Sometimes I get the distinct feeling that there are vast levels of interactivity to the internet that I have yet to tap. Creating a MySpace profile was one step I took to remedy that feeling, and I now see the simple genius behind social networking. As social animals, sites like this capitalize on a basic [...]
This picture was sparked by my mother-in-law. On the fourth of July weekend we went to visit for a cookout. It was a lot of fun. She decided the boys, Izzy and Will, my nephew who is a year older than Izzy, needed some water to play with outside to keep them cool. She filled [...]
It’s been a while since I surfed the internet without any particular goal in mind. Appropriately enough, I found a nice web game to help alleviate my boredom. Called Curveball, it’s sort of a three-dimensional twist on classic pong. Be careful, though, because the game’s AI is deceptively skilled. It’s easy to beat when you [...]
My son has never had his room clean for more than twenty minutes, which is long enough for me to vacuum his room. And when I have completed this task you would never know it. Those toy bins I bought never have toys in them… only boys named Izzy. Ah well, I guess he needed [...]
I came across this video on my old raid-guild-to-be’s forums. As machinimas go, especially World of Warcraft machinimas, it’s not the best choreography, but it’s hilarious nonetheless. And it definitely echoes a question burning in the mind of many male players. After all, is there really a lot of difference between a robe and a [...]
So Izzy and I are back from going grocery shopping. It’s about my fourth trip up and down the stairs bringing the groceries into the kitchen when I look down to see Izzy playing with his toys. I go to ask him to move out of the way and I think I see… his… arm?! [...]
Sorry my picture taking isn’t the best, I tried to make the image smaller so it wouldn’t look so shaky. But anyway, back to Izzy. He ran around the house all day long…. and then kept running. I got on the computer to talk to Stephen for a little while and I turned back and [...]
As most players will tell you, World of Warcraft can, and often does, become an all-consuming pastime. What with my background in psychology, I’m not generally one to throw around terms like “addictive” offhandedly. The game is definitely compelling, however. Up until a few months ago, I played it for several hours a day almost [...]
So today went like any other. After lunch, 1:00 rolls around and Izzy takes a nap. He wakes up at about 3:00, pretty normal for him. I can hear him in his room calling me, so I pause with the dishes to go check on him. I open the door and gasp! To my surprise, [...]
Hmm, what am I going to write about? Well, I’m a 22 year old stay-at-home mom with a wonderful husband, Stephen, a great little boy, Izzy, and not much to do all day. My hubby has been trying to get me to contribute to his website in some way so I decided I would write [...]
