60 druid, The Venture Co, EU. (13/33/5 feral tank spec) I quit WoW on 26 August 06 03:32 CEST. I decided to quit on the 25th, and luckily the 26th was when my monthly game time was expiring. I’m not sure that I would have gone through with it had I had a longer run […]
Google thought it was time they offered the rest of the world a quick semantic primer: A trademark is a word, name, symbol or device that identifies a particular company’s products or services.

Under construction Remember back in the 90s when half the web had the tacky “Under constuction” animated gifs? I sure do. Well anyway, I’ve decided in order to learn CSS properly I’m going to create me a WordPress Theme. Who knows, if I manage to make it half decent I’ll make it available for download. […]

Wow, Katrina sure did some damage. The pictures from Louisiana and Mississipi are astonishing. And this was the downgraded version. What would a Cat. 5 Katrina have done? Some excerpts from the LA Times-Picayune: Hurricane Katrina struck metropolitan New Orleans on Monday with a staggering blow, far surpassing Hurricane Betsy, the landmark disaster of an […]
New Orleans, my favourite US city, is somewhere under this: I visit there back in ‘99 when on a coast-to-coast road trip (LA to DC, 6480 miles). As my friend and I were driving up the east coast of Florida, we turned to each other simultaneously and said “We have to go backâ€Â. So we […]
