Often times I have wanted to write a bit more indepth about subjects… have them spell checked (image that), proof read and all that but just seemed like a bit much for a blog. So I am going to start sending out a news letter once a month.

Between showing the top commentators on the sidebar and the contest to win a MacBook Air I have had a lot of experience with fighting comment spam. Also from being a moderator at one of the busiest forums on the internet I have seen many methods people use to jackup their post counts. Many times people just post “I agree” or “please pm me” and I find it extremely annoying.

Last Friday I was on the BlackBerry Geeks Podcast. Up until about 2 weeks ago I was a die hard Palm Treo user but the frustrations of the phone locking up, blue tooth incompatibilities, and other bugs led me to the Blackberry world.

Probably a lot of people saw this title and thought it was title bait. It’s not. This article is completely about my addiction with MMORPGS. When I posted the other day about my addiction to MMORPGS I bet most people had no idea the depth of it. Anywhere here it is:

The 125×125px format is super hot for Wordpress blogs and I stumbled across this plugin today that makes managing them a breeze.

I wrote a bout a new service last week called 12 seconds which allows you to record only 12 seconds of a video. The site also has some nice networking features.

I was reading this morning on the BBC website about a 22 year old gamer who purchased a Island in the game Project Entropia for $26,500.00 dollars. Back when I used to play MMORPG games (Everquest, DAOC, WOW) the companies used to be VERY MUCH against you selling an in game content. But lots of people got away with it anyway. I was the first druid in the game of Everquest to reach level 50 (I know I am a nerd) and promptly sold my character on eBay immediately for $2400 wayyyy back in May of 1999. It had taken me about 1 month of hardcore playing (living in the game pretty much) to get to that level so fast. I kept buying accounts… building charectors and selling them on eBay. Sometimes the auctions would get canceled but even when they did I would get offers. I never got as much money as I initially did for that first character.
