New Look, Part 2


Some of you may remember our first theme, a simple black background with a small visual flair. Most of you, however, will be more familiar with our more recent theme. We have been considering a change in our theme for a little while now, and feel that we have finally found something that will work for us on a long term basis.

We have added some new features, such as a Twitter feed for Lindsey and myself, as well as summaries of our posts so that you can browse more easily! The stationary tag cloud has been traded for a flash tag cloud, a random stream of our previous posts is constantly updating on the right, and along the top there is a side scrolling section containing hand-picked feature posts! We are still creating article images, which will replace the broken image icons you may be seeing for now.  This should be done by tomorrow, at the latest.  Hopefully our new theme and features will provide a more visually appealing as well as a more functional World of Meh experience.

Please provide your thoughts and opinions on our new theme and new features in our comment section and on our forum!

Chatty Moogs


One thing we’ve noticed about Moogle is how curious she is. She wonders what is inside a cabinet, wonders what is so awesome about the fridge, and other things. She has also taken a great interest in our laptop and PC. She watches how the mouse cursor flits about the screen, and will stare at our fingers as they click on the keyboard.

When Chris is at work, him and I talk throughout the day on AIM. Sometimes I step away from the keyboard because I am getting food, going to the restroom, getting the mail, or taking Donnie outside to do his business. Before Moogle, Chris would sit there with silence on my end. Now that we have Moogs, something new has been happening.

Before I go and do whatever I need to do, I tell Chris that I will “be right back” or “brb.” Chris will then see on AIM that it says I am typing, however I will not be anywhere near the keyboard. Some seconds later, a message will be sent to him that typically looks like this: a111111111111111111111111111111stjp.

Little Moogs takes it upon herself to walk across the keyboard and send her Daddy a message. She almost always hits the ENTER key as well, sending the message to Chris and him getting a laugh out of it.

Yesterday her keyboard escapades went a step further. A few hours after completing the blog about our forums, I went back to check and see what our viewer stats were. I was surprised to find the screen back on the blog edit page, and the title of the blog changed to “pppppppppppppppppppppp.” Our cat is so talented that she managed to get into the edit post mode, change the title of the blog, and she even SAVED it. Of course I changed it back, so I apologize to any visitors of our blog who saw the “Moogs Edition” of my forum post.

So from here on out, if you see anything silly going on our blog with words or sentences, you can pretty much guess who did it:

Lady Moogs, Slayer of Keyboards and Internetz.

About Marooners’ Rock

Everyone grows up; this is how the world works. Just because we grow decrepit and old, however, does not mean we have to forsake the things that make us happy, childish though they may seem. This is the core concept of Marooners’ Rock; we geek out on the things of our past, present, and future. Society and cultural norms be damned!
