    Great Night of Bowling: 590 

    Our bowling team finally took 7 points last night by winning all 3 games on our Thursday Night Men’s League.

    I personally made a big change in my approach last night which caused me to play much farther left than I am used to.  But it was a great change.  My bowling ball reaction was so much better than usually.  I was way more consistent and only threw a handful of awful shots.

    I started out the first game with my [bowlingball value="6695"/].  I felt like I was making nice shots, but with a couple of pulled splits, I ended the game with a score of 175.  Like normal, if I don’t like my bowling ball reaction, then I try a different ball in my fill shot of the 10th.

    Brian Halstrom helped me choose which bowling ball to change to.  He said I should try the [bowlingball value="6303"/] on the same line, but stay aggressive.  I did and CRACK, strike.

    I stayed with the [bowlingball value="6303"/] for the final two games, only moving two boards left throughout the games.  The second game I scored a 202, and finished the night with a 213.

    Overall, I have to credit the change in my game to moving back about two feet on the approach.  This helped me increase my bowling ball’s speed, but it did more than that.  I believe that it really helped improve my timing, which gave me great ball reaction.

    Woot Ads: Funny or Offensive? 

    TechCrunch has written an article about the new Woot ads that appear when you search for “goog” on google.

    Goog is the NYSE code for the google stock.  You can type in stock codes on google to get a quick snapshot of where the stock is at.

    Well, Woot has gone pretty far into their sarcastic tool box and pulled out a couple of very funny ads.  Try if for yourself.

    Ad 1:

    Before you jump out of
    that window, why not spend your
    last remaining dollars at Woot?

    Ad 2:

    Losing your house?
    Without that mortgage to pay, now
    you can buy more of our junk!

    Ad 3:

    You’re broke.  So what?
    You could live without gadgets, but
    can you really call that “living”?
