Medinah Country Club – My review of a masterpiece

July 30, 2008

I was fortunate enough to play a round of golf at Medinah Country Club, and bring two friends along. I immediately thought of my uncle Torrin, who is a very good golfer (4 handicap), plus a really good person.

It’s only about 10-15 minutes south […]

July 8, 2008

I’ve played Hemlock Golf Club about 4-5 times in the past, but my wife has never played it, so we decided to give it a shot over the 4th of July weekend. We arrived a bit early for our 10:30 tee time, and actually got to hit the range, practice a few putts, and tee […]

Flickr Tip – Maximize your Description

July 2, 2008

Underneath each image on Flickr, there’s an area to add a Description. If you maximize this space, you have the ability of defining the text under the link in a Google result. If you don’t maximize it (or don’t add enough characters), Flickr fills it for you. Here are a couple examples: In Flickr, the […]
