Operation Contacts 01
On the job search front, I keep sending resumes out to what mostly feels like impersonal machine hive minds and not actual people looking to hire someone. This makes me sad, since every place I apply to I would love to work at. So today I am going to actually start linking this site and…

Off the Cuff
I am not sure how I missed this when it was first posted, but I think everyone should read this article by “rabbit” over at Gamers with Jobs; A Sense of Place. Also, as you can probably tell from my recent posts, I am impressed by the job Turbine did with Lord of the Rings…

WoW, sorry for my cold shoulder lately
For the last ten weeks or so I have been Raiding in WotLK with my priest. Working most of that time to get better gear and clear achievements, but I did spend a bit of time getting my hunter up to 75. Sadly at this point I am growing bored of the current content. I…
