I have friends that were involved in the World of Warcraft beta. The flimsy descriptions didn’t peak my interest too highly, and I kind of knew that I wouldn’t have time to invest in a MMORPG. I played Ultima Online and EverQuest back in the day. They’re both highly addictive. Fortunately, my wife really enjoyed… Continue reading Prepare to be WoW’d

Higher Grounds Coffee
Tonight, we performed at Higher Grounds Coffee on the corner of Abbott’s Bridge Road and Peachtree Parkway in Duluth. It’s our first time doing an open-mic as Alchemy. We had a good time, though we were all a little nervous. We’re also not used to doing a 15-minute set. More like 2-3 hours on average.… Continue reading Higher Grounds Coffee
Mr. Coffee is Mr. Wrong
I have some quality concerns around my $20.00 Mr. Coffee 4-cup brewer. In a weekend, the time has slipped five minutes. In the course of the day so far, the time is already a minute or more off. In this day and age of digital bliss, I sort of take for granted that digital clocks… Continue reading Mr. Coffee is Mr. Wrong
The North Georgia Celtic Festival
Today we ventured out to the North Georgia Celtic Festival to see the shows. Amy had some real work to do, photographing some of the performers, but Balthazar and I were there just to enjoy the day. This is the fourth annual celebration of Celtic arts, music, and culture hosted by Emerald Rose. We’re good… Continue reading The North Georgia Celtic Festival
MoTD
If you’re already leading a 30-person Java implementation, it’s way too late to go back to the boss and admit you picked the technology because you like coffee. — bugbash.net
Atlanta Flickr Group: Celestial Studios
The Atlanta Flickr Group attended an informal studio lighting seminar my wife put on at her studio in Gainesville, Celestial Studios. Thank you to everyone that was able to come to that. I think it went quite well and gave something to everyone to play with in the future. I’d love it if the group… Continue reading Atlanta Flickr Group: Celestial Studios
Minimum Wage Help
At Starbucks in Gainesville, the staff can be a bit dim at times. I routinely go through the drive-through only to try and convey to them that I have a mug and would like it filled with coffee. I realize that I’ll just have to drive up to the window anyway, but if I don’t… Continue reading Minimum Wage Help
Monday Night and I’m Still Dead
It’s been an entire weekend plus Memorial Day and I’m still dead-tired. I don’t know what the deal is, but it’s a bum deal. I’ve got to get out of this slump, and coffee isn’t doing it. Hopefully, getting back into my workout/racquetball routine will help.
Lazy Saturdays
Today I’m completely exhausted. The whole family slept until nearly 10:00am, which is unheard of for at least Balthazar and I. We all had a bit of a rough night due to Balthazar’s sleepless behavior. I think it’s related to the Augmentin he’s taking for the ear ache, but it could also be growing pains.… Continue reading Lazy Saturdays
An Artsy Fartsy Weblog: The IF Project
Scott Thigpen has a neat idea running on his blog regarding “The IF Project.” I haven’t read the book of virtually the same title, but I’m interested to do so now. It sounds like it would be a good coffee table book – now to just get a coffee table. “The project is to stir… Continue reading An Artsy Fartsy Weblog: The IF Project
