isn't it "Qwixter"?

Second, I get the "price adjustment." It makes sense, and though I've dropped DVDs by mail (regrettably - I simply never had the time to watch them when I had them), I retained the streaming.

The creation of Qwikster virtually guarantees I will not ever sign up for both services again. The separation not only means I can't see which DVDs are available for streaming and vice versa, it completely removes the temptation for me to sign up from within Netflix when I find a movie I really want to watch streaming that's available on DVD. Whether that meant a one-time payment for a single DVD or signing up for a subscription service.

I'm not a market expert, but this just seems dumb, and customers seem to realize that:

2011 Family Golf Day at Orchard Ponds

Today was what may be, for a few years, an annual golf trip to Orchard Ponds. The idea is that we have a foursome comprised of Myself, Carey, Natalie, and Brandon. Natalie gets to play from the red tees on every hole, and will end up with a score.

This year got off to a rocky start, as Nat wasn't hitting the ball very well. It's to be expected - she hasn't practiced much this summer. After five holes and a few near breakdowns over shots that weren't really anywhere near as bad as she thought, I had to step in to help. Her scores on the last four holes were half that of the first five, and it simply required that she not stand up so completely straight at the end of her backswing.

In the end, finishing the way she did, she had a good time, and for at least another five or six years, that's what's most important about golf.
