That’s a wrap (Dec and 2008 stats)

December is over as is 2008, so I guess I’d better get busy doing my stats. For December things shaped up like so: Most Hits EVE Mission Running with 46 EVE – How To with 35 Snow in Prescott…kinda… with 28 Preparing for Yuletide with 26 Hellgate Mini-Game and other goodies with 18 Woot!  I think that’s a first for all of my top-5 entries being in double digits!  Total hits went down slightly from December a year ago, from 397 to 311. The top search engine term was for “Lemegeton,” so I really ought to … Continue reading

2008 is done

My first full calendar year of blogging – woot!  I actually hit my 1-year anniversary last September, but having a full Jan-Dec. calendar year of blogs is kind of cool too! So let’s see… as for gaming in 2008 I did stints in EVE, LotRO, AoC, DAoC, WAR, Wiz101, WoW, Hellgate, CoX, and minimally some Guild Wars (mainly to see what my annual gift pets were, LOL).  I think I’m getting bored with the whole genre though as I can’t seem stay interested in any one of them more than 2-3 … Continue reading

Back Home

Christmas with my family up in Utah was great!  I got back home to Prescott safely last weekend, although I did have to traverse nearly 200 miles of snow and ice-packed roads.  Nothin’ like a white knuckle ride to get ya’ goin’ over the holidays.  I only saw two accidents – both were big rigs.  One had gone off the road and tipped over on it’s side, only one cop car was there, so it had happened shortly before I drove by. The other was just the burned out remains … Continue reading

Shopping’s Done!

Yay!  Now I get to do wrapping and stuff.  It’s certainly MUCH colder up here in Utah – and snowier too!  My mom has a thermometer just outside one of the kitchen windows and it’s usually down in the single digits every morning – one of the reasons I left Utah many years ago for slightly more sunny fields.  At least when we get snow in Zone 7, it usually only lasts a couple days or so. The only gaming I’ve been doing lately has been Wizard 101.  It’s a … Continue reading

Snow in Prescott…kinda…

So I’ve been through my first winter storm in Prescott, AZ.  It was kind of bizarre.  The snow really started falling last Sunday, Dec. 14 and pretty much kept falling until yesterday morning, Dec. 18th.  And it wasn’t just “flurries,” I was raised in Salt Lake and have also been in Portland, OR ice storms. This was a good, steady snow storm – which from my previous experiences should have laid down a thick blanket of snow at least 24 inches deep or more (in fact a staff member that … Continue reading
