The Goal Ever since I bought my MacBook Pro, over a year ago, I’ve been seeking a blogging platform for the Mac comparable to Windows Live Writer. What I Want True WYSIWYG editing: What you see is what you get. Compare the screenshot below to what you’re actually seeing here on the Aerie. (Feed readers,…

Friday Five: Software
Welcome to what I hope will be a weekly feature at the Aerie: A listing of five “things” with a similar theme. This week it happens to be software; next week, it could be irritations, ice cream flavors, or beers. Who knows what may strike my fancy? What Do I Mean By “Software”? Well…how about…
For Better or For Worse…I’m a Mac
At this time yesterday (Wednesday) I had no intention of writing this article. In fact, today’s post was going to be “Meanwhile, Back In WoW.” Guess that’ll have to wait till tomorrow or next week. For quite some time, I’ve been having “issues” with my PC. In World of Warcraft, for example, I’ve done two…
Playing With Mac Software
Friday, Mrs K and I met up with a college friend and her husband for lunch. Karen and I dated briefly at UCLA. During my junior year, “one day at band camp,” she introduced me to the future Mrs Kestrel. Karen was one of Mrs K’s bridesmaids, and a few years later, returned the favor…and…

Xoxide is proud to kick off the summer season with the launch of its latest contest, the World of Warcraft Video Contest….
Audio in WoW: How I Listen to Two Sound Feeds
This morning on Twitter, I happened to mention that during raids, I have game sounds coming through my speakers, while I listen to Ventrilo (and Skype) through my headset. A couple Twitterati, Kadomi, who tanks like a girl, and Stoppableforce, who is a Stoppable Force, asked how I manage that. It took me a few…
The Aerie’s Nest
Earlier today, I mentioned in BA Chat that I was about to assemble a new dual-monitor stand, and Matt demanded pictures. I didn’t think to take any “before” shots, but here are a shot of the assembled stand sans monitors, and couple shots of both the finished product, and some close-ups of my new Microsoft…
Getting My Geek On
In the booming metropolis that is Rapid City, South Dakota, we have two choices for cell phone carriers: Slim, and None AllTel or Verizon. Because we travel quite a bit,1 we need the broader coverage Verizon provides. Still, I’d like to see some more competition here. It’s time to upgrade our phones again, and I’d…
SiteMeter – Internet Explorer Problem Resolved
Saturday afternoon, SiteMeter put up this notice on their blog, explaining the problem I blogged about in the wee hours Saturday morning. I’ve reinstalled my SiteMeter code; if you still get the error, refresh again (what I did) or clear your cache. Reading various reactions to the problem (and I admit mine was definitely born…
