Unfortunately i usually end up telling myself off for almost posting something which may be construed as “boring”, so i think from now on i’ll just post stuff that is interesting to me and see how that goes. Public opinion be damned!

Stay tuned for a rant on Wrath of the Lich King (WoW Expansion, i’m an addict :)) and possibly a review of the War of the Ancients Trilogy and The Sunwell Trilogy…. maybe a brief review of the new book by Aaron Rosenberg and Christie Golden Entitled “Beyond the Dark Portal” though i don’t know how fast i will be reading it…

If you couldn’t tell already i’m a massive Warcraft fan fiction addict and i love the lore of the Warcraft universe (much to the dismay of many a player i assure you).

Anyway, Watch this space!

P.S. feel free to follow me on Twitter (http://twitter.com/ressah) as i will be updating it from both home and work (easy to remember too) regularly thanks to the excellent Twitterfox plugin for Mozillas Firefox Browser (3.0 final was released last week if you missed it~)

Benedict XVI says humans must listen to ‘the voice of the Earth’ or risk destroying its very existence.

Damn straight, even the pope gets it. I hope the creationists are listening, it’s refreshing to see someone who is devoted to religon that isn’t a complete idiot blinded by the bible or other religous script.

Yellow jersey wearer Michael Rasmussen was sensationally kicked out of the Tour de France by his own Rabobank team, the Dutch outfit revealed on Wednesday.

Which puts Cadel Evans from Australia in 2nd Place overall with the final time trial through the streets of paris set to decide who the winner of the 2007 Tour de France is. I know i’ve been losing a lot of sleep watching these races especially the climbs in to the pirenese but the timetrial is always my favorite part of the tour and i’ve been watching for 6 years now.

I hope Evans can get at least 2nd place if not push for the Yellow Jersey but i think anything on the podium would be great because an Australian has never stood on top of the Podium in Paris before
