US Open - Sunday

by mhouston 15. June 2008 18:28

Wow!  An injured Tiger and solid playing Lee Westwood in a final pairing!  Who would have guessed Rocco could hold on under that pressure?!  So, it ends with Rocco in at -1, Westwood and Tiger flubbing around with a 3rd shot into 18...both make decent wedges in and have 10+ footers to tie Rocco...Westwood just leaks to the right for a miss...Tiger, of course, makes magic and ties.  18 hole play-off scheduled for Monday (TV time is 1PM EST).  Wow!  Westwood deserves to be in the play-off...it's just too bad.  He and Rocco played the most solid golf of anyone the last four days.  $500 on Tiger tomorrow, any takers ;-)

US Open 2008

The first 2 days were crazy.  I can't believe Tiger's last 9 holes on Friday...wow!!!  That's why he's #1 in world ranking points.  Phil was playing okay...sorta fell apart...what's new?!  There are a lot of players in the running, Sat. should be an awesome 'moving day'.  I love the US Open :-)

Teched08 - 'Spring Break for Nerds' ;-P

by mhouston 10. June 2008 12:15

Another excellent year at TechEd!  After all these years, I still enjoy the lengthy, opinionated and inebriated conversations over technologies, implementations, products, etc.

I did make it to a few interesting sessions and spoke to a few 'official' types about various things ASP.Net MVC, Velocity, Unity, Oslo, etc...  The presentation I actually enjoyed the most was Andrew Connell's 'Don't be a Tool...' SharePoint dev talk...really good stuff from an outstanding presenter.  I was just happy to hear someone actually tell developers to be developers again and quit whining...this could turn in to a <rant/>...I'll stop now.

As usual, the most interesting stuff happens after hours ;-P  Every year I say I'm going to capture more evidence, but I always forget to take pictures...here's the few I ended up with this year.  It was great to see all my old friends and meet quite a few new ones.  I love all of you nerds.  Big props to the Fl crew for organizing the ]inbetween[ event.  And oh, btw, before I forget....SHAREPOINT NATION!!!
