I just won my 200th game of computer solitaire on my laptop. Thought you guys should know.

You should get a merit badge or something.

I played golf today and found more than 300 golf balls. Anyone do 400 of something today?

Yo D'stone, I see me, you, and Automattic are in the same FF league. I think this has sitcom potential.

I think I kept resetting my Solitaire scores because they were so turrible.

My grandpa used to grab all the extra golf balls he found when he played. Then, when we went to go visit, I'd dig through them and try to find ones with logos on them. I still have some. Have a Trail Blazers one, a Longhorns one, a Tar Heels one, Pepsi, Arby's. It was pretty cool.

Yeah, I've actually discovered I can support my golf habit finding balls. I've figured out that every ball I find is worth about 27 cents on average. Play a few times, build up some balls, split them by brand, and sell them on Ebay. So, on average I play for like $25-30 and find about $60-100 worth of balls in a round. Plus, I always play with ProV1s now. :)

I came home from golfing one day and found that someone had left several egg cartons of golf balls on my front porch. That was awesome.

What kind of balls do you play with D'stone?

(There you go Ritari, have a field day! :))

Whatever I find in my bag. MaxFli, Top Flite, and DDH seem to be the most common. I only tend to lose my good shots, though, somehow. I honestly don't know how I can pull off losing a ball that I saw land three feet to the right of the fairway next to a lone tree that provides an obvious mark. Though I found one of mine on the next hole, not because I sliced it so bad -- it went perfectly straight -- but because I overshot the green by about 75 yards.

Any of them have logos on them?

I should take a picture of my logo collection and put it here in the next day or two.
