Articles
Although I think in numbers there are times when I just write, it doesn’t happen very much but it does occur at times. I target what I write to fellow technology developers and designers as it allows me to describe the things that I am thinking without needing to “dumb them down” too much. If you have any questions or feedback about any of these articles feel free to contact me, the more feedback I receive the better the chances of me writing more often will become.

Wikipedian flow of mind19th May, 2007
Earlier today Blizzard announced StarCraft II at their 2007 Worldwide Invitational event in South Korea. Initial reports state that it will be real-time strategy similar to the original with the same three playable races: The Terran, the Protoss and the Zerg. Although that is all good what surprised me the most was that the game has been in production since 2003, talk about keeping a secret.
Although there has been no information released about the story IGN is speculating that Kerrigan will be back as well as the official website saying that it picks up where StarCraft: Brood War left off. With this in mind I also believe there also may be an opening for the return of the Xel’Naga, the ancient race that was supposedly destroyed by the Zerg after they gave them intelligence. Maybe Kerrigan found out where they were hiding and decided to finish the job that the Overmind started? Who knows, I wasn’t really into the whole StarCraft thing so most of my knowledge on the game comes from the pages of Wikipedia.
Speaking of Wikipedia I managed to get so caught up in the knowledge database that three hours of my day vanished with only a Firefox history log to prove that I didn’t manage to break the space-time continuum. This is not the first time this has happened to me and I’m sure that some of you that are reading this has lost many hours to the wiki god. Does anyone know if there is a Firefox extension that records the user’s Wikipedian journey? After doing a quick search I couldn’t find any but I am sure one exists somewhere.
