BlizzCon 2008
BlizzCon isn't exactly our under our standard banner of operation, but a show that sells out 16,000 tickets in 10 minutes bears mentioning. This weekend, despite the utter failure of Wall Street, Anaheim California witnessed an influx of something no disaster, whether is be natural, economic or political, can conquer. It, and I as a proud participant, witnessed the spirit of gamers. Men, women and children who routinely defeat monsters and demons, saw no challenge in making their way to the marvelous ocean state, and leaving their mark as they endured the patient pleasure of the newest games from Blizzard Entertainment.

Fast forward to three months later. Apple announces the IPhone 2.0, leaving me wallowing in gadget envy and despair.
