In 2009 Tiger had nine wins. Out of 22 starts. Hot damn. His last win? November 15 at the JBWere Masters in Australia. Then, the world's most famous athlete, on the fast track to being the greatest golfer of all time, plants his Escalade into a tree and starts dodging both rumors and 9-irons at the hand of an angry (albeit freakin' hot) wife. Then came silence, sex clinics, press conferences, a break up with Hank Haney, a divorce (yes, they're different), and the 2010 results. By any other golfer's standards those links results might be perfectly acceptable, if not down right dreamy. But this isn't any other golfer. This is the man in red. The Sunday surgeon. So, what is wrong with Tiger Woods?

The answer, my friends, is the mojo. He's all out of whack. Bottled up. A caged, well, tiger.  Back in high school our starting point guard refused blow jobs from his girlfriend before games, fearing, I'm not sure what he feared. Maybe that's between his and his long gone girlfriend. Perhaps he thought it would throw off his groove (dumbass). Maybe the same applies to Tiger. He's out of sync, and he needs a tug job. Yup, I said it, the man needs to pop one. 

Tiger: Go find a bleached blond with double Ds, all the appropriate skills, and get your ass back on track. We're counting on you.

Last year the man in the dry fit polos (do you think Nike takes them in around the pecs, or he's just that studly?) was getting all the ass a man could want. The wifey kind of ass, the porn star kind of ass, even the Perkins kind of ass (does that come with a mammoth muffin on the side?). The man was rolling it smooth on the short stuff, and hitting it long and deep with the driver. We, his drooling fans, saw past his hat head and balding hair. Turned away when he gleamed those beaver teeth at the cameras. Didn't care that inspecting the texture and viscosity of our boogers was more interesting than his on camera interviews. He was winning. He was living the dream–professional athlete, supermodel wife, billionaire. Heck, he wasn't just living his dream, he was living our dream.

So, dammit Tiger, get back on track. Don't be ashamed of who you are. You're a player. And a playa'. The sooner you accept who you are, the sooner you can get back to winning and take back some of Roger Federer's Gillette sponsorship, 'cause we all know he isn't earning it. Do whatever it takes to get that swagger back. Just keep your paws off my wife.

Well, it’s been a week since I installed Snow Leopard, the new Mac OSX, version 10.6. I think I’ve run it through all of the necessary programs, and here’s my quick review: It’s freaking awesome.

First of all, installation on my three year old MacBook Pro was a snap, as usual. Stick it in and let it grind (oy, that was a bad one). Seriously though, just insert the disc and let it do its thing. After installation the first thing i noticed was how fast Spaces was. Previously, I’d see some lag switching spaces, but now it’s lickity-split, even back and forth between design spaces. All of the Creative Suite runs smoothly, and a few of the bugs seem to have gone away. You’ll notice that after installation, you have some more hard drive space. For an older machine like mine, this is like winning the lottery (albeit a sort of lame, not that exciting lottery).

There isn’t much of an interface change, but it never was meant to be. For $29 you get a faster interface, more hard drive space, and you can go about your business as usual. You can tell I’m not techie, I’m a designer. But for me, this upgrade is a no brainer.

Then, focusing on the tour itself, there has been some controversy about who the team leader would be: Alberto Contador or Lance. Following Contador’s incredible performance in the start of the mountains, I’m now watching Lance be the consummate teammate, pulling for Alberto all the way up the mountain. Remember, this is a guy who won 7 Tours, the best in history, riding for cancer, riding for free, and being the ideal teammate. What an idol. What an inspiration. LiveStrong.

Two years ago I started a blog for SimonDelivers (now under new ownership, CobornsDelivers) and ran a post on The Secret to Suave. Two years later, I get an email notification that someone has left a comment on that post. It reads as follows:

"I’m going to a "wine and cheese social" at an art gallery tonight. I hope to get some job networking done and don’t want to look like a goof so I thought I better look this stuff up online. 

All the wine stuff I know though, because I spent 5 months in South Africa. YOU CAN GET WINE ANYWHERE. I went from only having box wine before to being able to distinguish between different flavors. The cheese stuff is kind of new to me though… so thanks!  "

So it has been confirmed. Nothing dies on the internet.

I haven’t had a chance to test this yet, but I will shortly. Anyone else out there tried this yet? Feedback?
