I've been a huge fan of Ellis for years and this new comic looks pretty darn good. #http://www.chriscurtis.org/weblog/quickcomments/1192/ Humor 2008-02-18T01:31:00-06:00 http://www.warcrafter.net/ http://www.warcrafter.net/#When:13:38:00Z 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 Ghrikk. #http://www.chriscurtis.org/weblog/quickcomments/1186/ Computers & Software, World of Warcraft 2008-01-19T13:38:00-06:00 http://www.walkscore.com/ http://www.walkscore.com/#When:07:27:03Z 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. #http://www.chriscurtis.org/weblog/quickcomments/1182/ Real Life 2007-12-15T07:27:03-06:00 http://freewithmats.com/ http://freewithmats.com/#When:17:40:00Z Nice, upcoming WoW site that lets you find gems/enchants as well as has user-submitted information on tradeskill crafting. Once more profiles are added, it should be a nice way to find people to craft items, do enchants, etc. #http://www.chriscurtis.org/weblog/quickcomments/1181/ World of Warcraft 2007-12-05T17:40:00-06:00 http://www.tuaw.com/2007/11/07/snatch-back-wasted-disk-space-from-leopards-jaws/ http://www.tuaw.com/2007/11/07/snatch-back-wasted-disk-space-from-leopards-jaws/#When:14:37:00Z I used "Monolingual" myself a while back, but here's some good info on possible options. Be sure to read the comments, too. #http://www.chriscurtis.org/weblog/quickcomments/1180/ 2007-11-08T14:37:00-06:00 http://www.getrichslowly.org/blog/2007/10/29/how-much-do-compact-fluorescent-bulbs-really-cost/ http://www.getrichslowly.org/blog/2007/10/29/how-much-do-compact-fluorescent-bulbs-really-cost/#When:13:29:00Z Someone does some quick math showing just how much you can save in even a single month by switching your lights from regular incandescents to CFLs. #http://www.chriscurtis.org/weblog/quickcomments/1179/ Real Life 2007-10-30T13:29:00-06:00 http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3140 http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3140#When:13:36:00Z If the AnandTech review is accurate (and I've always liked their reviews), the forthcoming NVIDIA 8800 GT card may be a fantastic compromise between great performance and moderate price. #http://www.chriscurtis.org/weblog/quickcomments/1177/ Computers & Software 2007-10-29T13:36:00-06:00 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2_ueohYRhU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2_ueohYRhU#When:10:54:00Z So, apparently, this is a real Toyota commercial that was aired this week during a college football game. Don't know about you, but I was cracking up! #http://www.chriscurtis.org/weblog/quickcomments/1171/ News, World of Warcraft 2007-10-07T10:54:00-06:00 http://www.kk.org/cooltools/archives/001942.php http://www.kk.org/cooltools/archives/001942.php#When:19:27:01Z The Cool Tools site posted a tip for using common plastic wrap to package non-fragile items such as books when you're moving. I never would have thought of something like this, but it really does sound like a great idea. #http://www.chriscurtis.org/weblog/quickcomments/1170/ Real Life 2007-09-30T19:27:01-06:00 http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2007/09/18.html http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2007/09/18.html#When:09:27:01Z Joel Spolsky gives a fascinating analogy about where web software may be going by looking at the history of other software. #http://www.chriscurtis.org/weblog/quickcomments/1167/ Computers & Software 2007-09-19T09:27:01-06:00
