I now know more about Cisco IP phones than I ever thought I would. Thumbs up.

It’s been a pretty amazing few weeks. My wife and I went to Scottsdale to play golf for a week with some good friends which will end up completely changing our handicaps. I do not think for the better. We played Troon North about 5 times. It never got old even when we played 36. It’s manicured like a supermodel. A 7500 yard long supermodel.

I managed to master making the perfect omlette which is hard when you dont know how to do it right. In fact, if you don’t know the method, it’s impossible. When you do, it’s still damn hard but the outcome it amazing. I recommend quickly sautees onions, Spanish chorizo and brie. Sour cream, lox and onions is also outstanding.

Porsche is about to unleash a 997 with a mid-model facelift, DSG and direct injection. People might make fun of the car that’s been effectively the “same” for 45 years but it’s still the car by which ALL other sports cars are measured. So, mock if you like but the flat 6 boxer hanging off the back still offers up the real deal.

IN other news, we might be moving. While South Austin needs people to keep it weird, we might have to head up to mid-town to lend a weird hand to the Allendale area. Being close to downtown works for me since most of what I like is there and it works for Wifey since she can surface-street to work. We found a pretty cool Realtor and a builder that makes some homes we’re freaking out over. Now we just have to afford it…

I’ve decided Last.fm is difficult to use and I like Pandora. Pandora plays music, last seems to want me to do stuff with it, like it’s a date. I don’t want a date, I want an Internet radio. Move along.

I managed to work in a new golf swing while out in Arizona, it’s working as long as I don’t try to “work” the ball. It’s just a woods swing so working the ball is, well, balsy. So, If I just give it a firm poke, it goes relatively straight and about 220 / 230 which is 20-40 less than I am used to but I now find my ball all the time so that’s a fair trade. My irons are also behaving and I managed to get a few 200+ 5-iron shots today off the tee, one of which was so flush and perfect I had to stand there for a few moments to reflect on the great feedback from the club. It also landed right in the middle of the fairway. We’ll not talk about the 4-putt that followed. The short game is a disaster.

Dirty Sexy Money is putting off new shows until the fall which is just killing me. It’s been a while since I’ve seen such a good show. I can wait, I’m just happy it’s not canceled. It’s a little smart so the Nascar fans might not “get it” and you know how studio execs get when the philistines don’t “get” a show. I’m all for a channel that’s 24 hours of cops, judge judy and that “moment of truth” show for those people so the rest of us (sadly a minority) can watch things that, how can I say this nicely, don’t cater to the mouth-breathing vulgarians. Sadly, there is now a generation of self-hating bohemians who feel the need to flagelate themselves with a blog-shaped switch called “stuff white people like“. If that “stuff” is wrong, well, I don’t want to be right. And, happily enough, I’m not, so all is good. Wait, I don’t like Macs. Oh no I don’t conform to the non-conforming site. Crap, my universe imploded.

I checked Facebook today. Something happened. Everyone who is going to join did and nothing happened. Oh well. Time for a new meme.

Tomorrow might be the first normal day I’ve had in a long time. Only time will tell.
