To quote wikipedia:

Jasmine is an ambiguously evil character in Season Four of Angel whose goal is to gain a corporeal form on Earth and become ruler of the world. The main goal of Jasmine, the Devourer, is to bring world peace.

The real problem, however, is that Jasmine's mind control virtually eliminates free will from the world, with everyone being unable to do much of anything except praise and serve Jasmine all day.

Sounds like Mac users to me.

... and I'm not talking about Thunderbird. A friend just pointed out that my isp has changed their webmail client to atmail which when fired up in Firefox at least is delivered as XUL. I've seen XUL admin interfaces for apps such as CMSes but this is the first time I've really seen a XUL interface pushed out to end users, the mums and dads. Congrats go to iinet and atmail. Hopefully this will just be the start and we'll see many more XUL web interfaces in the future. Remember kids, XUL is COOL!

The PGA Tour have announced Melbourne will again host the Presidents Cup in 2011. I'm looking forward to watching the worlds best playing here in my home town.

I recently had the opportunity to play what is often referred to as the Australian Augusta, Bonville International Golf Resort. Bonville is a picturesque course carved through rain forest, with holes often isolated from other holes. A snap hook is more likely to end up deep in the forest then on an adjacent fairway. It is quite an undulating course, which I like. I enjoy the challenge of hitting to an uphill green off a downhill lie, even though chances are I'll duff it into the creek in front

Distance is not a problem for me, I hit the ball a long way. So I was disappointed not be able to hit off the back tees. I really don't understand why courses force you to play off forward tees. Some courses of course are much worse and make you hit off the yellow social tees which are usually 100m down the fairway and thus you play half their course! grrr Bonville wasn't this bad, but it still took the edge off an enjoyable day.

Bonville is a course I would like to play again, especially while it's still reasonably fresh in my mind. There are plenty of challenging holes I would play differently now I'm familiar with the layout. However I probably won't. It's just too damn expensive and in the end it's not Augusta. Luckily I'm spoilt for choice here in Victoria with plenty of great layouts that are much better value.

From a last round 80 last week to winning the Shell Houston Open this week. That's a pretty impressive turn around for Adam Scott continuing the great form of the Aussies leading into the Masters. Adam battled another Australian and deffending champion Stuart Appelby up to the 72nd hole. So it's good signs with both players are peaking at the right time. Adam is the second Aussie to win this year, the other being Aaron Baddeley. As of April there are four Aussies in the top ten in the FedExCup Points race. Between last week and this week there have been six Aussies in the top ten placings. So things are looking great for the first major of the year. Bring it on!
