The final batch of Blizzcon ticket invites went out yesterday, and since I do not have a message in my inbox, I did not get tickets.  Part of me is sad, part of me is happy.  The sad part thinks it would have been a really fun trip and a good father-son bonding thing, but [...]

Today’s my birthday.  I’m 34 years old.  I’ve spent nearly 10% of my life in Elko, Nevada.

It’s hard to put my frustration and anger into words.  I’ve been trying to get Blizzcon tickets for 2 days.  I tried at 5:00am on monday.  Not on sale yet.  My wife tried all day monday.  The Blizzard store would allow her to get all the way to the final “confirm order” page and then [...]

Blizzcon, the World Of Warcraft Mecca, is at the Anaheim Convention Center on October 10th and 11th.  This is the WoW event of the year, unless you were in Paris for the WorldWide Invitational a few months ago.  I will be there with bells on.  I’ll be driving with the boy and we’re planning on doing [...]

I’m pretty sure there aren’t any.  So instead, I’ve been watching Brazil vs Germany in Women’s team Handball.  So far the Brazilian team is far more attractive (I’m not real sure about some of those German ladies, if you know what I mean) so I’m rooting for them.
It’s fun to watch some of the more [...]
