Why I won’t be leaving WoW anytime soon

Originally I was writing up a reply to a post by a friend about WoW Detox, but then I realized that I could spin a post about it instead and get a bit more mileage out of my thoughts.
I’ve been playing WoW for nearly three years now, and Lisa has been playing for just over [...]

Happy Halloween!

It’s hard to believe that Halloween is today. We’d had a dinner party on the 20th, and went to a party on the 27th, so it feels like the holiday has already come and gone for us. At least, it would if there hadn’t been tons of people at our door asking for some candy [...]

GrandCentral

So, normally I wouldn’t publicly post an entry like this one, but, I’m not so worried about it because of what it opens up.
I got into the GrandCentral beta. For those who don’t know, basically GC is a sort of man-in-the-middle service for your phone. You’re provided with a phone number that is supposed to [...]

Ah, image macros

This picture made me laugh, and I hope it does the same for you.

Bought teh Haloz

So, I cracked, sunk into peer pressure (of a sort), and gave in and purchased Halo 3. I’ve yet to actually play it yet, as I purchased it during my lunch hour with my friend James, who bought a copy as well (the limited Collector’s edition for both of us), although he also bought an [...]

Suggestion fun

So, I tend to run Firefox as a web browser, and it has a lovely little Firefox search toolbar that I use often. I never bother going to Google directly, since I can just search there. On occasion, I’ll do a more verbal search — rather than searching for just key terms, it seems like [...]

Powerhouse

While I can’t really vouch for the accuracy here, I find it to be quite an amusing idea. According to the Body Battery Calculator, I’m producing a lot.
Your Body is Producing 357 Watts!
This is 79% MORE wattage than the average person

You could light up 4 light bulbs
You could power 89 iPods
You could power 2 Xbox [...]

New job, old friends

My last post was all about summarizing smaller events. These two events deserve more than a bullet point, but maybe not necessarily their own post.
First off, I started a new job! I mentioned in my last post that Lisa had participated in a program with high school students, working on spatial literacy. One of the [...]

July/August summary

Thanks to the magic of Twitter, I have a nice record of events, which I can then mine to summarize recent events. While I may not post as much as I should, I do try to at least send random bits to Twitter. There’s admittedly a lot more noise in the stream, but, it’s something, [...]

Harry Potter selling a vacuum

Today’s woot product is a Roomba, which Woot is known to sell quite often. Today’s product description is chock full of (absolutely fake) Harry Potter spoilers, which cracked me up. That being said, if I were still reading the book and not finished, I’d be irritated, but that’s why you stay away from the Internet [...]
