I think it’s worth watching this 9-minute YouTube video of a Korean World of Warcraft wedding just once, even though the constant camera motion will make you dizzy and the echoing quality of any vocals is just plain eerie, for the pure WTF?!-value.

Well, we’re another step closer to having that business and being able to roll out a couple of new things. In the meantime, our partner-in-crime keeps coming up with Mother’s Day Warcraft shirts. And I think my GIMP skills are improving, so they’re coming out pretty well.

We just got this furnace put in this summer. Today it seems to be spewing out fumes and sounding funny. So, I turned off the heat and someone will be by tonight to check it out. Thankfully it’s a sunny day and there’s a nice bay window in this room. I still feel kind of cruddy from the fumes, but hopefully that’ll wear off soon.

We decided to try out a restaurant nearby last night that we’ve wanted to try forever. It’s a weird combination of a sort of downscale decor with upscale food. When you look around at the cheap veneered tables you just don’t expect the sheer awesomeness of the sesame-curry crusted salmon.

I know I’ve talked about some of my favorite Warcraft UI mods before, but it’s been a while, and mods change frequently. So, here we go, another foray into a few of my favorites; most of these can be found at Curse Gaming.

Foton over at AFK Gamer pointed the way to a nifty new online toy: the World of Warcraft item and spell creator, on which you can create nifty-looking items and spells and let folks rate them. There are a ton of options–it’s really quite well done–and it’s a lot of fun to play with:

I’ve noted many articles and rants about how helpless the current crop of youngsters seems to be. I’ve read about “helicopter parents” who flutter around their kids well past when they’ve left home, constantly rushing to their defense, aid or rescue. I’ve read about parents pestering companies who rejected their children’s applications, and even in one case going to an interview in place of an actual applicant(!)–needless to say the kid didn’t get the job. While it may seem a small example, the best example I’ve seen of this with my own eyes is when questing in Outland, the World of Warcraft expansion.

I’ve spent more time in Outland now, so it’s time for some additional thoughts. I have to admit, it’s one heck of an expansion!
