What is going on.

Man – been a busy time as of late with ol’ Ben! Let’s get down to business…

First off, I’ve been embroiled in a huge project here at work to launch 6 (count them one two three four five six) websites for a company called Heatcraft in less than a month. It couldn’t have been possible without the help of Yukon Charnelius and the venerable m@.

Secondly, yes, it’s true: I have been playing World of Warcraft, and yes, it is everything that they say it is. Deep, engulfing, wide, full of content and as addictive as crack. Me? I’m a 15th-level Dwarven Paladin name of Cramfist on server Akama.

Nextly, or perhaps thirdly, ol’ Cholly and I have regularly been playing chess. Currently, the record stands at 5-4-1 with me holding a tenuous lead. Ideas are underway to create a Web 2.0 site for chess. We’ll see if it takes off…

Lastly, on the soaring front… You may remember that last year I built a sailplane over the winter. This year is much the same, but improved! I’m building a bigger version of the one I did last year with help from a new friendship with Denny @ Polecat Aeroplane Works (I did his site for him, too).

You told the internets about Cramfist.

“Like the dwarf with the copper ore is going to hold up a griffin for you! COME ON!”

Yeah, it’s not something to be ashamed of. BTW – Ol’ Cram is now Level 16, and weilds a two-handed copper axe that he made himself.

Charlie bested me in our latest chess match, evening the score to 5-5-1. An interesting set of gambits at the end, and I ended up on the losing end.

… that a man who calls himself “Cramfist” on the Internet could be bested in chess.
