Ashes Blog: Where did Ashes go? →
ashesapp:
Critics are the harshest at times. Ashes has made over $1300 in 6 days, so I could easily blow it off, but I want to respond. Know that I don’t do so to get your love, but to hopefully offer some explanation.

It Takes Planning, Caution to Avoid Being 'It' →
Earlier this month, Brian Dennehy started a new job as chief marketing officer of Nordstrom Inc. In his first week, he pulled aside a colleague to ask a question: How hard it is for a nonemployee to enter the building?
Mr. Dennehy doesn’t have a particular interest in corporate security. He just doesn’t want to be “It.”
Mr. Dennehy and nine of his friends have...

All is calm.
Suddenly:
“Increase flow bivalve to maximum!” I quickly reach for the knob, twisting it all the way around.
“Engage omnicron array!” I say.
Another voice jumps in. “Agitate the posimuffler! Quickly!”
I glance at the timer for the array. It is dwindling. “Engage the omnicron array,” I repeat.
“Uhhh…reduce flow...

open areas: Quick notes on Borderlands 2 →
Brief aside: You should play more games and do more “quick notes” posts because really those are the best kinds of posts. That said, here’s a weird reply/response/request for additional responses until I do my own version of this.

Citibank ATM gripe
Sometime within the past month or two, Citibank added the option to get an email record of your ATM transaction. It might have always been there, but this new implementation adds a new screen before ending your session asking if you’d like to receive a printed receipt, an emailed copy, or exit.

Thoughts on Elemental in 5.0.4
I remember when WoW 2.0 dropped, and everybody was running around with their level 70 talents at 60.
