Wow! Has it really been since the June 4th since my last post? Time sure does fly, but that doesn't mean I haven't been busy. I am, however, going to make a little change in regards to my blog posting frequency. It takes me anywhere from 1 to 2 hours to write up and fully document my activities for just one blog post. That's a lot more work then I had originally anticipated. Ideally, I want to post updates after each day of working on projects, but that's clearly not realistic. Instead, I will be designating Fridays to post a week ending wrap up. I will continue to try and include more frequent updates but in smaller, more manageable bits.

Now that that's out of the way...

As you can see from the graphic, I procured for myself a whiteboard. While I still believe in my trusty note/sketch book, using the whiteboard was a boon to my creativity. For the last couple of days I was brainstorming ideas for the new WoW AddOn that I wanted to start working on but I wasn't quite getting as far in the design as I had wanted to. I knew that I wanted to work on the Guild Alliance AddOn but I had no idea where to start. Earlier in the process I was writing down, in words, the ideas on functionality and the user interface..., but none of it was inspiring to me. It began to dawn on me that I needed a way to quickly jot down and "prototype" idea that were in my mind and it was then that I knew what the answer would be. So I hopped into my car and drove off to the nearest Staples.
