Last month for the lifestyle section, we explored the world of cosplay in its many manifestations. For the last month of summer, we are exploring organization and productivity in preparation for the approaching fall, new school year, and the slow fade of the lazy days of summer. Most of us work other jobs in addition to writing for and maintaining WWAC, so organization is crucial to our lives. Cathryn starts us off with her digital tools and methods for organization. As always, readers, if you have your own tips to share or questions to ask, comment away!

The modding community of Skyrim wastes no time. Not even a week went by from when Steam announced they would support non-Valve games having paid mods, starting with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, before they decided to take the feature down. An announcement made on Steam highlights that they realised from customer feedback that it was a bad idea to introduce the model into the already-established Skyrim mod community. It turns out that although Steam has had success with introducing paid mods in their own gaming communities, Skyrim’s community was a whole new kettle of fish.
