World Of Warcraft

So I have been avoiding this post because video games are not as important as real life. Money will always be the number one subject of the blogs that I post. If you are looking for a MMORPG, however, World of Warcraft is the game that I recommend.

MMORPG stands for Massive Multi-player Online Role Playing Game. These are games that you play on the Internet with thousands if not millions of other people. Currently there are ten million people playing World of Warcraft otherwise known as WoW. This game has my vote because it is a beautiful world, it is very extensive with many places to explore, and it has emersive gameplay. WoW is the best game I have ever played on any system. I will post blogs as I find issues that concern me or that I think need looking at in regards to this game.

Ever “Googled” Yourself?

Well, I have found a site that has made it easier than ever. PeekYou.com is an advanced people search engine designed to put you into contact with old classmates, co-workers, or friends that you haven’t seen in a while. All you have to do is go to their page, and fill out the fields for first and last name. If you know any of your friend’s handles online they have a search filed for that too. On the left side of the screen they have a drop-down area that can help you refine your search by where they live and you don’t even have to navigate away from the screen. So try it, go “PeekYou” yourself!

Make yahoo maps match your site

Published by under Maps

I found several people talking about ways to custom skin maps from yahoo to match the site you are using them on. I love the Google and yahoo maps, but I am not a big fan of the standard colors that they are bordered with. Today I found that other people have had this issue as well, and there is a way to change the look of the yahoo maps for your site with flash 8.

Now I have flash 8, but I have used it very little. I’m not the artist I wish I was, and the first few flash tutorials had me wishing for a vacation in Siberia. I love what flash does, but the small time lines and scripting languages are just not my cup of tea. If anyone would like to draw up some flash maps that focus on a coffee theme, I’d love to have one!

Mind Mapping

Published by under Maps

Mind mapping is not my favorite term for it, but it’s what most people know it by I guess. I think mind mapping, or getting the flow out on paper as I like to call it, is a powerful tool. I have drawn so many mind maps over the years, it has helped me accomplish the multiple businesses and relationship goals I have set for my life. With getting the flow out on paper I would just have too much stuff stuck in my head.mind map

It’s a great way to get rid of stress for me, and helps to get it all out. I am often amazed at how much easier I can sleep, or move on to other things once I have jotted down all my semi connected random thoughts. I also find new area of inspiration, and sometimes find things that are deep in my mind that I had not been overly consciously aware of.

Last year when it came time to get everything together for vacation I had to use a mind map. It is rare that I get to spend two weeks are from work, and there were so many things on my mind, without a mind map we would have never made it to Hawaii, much less been able to have a good time while there. My mind mind helped me plot out everything that needed to be done before we left, and helped me stay on focus to have a good time and enjoy it while we were there.

The vacation mind map saved me time and money, I recommend everyone jot down mind maps on a regular basis.
