Featured Comments
Saritha Beauchamp left a comment on Corey Olsen Declares Burglarious Intentions:
“Attempting to find a non-taken name in LOTRO just highlights how nerdy we are. I go for scientific names of plants, and I generally end up with an alternate spelling of a higher taxonomic level. Attempting to reference anything, even something obscure, just becomes frustrating because another LOTRO player already did so.”

New Jersey for the new data center, eh? I wonder what happened to the more “centrally located” options.
It is weird but that has been known for a few months now. Maybe NJ had a good sales pitch?
It’s more of a curiosity than a criticism. It’s probably one of the things they considered but turned out not to be cost effective for the expected performance gains. But that’s just speculation on my part.
Guess they meant more centrally located North and South…lol
Great show again all. Just want to give a endorsement for Trish..I mean Maven’s recommendation to read the book Ready Player One. Although it wont win any literary awards, it is a extremely entertaining book. As you mentioned Maven, if your a gamer, or if you were around in the 80’s all the references to Gaming, Music, Movies, and pop culture, will find you hard press to put the book down. I only have “read” the audio version with Will Wheaton as reader, he does a great job with most of it, and a good job with parts he didn’t.
