Message to Recruiters on PHP and Magento
The other day a recruiter tried to lure me into an opportunity for a Magento shop. I gave him a pretty high figure, which was partly me trolling him and me seeing how far he would play along. Not surprisingly, he retorted that the company in question had a ceiling quite below what I asked…

Marriage and Why I Haven’t Gone Through It
I’m going to turn 38 this coming week and yet I have no one special in my life as a partner. Some people will tell me that I need to find someone soon or that I face the consequence of being single the rest of my life. Others have told me that when I’m ready,…

Lego City 60002 and 60003 Review
In my next set of reviews of sets I recently purchased, we have two new Lego City fire sets in 60002 and 60003. Anyone who has known me since my childhood realizes that I’ve been a big Lego fire nut. My second major set in my life was Engine Company No 1, which set off…

World of Warcraft: Gearing My Hunter
After finding the boomkin to be a terrible 2nd character to gear, I ended up switching to my hunter, whom I’ve found much better over to solo play and handle. It hasn’t been easy up to this point as I had to start really looking into the Beastmaster game play. The rotation definitely has become…

World of Warcraft: Why I Choose not to Raid
As someone who exclusively does LFR, I know there are people who will say that LFR is not “real raiding.” Hence, why I’ve chosen the title. I wanted to give those raiders their little entitlement by switching my category as a player. But what I want to do is explain why I do not raid.…

World of Warcraft: Dragon Soul vs MoP Raiding in LFR
This is regards to LFR as I discuss the difference between LFR in Dragon Soul and MoP Raids. I think a lot of people have a very sour memory with the Dragon Soul LFR (and probably normal mode as well) on the basis of how either it was too boring or the last two fights…

World of Warcraft: How to Manage Alts in Mist of Pandaria
It’s been said that Mist of Pandaria is not alt friendly. Most of that involves the gearing aspect due to certain content walls like reputation, low Valor Point rewards and the large number of dailies. In the end, the issue ends up being time (or lack thereof) when it comes to playing each of your…
