New Blog: Journey of an Eclipse Chaser.

I've started a new blog just a few moments ago.
it's called Journey of an Eclipse Chaser and it will kinda be like a memoirs of my time as an eclipse chaser. I wish I could be one of the people who travel the world just to see an eclipse, but money is a huge deterrant from traveling to all points of the globe, BUT if the umbra of the moon just so happens to travel over my location...

BAM! I'm there with camera on hand (or on a tripod) with the proper filters on it. Ready to enjoy and capture the moment

One of the earlier blog entriesSuper Special spectacular start of Summer was about last summer's Annular eclipse

JoaEC will be updated sporatically as more details of eclipse2017 become available.

KIFF:I'm Queen of the... wait, What?... & how does W101 inform the public and gain new wizards? 6/12

Just a note before we begin, the planet Antario was created by my Venture (writing class for dyslexic students) teacher & me way back in 1995. I'm using this as an example of a fictional nation. Also this blog will attempt to stay bias free.  Outside the Spiral More than likely you're fed up with the way things are run in RL (gamerspeak for real life) and think you can do better if you're handed the reins. Or maybe you just want to escape reality and create your own city/world/planet/universe where you are the ruler/deity/sovereign. There are games for that. On Facebook for example, the Zynga games of Pioneer Trail, Castleville, Cityville and any other *.Ville that the red dog logo'd company can come up with, allow the player to create their own virtual "Homestead" (Pioneer Trail), "Kingdom" (Castleville), "City" (Cityville) where with the help of free gifts from neighbors and the friendly NPCs giving you quests to advance the st

Just a side note before we begin, any entries that have KIFF: as the first word are part of Keeping it Family Friendly.  This week we'll be in and out of the Spiral. Outside the Spiral Gamers are able to help scientists come up with cures for cancer... there is a game called Foldit  where gamers can use their visual spatial skills, honed by many hours of gaming, to fold proteins. Since diseases and a slew of other organic stuff is made up of protiens, one tiny change in the structure of the protien could alter the molecule and change a disease into a cure. you have to download the client to start playing though. (for more detail please click on the word Foldit, it will take you to the website)   Last year, the horrible earthquake and tsunami attacked Japan. The Zynga game Farmville let you plant Daikon radishes on your farms. Each daikon planted raised money to help the Nihon-jin (Japanese people) it was part of the Japan Earthquake relief event  (needless to say, sinc

Before we begin, you might notice that my blogs are divided into two sections, Inside & Outside the Spiral. Inside the Spiral directly relates the topic of the week to Wizard101 & Kingsisle. Outside the Spiral relates to online gaming as a whole. If the weekly topic doesn't really match Wizard101 more information will be Outside the Spiral. Remember that the in-game universe of Wizard101 is called the Spiral.  Inside the Spiral Nothing, not even family friendly online games, is free. Wizard101 is no exception. Wizard101 does start out as a free-to-play game. New wizards are given access to the Commons, Unicorn Way, Old Town & Triton Avenue for absolutely free. However after a wizard reaches level 10, they most likely will have finished those areas and will need to access other streets. Unfortunantly those streets, and the rest of the worlds are premium content. keep in mind both of my accounts have access to approximately 90% of the Spiral. As was said earlier
