Guest Post: Gnew at the Gaerie

While I’m busy enjoying a Mai Tai on Kauai, my friend Gnomeaggedon sent me the following via Aerie Mail, to keep you informed and entertained for a bit. Thank you, sir, and may you have a very GMerry Christmas, and the happiest of GNew Years!   Where the hell is this Gryphon going? This isn’t…

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…

Calling the Wipe: Do’s and Don’ts

Last week, CLOSED underwent its second guild merger of the summer. The first merger was a drama-filled disaster, with only a handful of the original members of THE OROBORUS staying with Closed. But last week, we went from 8 or 9 online on a raid night, to 30-something! As a result, we were in Ulduar-25…

Twitter Hashtag Proposal: #WOWUI

Earlier today, I launched the Curse Client to see if there were any updates for WoW addons I normally update from Curse. In fact, there was one: PitBull4 was updated from Beta 4 to Beta 5. After downloading and installing via the Curse Client, I thought, "Hey…why not tweet about the update? Lots of PitBull…

Friday Five: WoW Blogs You MUST Read

While I don’t write about World of Warcraft nearly as much as I used to, it’s still a very big part of my online life. I probably read about WoW as much as I play it (maybe even more), despite the fact I’ve cut the number of WoW blogsto which I’m subscribed by at least…

The State of the Kestrel and of the Aerie

About 5 minutes ago, I tweeted, "I *want* to write, but I have nothing to write *about.* At least, nothing that anyone but me would want to read. Meh." About 3 minutes ago, I was reading Darren Rowse’s latest update at ProBlogger. While my blogging empire isn’t as expansive as Darren’s doesn’t exist, I dimly…

My WoW UI, a quick peek

Yesterday I tweeted that I was going to work on my WoW UI (and I did…spent all day and most of the evening at it!). Today, a friend IM’d me with a request for some addons, so I decided to post this "Before" pic for her. (The "After" shot will look pretty similar.)  So for…

Meanwhile, back in WoW…

Why yes…yes, I do still play. Why would you ask? Okay, so I haven’t done much in the way of providing “eclectic musings for [any] WoW player” of late, but I did warn you there’d be more to this blog than “just WoW.” However, in the past month, a lot has changed, so I should…

Skier: New Hero Class?

So I was reviewing my Akismet spam today, and found this entry from May 17 in response to Blizzard: You’re Joking, Right?   The competence and commitment of all these employees ensures that Blizzard will continue to play a pioneering role in the ski industry in the future. When I mentioned this in BA Chat,…

Want to Win a World of Warcraft Gaming Mouse?

I don’t do this often—in fact, I’ve never done this before—but because Jason over at Xoxide.com asked so nicely, and because this looks like a totally cool contest, I’m going to promote it. Xoxide is proud to kick off the summer season with the launch of its latest contest, the World of Warcraft Video Contest….
