Ethics

Now, I won’t go into explicit detail about where I work or how this practice came into being, but sufficed to say that there are people coercing other folks into signing into a deal that could, in theory, charge them about 20 dollars a month.

Now, by coercing, I mean they tell them that it’s part two of our membership process and more or less imply that they have to sign up for this program. This doesn’t sit well with me. Call me morally responsible, or ethical or whatever. Not that corporate America, as a whole, doesn’t cut corners or lie or try to get away with whatever they can, but I just can’t do that.

Perhaps I’m not disillusioned enough yet.

Writing

I’m working on a final copy of my paper for my class today and doing this at the same time. By doing both, I’m killing two birds with one stone.

You see, my W315 requires me to keep a blog and my paper is due. So writing about writing my paper is pure genius. Did I mention I’m writing a paper?

You may have noticed that this actually has nothing to do with my paper, it’s just a clear attempt at pulling the wool over my professor’s eyes by writing a blog, basically, about nothing.

Mm, buffer.

World of Warcraft

So. My blog on Rotahall has apparently expired, so this will have to do for now. Go me!

I purchased World of Warcraft about a week ago, and I must say, I’ m thoroughly enjoying my experience. Before I had tried it, I was a staunch adversary of paying to play a game you’ve already purchased. I think that this particular game may have changed my mind.

You might say, “What’s so different about WoW?” My answer is thus: Live development team. Blizzard created Diablo and Diablo II, and years after they’ve added anything to these wonderful games there are people online still chugging away at defeating Baal and his kin.

The development team for WoW is constantly working on patches and updates and various new content. Here’s some jargon for you. An instance is basically a dungeon crawl designed for you and your group only, so anyone coming in after you while not in your group will simply start the instance all over again. The team at Blizzard is working hard to make more and more of these for you. And take my word for it, they are fun.

Right now, my highest character is a level 24 Mage, and I must say that teleporting around has made me even lazier than I already was.
