EDIT – November 11, 2008: This article is somewhat obsolete as we approach Wrath of the Lich King. Please see my later article, “Move Over Fubar: There’s A New Sheriff In Town!” pubished on November 6, 2008, and its discussion of Data Broker plugins. Many people are familiar with two popular info-bar addons, Titan Panel…

The Week in Review: Blog Highlights for Sept. 21-27
Because of the patch this week, it seemed to me to be a relatively slow week. Or I was just slow to start noting standout bloggings. But that’s okay–the cream always rises. (Why did I write that? I hate tired aphorisms.) Anyway…
My Reaction to the Preliminary 2.3 Patch Notes
WoW Insider just published an article with a lot of tidbits about the now-eagerly-anticipated 2.3 patch, which some guesses are putting at a November release. Here are just a few items that caught my attention:
Just a little crowing…
Or whatever birds of prey do… Osprey now has his Primal Mooncloth Robe, to complete the set! Thanks to a free primal mooncloth creation (my mats, of course) from an up-and-coming tailor named Danielle and one of my guildies, I got the last 2 pieces of Primal Mooncloth needed to make the robe. Now I…
Down with Mailbox Spam!
Okay, I’ve now found something to thoroughly dislike about the 2.2 patch: Auction House mail spam. If you haven’t seen or heard about it yet, when you sell an item in the AH now, you have about a 1 hour wait before your money is delivered to your mailbox. The purpose is to thwart gold…
Patch 2.2: Underwhelming?
By now I’m sure you’ve all read the 2.2 patch notes, and have probably even logged in post-patch. For a patch that seemed to have the gestation period of an elephant, I’m just not seeing anything for the casual gamer (which, remember, is most of us) to get all excited about. Perhaps one reason for…
Jewelcrafting: The good, the bad, the ugly.
The Good: This morning before I left for work, I logged in to find I’d won an auction for a Skyfire Diamond for <75g. Woot! I immediately cut that into a Swift Skyfire Diamond (can you say Rogue goodness?) and put it up for auction for 100-120g. I had sold one yesterday for a net…
Addon of the Week: Ace2
The cognoscenti among you are probably going "huh?" Strictly speaking, Ace2 is not an addon; rather (from the WowAce Wiki) , "Ace2 is a collection of libraries intended to: improve modularity, improve performance, and simplify the addon and library creation process." So what does this mean for non-developers like you and me? Or, what’s in…
UI Add-On of the Week (Coming Soon!)
There are literally thousands of add-ons available to enhance and extend the WoW user interface (UI). A project I am going to start is to highlight at least one a week (usually, one that I use–and trust me, I have lots of material!). I admit it: I’m an add-on geek. As I’ve posted before, I…
This week’s bloglights: Sept. 14-20
The week started with some classic BRK: In this post, he addresses speccing hunter pets for instances, and discusses the merits of one upper-level chestpiece against another. The suspicion here is that priests share brains. Or something. In The Holy Light and Priestly Endeavors, Galadria and Kirk both discuss the merits of various addons. Within…
