        Searching around for something to allow me to "try out" gear, I found Warcrafter, which is pretty neat.  It's still "beta", but lots of nice features.  And, of course, there's <a href="http://shadowcouncil-us.warcrafter.net/Ghrikk">Ghrikk</a>. <a href="http://www.chriscurtis.org/weblog/quickcomments/1186/">#</a>

        Neat site that utilizes Google information and maps to get a quick look at how "walkable" your neighborhood is.  I'd love to live somewhere that I could walk to lots of stores and such rather than having to drive. <a href="http://www.chriscurtis.org/weblog/quickcomments/1182/">#</a>

        Nice, upcoming WoW site that lets you find gems/enchants as well as has user-submitted information on tradeskill crafting.
