In the World of DotA 2

As DOTA 2 continues to be worked on and the new characters are created, DOTA 2 will remain free to play which is absolutely awesome. They are constantly adding characters but this past week, some previews of a few characters were released that weren't supposed to come out yet. Check below to see what I mean.



Clinkz has just been officially released and he looks sweet but I'm not sure his damage is up to par yet. We will see how his character plays out. That is all I have for now but check out this incredible Pudge hook before you leave!

Sivir Champion Spotlight

Sivir is a strong dps kind of tanky, kind of a jungler... point is she is basically the perfect utility character to have on your side. She is technically a mage but uses a thrown weapon and she is much stronger than your average caster. Check out the champion spotlight to see just what I mean.

My Friend's Blog

Thanks for this guest post from Erasmo Cortez


I used our clear internet service this morning to check out my friend’s blog. She has had a blog for the last two years. When she first started it, I followed it, but then it kind of fell off of the radar. I wasn’t sure if she was even updating anymore because she wasn’t making any posts about it on facebook or e-mailing the link to me anymore. The other day, I got an e-mail that she had renamed her blog. When I visited it this morning I was really impressed. It looked like someone had professionally put her a blogspot together. The topics were really interesting and I could tell that she put a lot of time into it. She has always been well versed, open , and motivate (the perfect combo for a blogger). I have to say that I enjoy her blog as much as I enjoy some of the professional writer blogs that I follow weekly. She should really think about blogging as a business, I think that she could get a big following!

Stop SOPA!!!

"This is a re-post from Craigslist.org. I do not own this article, only wish to spread the word and the importance behind it. You can read the original HERE in its full context. I can not stress the importance of this article enough. As an avid internet user, I reserve the right given to be me by the Consitution of the United States to FREELY view the media free of censoring without due process."

Corporations whose lobbyists drafted SOPA and PIPA want the ability to block you from reaching any web site they feel hurts their profits -- without due process, or review in any court -- by hijacking DNS (!) and censoring search results. Hoping you won't notice until it's too late, Congress is preparing to give them that right.

For example, Monster Cable (who brought "Monster Park" to 49er fans) considers craigslist a "rogue site" for takedown under PIPA - they want to prevent YOU from selling YOUR unwanted cables, by removing craigslist from the Internet entirely (reddit), so they can increase their sales of new cables! Many other "rights holders" want to be able to do the same. (Boycott anyone? There's an app for that.)
SOPA/PIPA authors and supporters insist they're only fighting "piracy," but Internet Engineers understand that this is an attempt to impose China-style government control over our public Internet. Hmmm, who should we believe?

Let Congress know you OPPOSE H.R. 3261 "Stop Online Piracy Act" (SOPA) and S. 968 "Protect IP Act" (PIPA):

  • Reverse Robocall ALL pro-SOPA MOC + Key Lobbyists (Genius! More info on Ars Technica)
  • Phone your Member of Congress the old fashioned way (House) (Senate)
  • Contact Senators who are refusing to meet with constituents about SOPA/PIPA.
  • EFF Congressional Emailer - Oppose Internet Blacklisting (SOPA & PIPA)
  • ECA Congressional Emailer - Don't Censor Our Internet!
  • OpenCongress Congressional Emailer - Oppose SOPA
  • Generic Congressional Emailer (You'll need your Zip+4)
  • Outside the US? Sign Petition Opposing US Censorship of Global Sites (EFF)
Supporters of SOPA: RIAA, MPAA, News Corp, TimeWarner, Walmart, Nike, Tiffany, Chanel, Rolex, Sony, Juicy Couture, Ralph Lauren, VISA, Mastercard, Comcast, ABC, Dow Chemical, Monster Cable, Teamsters, Rupert Murdoch, Lamar Smith (R-TX), John Conyers (D-MI)

Opponents of SOPA: Google, Yahoo, Wikipedia, craigslist, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, eBay, AOL, Mozilla, Reddit, Tumblr, Etsy, Zynga, EFF, ACLU, Human Rights Watch, Darrell Issa (R-CA), Ron Wyden (D-OR), Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Ron Paul (R-TX)

Where does your Member of Congress stand on SOPA? (Project SOPA Opera)

SOPA and PIPA Are Too Dangerous To Revise, They Must Be Killed Entirely 

Congress needs to hear from you, or these dangerous bills will pass.
