Ramblings of a gamer
Or so it seems. I really don’t mean to wait so long between posts, but it seems to happen every month. Here’s a quick update on what’s going on in my world. New job is still great and I’m loving the travel. I hit Silver with Hilton and am over halfway to Silver with Delta, …
I realized all my travel with work is hard enough for me to keep up with, much less everyone else. I have spent quite a bit of time trying to update everyone of where I have or will be traveling. Since my friends are spread all over the country, and some overseas, I will try …
I have been losing interest in WoW lately, only occasionally logging in to PvP with friends when asked. I know the expansion is coming out soon, but I’m sure it’s going to be more of the same. The weekends are spent on CoX (City of Heroes/Villains) or C&C3 (Command & Conquer 3), since this is …

My blog is hit regularly but my protection settings block them while the few that get through sit in the background awaiting my approval/deletion. Apparently my Wiki project is not so fortunate. Most of the spam is blocked, but …
If the Red shirt thing is new to you, read below for how it went for a man… Last week, while traveling to Chicago on business, I noticed a Marine sergeant traveling with a folded flag, but did not put two and two together. After we boarded our flight, I turned to the sergeant, who’d been invited to sit in First Class (across from me), …
Throughout the history of gaming there have been websites and forums dedicated to informing the masses. I have met many new friends through these and love to keep in contact with them even after the games are gone. The one group that stands out the most is Salslak, which originated as a SWG (Star Wars …
Every summer I make a list of movies I’m eagerly awaiting and this year is no exception. Iron Man was a Blockbuster smash hit and I saw it twice during the opening weekend. I am a HUGE Iron Man fan and he’s always been my favorite comic book hero – flawed, human, realistic. If you …
I updated WordPress, which fixed a bug with aNobii Plugin and now they both work. I cleaned up some backend maintenance and the site should load a bit faster. aNobii works like Flickr, but with books.
