Back at Gather
Filed Under Gather, Me | Leave a Comment
My hiatus at Gather was short lived. Turns out I’m a bit of an overreacting, melodramatic idiot at times. Yeah, I was surprised too.
I guess part of me felt as if I was using Gather as a crutch in place of actual success, and that by leaving the site it would allow me [...]

Then challenge me to a face off!
Yeah, I’ve been playing a lot of Guitar Hero III. Well, not a “lot” lot; I probably play less of GH than I ever did WoW, but I enjoy it even more. Worst thing about the online play of GH is having the wireless cut out or [...]

It was an impulse buy today at Borders whilst I was shopping for another [...]

Newsweek circa 1995:
The truth in no online database will replace your daily newspaper, no CD-ROM can take the place of a competent teacher and no computer network will change the way government works.
That brings up another problem with the internet. Specifically, his shortsighted ignorance is now archived online forever. Even though amost [...]

It’s days like today that get the weatherman shot.
Yes, I realize he’s not technically responsible for the weather we’re having, but he still bears the brunt of the blame whenever he gets it wrong or calls for more bad weather than we’re willing to accept. There has to be someone to blame for these [...]

Happy Friday everyone. Here’s where you can find me today:
I have a new post up over at Scrivel (technically it’s been up since Tuesday) which focuses on the virtual death of one of my online personas:
Goodbye Cruel World (of Warcraft)

No, not this one. Surprisingly I’m still fond of the one I made for the blog.
I’m referring to the new one over at The Dimmer Switch. I’m building a new template from scratch. I found an amazing tutorial over at WPDesigner which gives step by step instructions on how to create a [...]
