My stumbling through the World of Warcraft: the marvelous landscapes, inevitable encounters, and the quest for escapism.

WoW + Web Apps = WoWeb

I’ve been pondering what I really want from this blog. Unlike my other ventures into the world of Blogdom, this has mostly been a place for me to store the history of my travels through WoW. Now, with my classes at the Art Institute of Portland and my presentation on what lessons can be learned from WoW and applied to Web Applications, I’ll be giving this blog an edge. As I come across these lessons and takeaways in WoW, I’ll post on how this can impact our Web Apps, implementations where it has been executed well (if any), and places it can be done better.

Of course, there will still be adorable pictures of Trinna and myself. Oh, and I got the Violet Proto-Drake, so you’ll see that soon, along with some commentary.

Just for grins, we read up and tried out Razorscale, also in Ulduar. It went better, but we’ll need to do it a few more times before we down her.

After last week’s victory over Flame Leviathan, we delved deeper into Ulduar. Our next real attempt was on XT-002 Deconstructor. It didn’t go so well.

This week is Children’s Week! Besides going for the meta achievement, Trinna and I took Dornaa throughout Outland. In return, we both got Egbert’s Egg.

Could this event in Uldaman look like anything? Like, maybe from a part in a movie about an archeologist that goes on adventures to find lost treasures?

Even though the dungeon has been out since the original game, the Naxxramas architecture is delightful to look at—in a creepy way.
