Earthquake!

July 29, 2008

I just felt my first earthquake.  It was relatively small here in San Diego, but enough to make everyone stop what they were doing and look at each other with “WTF” expressions. 
An hour away, Blizzard felt it a bit harder.  I’m totally a Californian.  I’ve been evacuated by wildfires, surfing, and now an earthquake.

Comic Con and SOE Block Party

July 26, 2008

The last few days have been pretty busy, and I’m finally getting time to sit down and write about it.  You always know you’re a blogger when you’re running around enjoying the RL and you find yourself saying “I should blog about this!” and start thinking about how you want to write it.  Don’t say [...]

Comic Con and 1 year anniversary.

July 24, 2008

I’m going to be down at Comic-Con on Friday!  We’re all going down there as an office ‘field-trip’ so to speak, which makes my second Comic-Con as a Metaplace employee. I’m about to get sappy, so beware:
Just 1 year ago I was arriving in San Diego and settling in to my new apartment.  Since then, [...]

Wordpress for iPhone

July 22, 2008

I am currently writing this on the new Wordpress for iPhone app that released today!
It’s about time that I can blog on my iPhone without trying to load my Wordpress dashboard on the EDGE network. Now if only (1 year later) I could type on the touch keyboard well enough to make this even [...]

Blog abbreviated.

July 21, 2008

Real quick weekend notes here.

Went to the Del Mar Racetrack on Saturday.  Luke insisted on betting $5.00 on a horse because the jockey was wearing “shocking pink”.  So, I followed suit and we both won like $200 dollars.  The horse was 43-1 and won.  Man, I love horse racing.  It’s the only gambling venue in [...]

Free Realms Buzz

July 17, 2008

There has been quite a bit of buzz about Free Realms coming out of E3!  Make sure you check out the photos posted on Massively.

Kotaku even called FR “The Best MMO at E3″ which is awesome to hear considering my Luke is a senior designer on the game.  Granted, there wasn’t much MMO news [...]

Everyone Needs a Community Manager

July 16, 2008

There is a good article up today on ReadWriteWeb about Community Managers and how beneficial they can be to any startup company.
There are some good quotes about what CMs are:
A community manager is someone who communicates with a company’s users/customers, development team and executives and other stake holders in order to clarify and amplify the [...]

Final Fantasy XIII Coming to 360!

July 14, 2008

Woooooooot. 
That’s all I can say about this.
I really, really don’t mind that I don’t have a PS3.

Twitter Spam!

July 14, 2008

I’ve tried several times to get into using Twitter, because I wanted to see what the buzz is about. Well, I think the trick is that you have to have friends to follow. I have a few people from work and from the MMO blogosphere now as my followers, and it makes “tweeting” [...]
