Sasquatch 2008

Sasquatch 2008 main stage area. The back drop for the stage was amazing. It was nice being in the middle of no where, with like minded people brought together with one common theme: good music.

Irish Pub

We walked a few miles up hill and found ourselves in the midst of college town.
Good atmosphere with tons of things to do such as shuffle board, darts, and pool. The bartenders alone are worth it ;)

5 Point

This place was about a minute walk from the suites we stayed at in downtown Seattle. It's worth mentioning because we saw ourselves returning every morning to get breakfast coupled with some devilish bloody marrys'. If you are ever in Washington, do yourself a favor and nurse your hang-over at this joint. You will not be disappointed.

Haanh yahi pyaar hai :)

दुनिया मी कितनी है नाफ्रेते,

फिर बे दिलो मी है चाहते,

जाओ कहेदो इस जहा से-

इस जामी से,

इस असम से,

रुख न सके गे,

आब ये मोहब्बतें...

Huzzah!

Since my last blog regarding purchasing a new gadget; I ended up getting a HP Laptop. I couldn't be bothered by the restrictions on the EEE PC. It is an excellent device and I plan to get one in the future, but for now I am using a Compaq F750US and pretty happy with the purchase. I barely spent $500 on it and it does everything I need it to except run games like I do on my desktop. Good news is WoW runs well with about 20fps, but I don't usually game on here. This thing is purely used as a communicator device. I usually have this running while I am on WoW for AIM and WoWhead purposes. Beats having to run AIM or a browser window behind WoW and it frees up a lil memory. Some quick specs: 1.9 AMD dual core with a gig of ram and nvidia's 7000m series notebook graphics card.

When I'm at work, I use my nokia n73 to modem to AT&T and use my phone's GPRS connection to access the internet. It definitely gets the job done!!! Atleast I can read all my WoW blogs without work's filter blocking everything out when I'm on their network.

As for WoW, I did break 1900 rating on BG5 to obtain my s3 weps. They are fully enchanted and I am kicking some major ass. It is def a big upgrade from s1 weapons.

ops! Work stuff calls...more later!!

Recent happenings ...

It's been a while since I blogged. I'm actually sitting here at work trying to figure out whats the next best gadget I can splurge on for my birthday. Choices are abundant, but I have to narrow it down to what best suit my needs. Since I am a die hard nokia fan, the N810 was the first device I looked at. I even thought of investing in a PSP or DSlite, but I don't play enough games on the go to need one. My focus is mostly on mobile productivity & connectivity. I am thinking of developing (or learn to atleast) some mobile applications and I'll need a device that I can work on ... "on the go." I want/need a portable device that almost has the power of a laptop, but not quite the price tag that a decent laptop comes with. If I plan on spending money on a laptop ($2k+) it will definitely be a "desktop replacement" and it will completely replace my current home PC.

When I am at work, I need something I can connect to the Internet using my 3g connection and n73. The safe filter here at work blocks out a lot of regular sites I visit, and it's annoying not be able to catch up on my reading. After careful research I have decided to give the ASUS EEE PC a try. Luckily, I have a friend who works for ASUS and he gets quite a good deal on one. Now, this is little gadget has gotten quite the reviews ... many customers out there are fully satisfied with this product. And since the EEE PC comes with a modified version of Linux it will give me a chance to mess around with a different OS. I've been putting off installing Free BSD on my 2nd PC for quite some time now. This beau seems to be the next best thing for me productivity wise. Good bye to paper/pen note-taking during lectures. The size is amazing and perfectly fits my mobile needs. You can check out some pictures of the EEE PC on Flickr. Whats even better is the price tag it comes with. ~$400 !! Can't wait to get my hands on one soon!

