I've decided that, while I work, this summer I'm going to watch the entire series of West Wing ((Or at least up until the point at which Aaron Sorkin left the show and it started to suck.)) in a row.

I may follow that up with Sports Night. We shall see. 😉

Anyone out there know of a good Brainy Smurf icon? I'll even take an easily extractable image. One that's a bit larger than the one on the Wikipedia page.

I wrote about this sync issue back in April but I've finally resolved this nagging issue:

What finally did it?

This KBase article which had me eventually run this:

/System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync.pl full

Thank goodness that's gone. I'm a bit anal about these types of things and that one was driving me nuts.

I see no reason why QuickTime Player or Preview should restore their state. They're not really "editing" applications, and I rarely close windows in them before I quit the app, particularly if I have only one window open.

So, these terminal commands take care of that:

defaults write com.apple.Preview NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false

defaults write com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false

"As with so many things in my makeup, the answer derives from Charlie Nicklaus. My father taught me the single hardest thing a professional athlete has to learn, which is how to lose gracefully. Dad convinced me very early in my involvement with sports that I had to accept the bad with the good; that, however much it hurts inside, you smile and keep a stiff upper lip; that you shake the hand of the man who's beaten you, and tell him congratulations, and mean it."

chflags nohidden ~/Library

It's kind of annoying that it's hidden but, hey, whatever. Most people don't need it.

Also, holding down the option key will show the "Library" option in the "Go" menu of the Finder.

When will Lion ship? About a month, I think.

I'm not sure what I am looking forward to the most - the release of the software or the Siracusa review that will surely follow.

We'll be acquiring a SAM PuttLab Pro very soon. I'm very excited to look into this. It's not an inexpensive item, but it will be put to good use in our downtown facility, I can bet you that!

Has anyone tried Nuun tablets?

They're quite tasty.

Hinging actions do not control ball flight, curve, trajectory, etc.

A ball struck with matched impact parameters will fly exactly the same whether you've employed horizontal hinging or vertical hinging or angled hinging.

Hinging actions can determine what's come before, and that is how they express a change in the ball flight - not what they do while impact occurs.

The Three Imperatives and Essentials operate to correct faulty procedures. So, if they seem elusive, it is invariably because you are trying to execute them while you hit the ball - in your accustomed manner. That must be reversed. Learn to do those things even if you miss the ball - until you no longer miss it. There is no successful alternative (3-B).

1. A "Flat" Left Wrist
2. A Clubhead Lag Pressure Point

Quotes from The Golfing Machine.

The three Essentials:

1. A stationary Head
2. Balance
3. Rhythm

Quotes from The Golfing Machine.

Hitting a ball is the easiest part of the game - hitting it effectively is the most difficult. Why trust instinct when there is science? The instructor can only inform and explain - the student must absorb and apply.
