Domain Modeling: Why Most Architectures Suck at this Level
Ever notice that when you go to a company that supposedly uses an MVC structure, there’s an inevitable problem when it comes to controllers and models? Most people won’t fuck up the view section since even the lamest front end programmers know how to separate html from business logic. However, even seasoned backend developers tend…

Lego City Wishes
In completing my Lego City review of the 10218 Pet Shop set, I decided to write up a small blog on a possible wish list. Right now, I’m quite happy with the direction Lego has gone with regards to the types of city structures. Most city structures over the years had a 2-3 revolving year…

Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm, Doing Campaign Normal Mode and Brief Thoughts
Today, I pretty much got bored with World of Warcraft and Diablo 3 even. Needing a new gaming fix, I decided to say fuck it and pick up Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm. I already know the campaign ending as I watched Kripparian play through the last parts when it came out. Just to…

Iron Maiden: Clive Burr Passes Away on March 12, 2013
I was extremely sad to hear about Clive Burr’s passing a few days ago. It made the top of Yahoo’s trending items, which is how I discovered this tragedy. As a long time Maiden fan, I will say that Clive Burr perhaps is one of my personal favorite drummers of all time. Although I like…

The Hobbit: Out on iTunes and A Quick Review
As usual, I’m skipping the hype at movie theaters and went straight to my iTunes player for the movies I want to see. In this case, it’s the long anticipated Peter Jackson prequel of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Currently planned as a triology, Peter Jackson is attempting to drag out more content from a…
