Farewell and thank you, WoW.com (WoW)

Dec 18th 2009 3:20PM May the winds of fate carry you to fortune.

Realm Status: Coming back online (WoW)

Dec 8th 2009 3:55PM Just logged on Earthen Ring and found a new pet in the mail. It's hellishly, wonderfully adorable.

Realm Status: Coming back online (WoW)

Dec 8th 2009 3:50PM Oh... MY... Gawd... Corehound Pup!!

Breakfast Topic: A trip to the stylist, part two (WoW)

Nov 15th 2009 9:55AM Mohawks for all! ..And not just a cut and paste of the male gnome, night elf 'hawks. Let's see some punk styles for the women. More hair colors, too. Facial piercings, as well.
...And dances! More with the dances!

Breakfast Topic: Feats of Fail (WoW)

Sep 17th 2009 8:10AM Or perhaps... "Wile E. Coyote - Super Genius".

The Daily Grind: Will you be playing Aion open beta this weekend? (Massively)

Sep 4th 2009 9:22AM I'd really like to give it a try. It looks amazing! I've got the client bit torrent trickling away, but I need to aquire an OB key.

Apple releases Trackpad firmware update for MacBook and MacBook Pro (TUAW.com)

Nov 18th 2008 11:42AM For what it's worth, I didn't have any problem to begin with...In OS X. The only problem I had was in Windows. (Trackpad won't accept tap to click)
....And still won't after update. Oh well. I only boot to XP for light gaming anyway.

Rock Bands Reimagine Album Art and Liner Notes in the Digital Age (Switched)

Nov 10th 2008 3:21PM It would be a complete shame if liner notes were left behind in transition to e-media.
I don't think that individual apps by artists are the answer, though. I think there needs to be something in the media player to read liner notes and lyrics stored as meta data on a purchased track. To an extent iTunes and the iPod already have such a feature, but it needs to be given more polish.
If you'll excuse the pun, the token lip-service such features are given don't cut it.

Wooden Nokia concept phone goes beyond the drawing board, gets built (Engadget)

Oct 13th 2008 4:49PM This is the most beautiful thing I've seen all week. (okay..so it's only Monday. This gets the week off to a good start)
Don't much care for that particular type of wood, though. Ebony or cherry wood would have easily made me drool. I really like the speaker with the screen, and the control dial.
Very Buck Rogers/Ray-gun Punk.

Rumor: Is 'The Brick' a wireless hybrid handheld-slash-Mac? (TUAW.com)

Sep 26th 2008 7:00AM A tablet with the form factor of a netbook would be perfect for me, but I may not be the average user.
I chiefly use a computer to listen to and view media, surf the web, play some old school video games, and do light blogging. Even with a top notch keyboard, my typing speed is so abysmal that typing on an iPhone is just about as fast.
With a device like the speculated tablet, I could have a better screen, better storage, and better processing power than the iPhone. Instead of putzing around on my computer at work, and having to worry about B.B. watching me, I 'd have a nice little device with all my stuff on it that I can just throw into my purse.
Again, it'd be perfect for me, but I don't know how many other people use a computer the same way I do. ;)
