Mac to Samsung TV via HDMI and “Mode Not Supported”
I’ve had a Mac Mini hooked up in my living room and being used as an HTPC for a while now.  However, as the Mac Mini doesn’t have HDMI-out, I wasn’t able to get it set up as I really wanted, which was to have …

Equinox Returns!
I previously wrote about our hero Equinox (Defender of the Horde!) back in 2007.  Basically, it’s sort of a graphic novel based in and created with WoW.  The author had taken an extended break, but I was very excited to learn recently that new stories …

Prot Paladin Raid Cooldown
Yes, it’s another WoW post. =)  Many protection spec paladins (i.e. tankadins) aren’t aware that a new damage reduction cooldown was added in the most recent patch (3.3), so I figured I’d help get the word out.  So, in patch 3.3, the Divine Guardian talent …

Time for Comments Again
I turned off commenting quite a while back due to the fact that the overwhelming majority of comments the site received were spam.  I got tired of being reactive and cleaning it up and since this site really doesn’t get much legitimate commenting (hey, I …

Holy Paladins - a.k.a. Healadins
Warning: if you don’t care about WoW, you won’t care about this. =)  However, since WoW is one of my bigger pastimes - and I’m woefully slacking on posting to the site - I figured I might as well share some info. My main character …

Tips For Your Vehicle Gas
I recently received one of those “chain letter” type emails, this one purporting to be from someone working in the gas/oil industry and giving some tips on how to get the most out of your gas.  (It also, of course, encouraged me to email it …

Warcrafter
Searching around for something to allow me to "try out" gear, I found Warcrafter, which is pretty neat. It's still "beta", but lots of nice features. And, of course, there's Ghrikk.

VeriSign’s at it Again
Well, it looks like VeriSign (aka Network Solutions) is at it yet again: being one of the scum of the internet.  This time, they’re proactively squatting on domains that people are looking up.  Check that link for details, but the short, short version is that …

For the third year in a row, Drew McLellan is serving up another 24 helpings of web design/development goodness.  I’ve mentioned the other two years previously, but the annual 24 Ways site is always great. So far, the day one Transparent PNG article, the trick …

Neighborhood Walkability
Neat site that utilizes Google information and maps to get a quick look at how "walkable" your neighborhood is. I'd love to live somewhere that I could walk to lots of stores and such rather than having to drive.

Nice, upcoming WoW site that lets you find gems/enchants as well as has user-submitted information on tradeskill crafting. Once more profiles are added, it should be a nice way to find people to craft items, do enchants, etc.

Leopard’s Blue Screen of Death
Most Windows users are at least aware of the existence of the dreaded “Blue Screen of Death” (BSoD) that can occur when a particularly bad error surfaces.  Rarely do Mac OS X users encounter the same sort of thing, but apparently that isn’t the case …

Next Midrange Graphics Card
If the AnandTech review is accurate (and I've always liked their reviews), the forthcoming NVIDIA 8800 GT card may be a fantastic compromise between great performance and moderate price.
