I'm watching on my TV while I do some work. I'll quasi live-blog it here.

12:59 - Just crowd shots while the music plays. An announcement says the event will start soon.

13:01 - A video intro with the guy who sings in cars. The late night guy.

James Cordon. Carpool Karaoke. Tim Cook is singing.

13:04 - okay getting old.

13:04 - On stage. I'll skip if they recap a bunch of stuff unless it's unusual or surprising.

Wake me up when the watch works without being accompanied by a phone. I want my watch to be my phone and talk into it like Dick Tracy.

13:09 - Mario is on the App Store. Nintendo is apparently on board now.

13:10 - Wow and Shigeru Minamoto is on stage. I used to be heavily involved in gaming, and this guy is weirdly cultish in his following.

13:13 - Okay still going on about this left-to-right jumping game. Yawn.

13:16 - Okay that's over now.

13:19 - Swift Playgrounds/school promo stuff. Cool, but for this event… yawn. My wife's school just went to fucking PCs. Everyone hates them.

13:24 - New products, beginning with Apple Watch.

13:25 - Apple Watch is second in sales revenue in the world. Behind Rolex. With just 8 months of sales.

13:26 - I love mine. Customer sat is high.

13:27 - Jeff Williams going over watchOS 3. Which I've heard from those running the betas that it's as awesome as they say.

Actually I don't, but I image the hoards of people who are losing their minds right now.

...or as my boy said, "That was so last month."

13:35 - Pokémon Go over. Next step is called… okay, a video first.

13:36 - I think the watch bands will be the same, which is good. :-)

13:36 - Apple Watch Series 2. Now "swim proof."

The Japanese guys (both those that are living here and those in Japan) are nuts about Pokemon Go. It is BIG in Japan.

I love my Apple Watch! Devs struggle at first but they've gotten better over time. Especially Golfshot Pro which I used to track my game before I switched to GGLive. 

I'm hoping for some really cool changes to the Watch, looks like I won't be dissapointed.

13:39 - Form factor stays the same, it looks like. S2 SiP (system in a package). Dual core processor up to 50% faster, new GPU, 2x faster. I just wonder who will get my old one.

The GPS will be a great addition for the Golf tracking apps as well and will help increase the time to getting a distance from just the watch. Nice!

13:45 - ceramic watch now. Looks good, but I think I like my stainless steel because it's just available in white.

13:46 - I guess they're just assuming that everyone knows the existing bands will fit.

13:49 - Nike Apple Watch? Okay… what's different about it? It's just an app, or what? With a special band?

13:50 - Looking like this is just going to be about phones and watches. Nothing else.

13:52 - Four cool colors for Nike. Whatever.

13:53 - Pre-orders on September 9th. I missed the prices. Starts at $369 I now read.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
