This week in the Hesperia Star

World of Paris
Blizzard Entertainment is holding a fan event in Paris this June. That’s only mildly interesting, unless you’re going.
What’s more interesting is the map of Paris they’ve put up, in the style of the maps in World of Warcraft comparing, say, Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris to Light’s Hope Chapel in the Eastern Plaguelands.
Cute stuff.
Pardon our dust …
I’m going to be upgrading this blog to Wordpress 2.something shortly (only, what, two years late?) and playing around a bit with templates for the next few days. If you see a logo that doesn’t look like mine, it isn’t; I just haven’t built a new one yet.
Likewise, there will be some new modifications made, and probably turned on and off as I decide which I like. If there’s any that you like (or miss — the old ones will likely just be going away), feel free to say so.
EDIT #1: Upgrade complete. New templates and mods coming next.
EDIT #2: I think I’m going to go with this theme, although it’s going to need a lot of customization.
EDIT #3: Gravatars enabled. No, I don’t have these, either, but I’ve seen them on some blogs, and liked them. I intend to set up a few. If you’ve got custom avatars, they’ll show up on this blog now, and in the future.
EDIT #4: OK, the whole page re-rendering every time a tab is clicked on the Branford Magazine template was irritating me. I think I’ll go with this one instead.
LEGOS robot solves Rubik’s Cube
Of course, my robot would do it even faster: It’d just pop out one of the corner pieces with a pocket knife and reassemble the cube from there.
