WoW Accomplishments and dealing with timestamps in photos.app

Two things that are mostly unrelated, but still a little related. First, hit a nice milestone for the War Within and picked up the Ahead of the Curve achievement for the current season. The guild I’m in isn’t super hard … Continue reading
