Ah, March. 70 degrees Farenheit one day, snowing the next. I love my state.
Anyway, with the weather in a bit of confusion, there are other winds afoot as well, stirring things about in a bit of pre-spring restlessness. (At least up here in the Northern Hemisphere. Apologies to those of you down south.)
The MMO Melting Pot “blogger map” is alive and kicking. It’s an interesting stalking tool, er, datapoint. These MMO things are pretty diverse, and it’s interesting to see that reflected in blogs as well, though it would be great to see some African or other Asian entries. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the views over at TK Nation (among them the classic China’s War Beyond Azeroth article).
On a lamentable note, Larisa over at the Pink Pigtail Inn has posted a heartfelt farewell. She is an excellent writer with a heart of gold, and she will be sorely missed. Life moves on, though, and nobody blogs forever. Fair winds, Larisa!
And yes… I’m working on another Balance article dealing with time. It’s a somewhat substantive topic, so I’m trying to find the best way to parse and present things. In the meantime, I’ve been indulging in yet another art challenge at work. This time, well… it’s a bit of a change from what one might expect. Let’s just say that my childhood in the 80s was a fairly pleasant one, but my imagination goes in funny directions sometimes. Care Bears mixed with Voltron? Sure, why not?
Interesting blogger map, a bit limited and wow heavy.
Yeah, I have to wonder what it would look like with a bit broader topic base. It’s not like I maintain a WoW heavy blog… my blogroll over there is all over the place, and my articles almost even more so.
So I can put myself in the Blogger map?
I’m from the Philippines!
As far as I know, they just take whomever wants to sign up. May as well, hm? You maintain a great blog, why not?
I am going to check out that blogger map. I’m not from the Philippines, but my parents are!
I’ve been blogging for six years, and lots of great blogs have come and gone (and come back again). It’s the way of the world.
Farewell Tesh and thank you for the kind words! I will lurk a little in the shadows for a while more at least while I slowly start to explore the gaming universe which is so much bigger than WoW. A reader gave me Planescape Torment as a farewell gift and it looks like a place as good as any other to go…
The map: just give Rebecca at MMO Melting pot a shout and shell happily offer you a pin.
Oh, and once again thank you for the piggies… I think they will come to use actually, after my blog is gone. Wait and see…
/hug
Hehe its nice to see that there are MMO bloggers near me – shall have to submit myself!
I think the blogger map is a cool idea but I declined to be on it just because I don’t want people knowing where I live. City, fine, but street? No thanks. It’s especially weird for me though considering both Rebecca (the MMO Melting Pot guru) and I live in the same city! In fact, according to the blogger map, she doesn’t live all that far away from me
Not that I have anything against her knowing where I live but I’d rather not share the information with the entire world 
I only submitted my city. I’m pretty sure you can just give as much info as you like and that’s all she’ll put in there.
