Content in Age of Conan is a bit too sparse after level 45. Doesn't look like it's going to get any better until at least level 60.

Phase 1 of PC gaming upgrade complete. Radeon 5770 = the shiznit. Even on PCI Express 1.0. Phase 2 = Core i5 motherboard... someday.

Kudos also to Blizzard - World of Warcraft runs on a 1GB netbook, too. Too bad I can't remember how to play my Hunter.

We are trying a Domino's pizza tonight to see if they don't suck anymore. The Domino's Tracker on their web site is pretty cool.

Age of Conan Upgraded

I enjoyed the Age of Conan trial enough to plop down the measly $20 to upgrade to the full version (which gets you 32 days of playing time).

Google Buzz: It's exactly like Twitter.. and Facebook.. and FriendFeed.. but it's Google. So yeah, now there's another feed to maintain.

This morning was the worst commute ever.. rush hour, slushy/slippery roads, blowing snow and near-zero visibility. Neato.

Running NoScript+RequestPolicy really highlights how messed up newspaper and tv station web sites are.

I just realized: Paying bills online is actually less efficient than writing checks b/c everybody's payment web interface is different.

Walking outside this morning is like walking through a huge 7-11 Slurpee tanker spill.

Age of Conan Free Trial [updated]

I downloaded the Age of Conan free trial a while back and played a character through level 18 (which doesn’t take very long). This is a game I’ve always wanted to try, but never got around to it until now.

My JL Cooper syncMaster is dead. So much for synchronizing old, old MIDI tracks with old, old ADAT tapes.

StumbleUpon only recommends kitten pictures to me. While I do like kitten pictures, surely there must be something else it can recommend?

Somebody needs to hit the Turbo button on The Internet today. It's entirely too slow.

(Which is not to suggest that the SOTU *didn't* contain its share of half-truths and propaganda, mind you.)

Okay well this guy is a (social conservative) Republican talking-point robot. Speech filled with half-truths and misleading propaganda.
