Note Taking Tools
I would love to take more notes than I do. In essence, that’s what this blog is all about – notes to myself about things I find interesting. I write these posts so that a year from now when I’m … Continue reading
Karazhan Cat Druid Gear
I don’t know if my druid will hit level 70 before Wrath comes out, let alone run Karazhan, but if I do run Karazhan, ThinkTank has The Cat From-Karazhan gear guide for me to consult.
Ideas for new content beyond WotLK
Big Bear Butt Blogger has a very intersting post on his ideas for new content beyond WotLK. This appeals a lot to me. I would love it if there were a reason to revisit some of the older dungeons. Before … Continue reading

The Grind

Why Do I Exercise?
I’ve been doing some form of regular exercise since my early teens. Sometimes it’s been very regular and structured, sometimes it’s been very minimal. Why do I do it? I don’t do it to be visibly physically fit. Pick any … Continue reading
Games and the Kids
Tor recently had a review of Microlite d20. It looks like it could be fun. I think the kids are old enough that they might enjoy a tabletop RPG, but I shudder at the thought of doing all the bookkeeping … Continue reading
Wrath Beta Thoughts
I didn’t opt in for the beta of Wrath of the Lich King. The biggest reason for that is that I don’t want to have all my stuff disappear at the end of the beta. I don’t know if I … Continue reading
Tracking Transfers
It’s driving me nuts – I saw a website that would let you track World of Warcraft transfers/name changes. Basically it looked for characters with similar gear/talents/names that disappeared on one server and popped up on another. I cannot track … Continue reading

A year with our Static Group
Just over a year ago (roughly June 30, 2007), Justin, Faith, Dave, Jaimie, and I rolled up toons on the Quel’dorei server to play together. Jamie and had had our raiding guild on Andorhal fall apart and we were looking … Continue reading
The Best Tech Tools and Fitness Plans to Get in Shape
Lifehacker has a post on The Best Tech Tools and Fitness Plans to Get in Shape. I’m particularly intrigued by shovelgloving. I think that it may be time for me to vary the weights part of my exercises and it … Continue reading
MMO Addiction
I was working late and played Brad Paisley’s "I’m gonna miss her." It made me laugh and I told Jaimie about it. There are people who act as if MMO players spending too much time on an activity deemed to … Continue reading

Many years ago, mp3.com was a fine place to fine free legal music. Bouncing around at random, I picked up a track called Kingsword by Heather Dale. I played it a couple of times and liked it. Jaimie liked it … Continue reading
Gruul Down!
Our guild alliance went into Gruul’s lair last night for the first time and cleared the whole thing. It was a very impressive performance. High King Maulgar took us three tries (plus one premature pull). Gruul himself only took us … Continue reading
Blackrock Spire Memories
I recently ran Blackrock Spire with some 55ish people from our guild alliance. We ran Upper Blackrock Spire, then Lower Blackrock Spire. It was fun to see the old place again. I have a lot of memories of running it … Continue reading
