Yes, I know I just posted a 2009 retrospective, but it really wasn’t as meaty as I wanted it to be. So following the lead of my wonderful friend Tami, I want to present to you what I consider the best article I gave you from each month of 2009. Audio in WoW: How I…

Great Wallpaper Site
Lifehacker recently polled its readers for their choice of top wallpaper site on the web. After trimming the votes to the top five sites, the votes were tallied and InterfaceLIFT won out with 36 percent of the total. It didn’t take me long to input parameters such as "Widescreen" and my laptop’s resolution to find…
Where did the year go? A retrospective look at 2009
As I write this, I’m sitting at the breakfast bar in in our vaction house on Kaua’i, at about 9:30 in the morning on December 29. It struck me that there are but three days left in what so many are (incorrectly) labeling the last year of the first decade of the new millenium.1 I’m…
Merry Christmas from the Land of Aloha
If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve opened your Christmas gifts already. So here’s a little lagniappe, if you will: a Merry Christmas article from the Aerie.

Aloha From Kaua’i!
Christmas greetings from Kaua’i! We had a fairly uneventful trip, considering it’s the height of Christmas travel season.

WoW: On the 3.3 Bandwagon
Once again, WoW has regained its "WOW" factor for me. Yes, I know: All week you’ve been reading blog articles about how great the new cross-realm grouping tool is, how it has rekindled flagging interest in the game for so many people. Allow me to jump on that bandwagon. Background I’ve been playing World of…

Get ready for meatier articles later this week: Today, I visit the Saucy Wenches Podcast, where we’ll discuss, for you NaNoWriMo folks, "What next?"