On the WoW front: I transfered servers... BG9 is extemely overated and the competition on there is something I cannot keep up with. When some of the best arena teams in the world come from BG9, you can imagine competition in this battlegroup. My crew and I moved to US-PVP server Detheroc which is on BG5- Shadowburn. Upon arriving to my new server ... my buddy Gabe (Serephim 48/11/0) and I broke 1850+ in 2v2 bracket. Our track record is 37 wins and 6 losses. I also switched from my muti playstyle to shadowstep (3/15/43). This new playstyle is definitely fun...a lot more mobility!!! I do miss the eyecandy mutilates :( BUT not enough. I feel it's a fair trade for the mobility issues I was facing when fighting druid/xxx teams or just generally any class that kited me around :( The plan is to hit 2k rating in the 3s with Eric.. Dankh + Fazee + Serephim = RMP = RAWR. Whisper Dankh or Pawan (Hunter alt =D)and say hi if you play on Detheroc. I'd love to make some new friends since I left many back on Blackrock :(

Google music trends

I enabled sharing of my music trends. It's a pretty neat feature especially if you have gtalk running all the time. I use my PC to listen to music most of the time when I'm home. Sometimes I can't be bothered to figure out what I want to listen to. With a few clicks I can see what other users have been playing.

It's a nice history for the type of music you listen to without any hassle of maintaining a list. I'm all for lifeblogging so any kind of trends that I can effortlessly keep track of, I'll utilize.

What I usually do ...

If you pay attention to my shared items in google reader, you can see what are some of the stuff I usually keep myself update on. Most of my blogrolls are WoW related. My daily reads consist from various Rogue's in the WoW community to everything else.

I don't theorycraft as much as these other rogue's, but my playstyle differs a lot from them and I have an itch to start my own. You can also checkout my rogue's profile here and there is a perma link to the right. My WoW playtimes are very consistent and I keep pretty up to date on all happenings in game. I happen to also be the guild leader of Mob Squad on Blackrock. We are a group of real life friends and consider ourselves moderate to hardcore gamers. Some of us more than others. You can check out the guild roster if you follow my armory link and click on the guild tab. Having some sort of leadership role in the WoW community gives me reason to feed my officers with all the updates and interesting tid-bits I come across. This is where google reader comes in. It keeps me up to date on all the latest rogue postings as well as all game updates. WoWinsider is probably my favorite WoW community site. They have great bloggers and each class has their section of columns posted by other avid WoW players.

I still don't have enough reason to make a separate blog for my rogue, but I will continue to comment on my fellow rogue's blogs with this account. Maybe I'll add more WoW fanboi stuff to represent that I am avid WoW player :P Ha.

Season 3 begins tommorrow. I wouldn't say I am ready at all. I have 4500+ arena points, and my dual goose enchants set. This gives me enough points to upgrade my S1 daggers to S3, and perhaps an extra S3 piece. I am shooting for the Chest, legs, head -- in that order. Completion of this set will give me over 1k in armor debuff and 33%+ crit. The area that I am hurting the most is my BG honor tally. I barely have 20k honor and that does not give me enough points to upgrade all my veteran pieces. It might take a few months to get those pieces replaced, but obtaining S3 gear is priority. I happen to do well towards s2 and ended up on 2000+ rated teams for both my 2s and 3s. We did not concentrate on 5s much. Shoutouts go to Kabura and Endugu. We did well with our priest/rogue/rogue combo.

Lets see what Season 3 entails ... oh BTW avoiding the hype I am sticking to my dual dagger 41/0/20 mutilate build. Hemo as powerful as it sounds is overrated. (I did test it on PTR, it is powerful :P) Go mutilate, because it is the most enjoyable spec I have played, and I will stay true to it. I am damn good with the spec and have defeated various good pvpers with it too.

Book

This is whats currently keeping me entertained at work.

Nokia Fanatic!

I ordered a n73. Candybar style :) Think I am going to like it much better than my n75. Flip phones and I don't get along.

Orb

I fell upon Orb many months ago when it was still in beta. It seems like AOL has picked it up and done a very good job with it. Partnering up with winamp (which is also owned by AOL), orb does an excellent job in sharing your music and files for any kind of remote access. I have pretty much left my ipod alone and listen to my music directly from my nokia n75.

I encourage everyone to start an account.


www.orb.com

I have gigs of music up for share ... if you want to friend me on winamp orb maybe we can trade.

Good start to a Tuesday ..

I got up early to go play some tennis. The weather was nice and it was not too hot. The sun did not even come out till 1pm. My strokes are getting consistent. I am hitting the ball where I want to. I am serving bigger, harder, and consistently. Despite my game getting better...I lost to Sean. We went 6-4, 6-4. I'll get him next time.

Meredith Gray from Grey's Anatomy drowned. I cried. Episode 55 is the saddest one I've seen.

On the bright side, there is a new show that I think I'll enjoy. Big Shots!
