I am back - stronger, faster, metal-ier...

I am recuperating from surgery on my arm. One plate and seven pins/screws are in me holding my repaired arm together as it heals. The worst of the pain is over, and now I have 3 weeks or so until I regain regular mobility, and then a couple months of physical therapy to follow. My left arm is pretty immobilized for now, but I can change/shower/eat/play WoW with a little effort and care.

I haven't played WoW much recently due to my injury, but I have found a great site to link. The site is Elitist Jerks. Some of you may have heard of it, its where the geekiest players in WoW get together and math out pretty much every aspect of the game, to maximize optimal gear sets, gems, dps rotations, tanking rotations, profession combinations, etc etc. If you like spreadsheets and formulas as much as playing the game, you will love reading EJ.

Personally, I don't like reading EJ. It's a little esoteric for my tastes, I'd rather play and try different things out in-game. But the site has one section I love looking through from time to time. They call it 'The Dungheap'. Here you can see all the posts that violate EJ's strict forum rules, often savagely commented on by moderators. If only the WoW forums and other popular sites had similar enforcement! Dare I dream in-game chat channels get similar oversight! Reading EJ's Dungheap is like forum moderation porn. If you are tired of seeing lines like "LFM Naxx ned dps and helz must no fights." spamming trade channel, reading a page or two of the Dungheap is a cathartic experience. Its a great way to pass the time after you break your arm.
