Although admittedly not at all Druid related, if you’re curious about what I’ve been up to since closing Resto4Life, I invite you to check out my personal/technical blog, Loni Huff.NET.

A few readers have inquired about whether or not we’ve sprouted, so I thought I’d share a few photos of our recently expanded family.
Our son Colin was born on August 28, 2009 — almost a week before his due date, weighing 7 lbs. 11 ounces. I was lucky in that my labor only lasted 5 hours, 3 of which I slept through and the other 2 of which were under the effects of an epidural. <3 <3 modern medicine
I am delighted by our decision to invest in a digital camcorder. And so is Grandma.
Here Mr. Phae is posing with Colin at two weeks old, showing off the Huff v1.0/Huff v2.0 shirts I made him for Father’s Day earlier this year. Never mind the fact that Colin’s shirt is designed to be worn by a three month old, and that he’s practically swimming in it!
Thank you to everyone for their warm wishes and kind thoughts over the past few months. I hope you are all doing well and are enjoying both Azeroth and the Druid class!

54 Comments Thanks to everyone who has written in or commented about the recently datamined item, [Phaelia’s Vestments of the Sprouting Seed]! As if it weren’t enough of an honor to have been mentioned, Blizzard was thoughtful enough to include my as-yet-unborn “Sprouting Seed!” The stats are amazing, and even the crit isn’t necessarily a waste with the upcoming changes. And to top it all off, they’re beautiful, matching the colors of the Tree of Life (plus green)! I’m happy for all the players that will wear them proudly some day. Thank you, Blizzard!
Thanks to everyone who sent in one or more screenshots for the Farewell Celebration! Click on any below to enlarge (and scroll through the gallery).

And here were a couple of images from the in-game Farewell Celebration (complete with cake, dancing, and – of course – plenty of booze)!
As announced, I randomed off a Belkin Nostromo N52 TE along with 2 Tree Shirts. As a surprise thank you gift to those who showed up, I randomed off an additional 3 Tree Shirts! Congratulations to the following winners:
Thanks to everyone who participated, either by sending in a picture or coming to the party!

11 Comments Bre and Fimlys of the Twisted Nether blogcast very graciously invited me onto their show this week to talk about my decision to close Resto4Life and what will become of Blog Azeroth and the World Tree Project. If you’re looking for a little more insight into my thought processes and future plans, I’d encourage you to give it a listen!
Thanks, Fim and Bre! It has been a tremendous honor to share the blogosphere with you both!
P.S. Apologies for the heavy breathing. My mic is just awful!
