Model-View-Controller — Misunderstood and Misused — paradox1x writes "Malcolm Tredinnick shares a terrific rant against the misunderstanding and misuse of the Model-View-Controller design pattern. In particular he takes issue with the notion that Django should be considered an MVC framework. He says that 'It's as valid as saying it's a "circus support mechanism," since the statement is both true, in some contexts, and false in others (you can definitely use Django-based code to help run your circus; stop looking so skeptical).' I'm not sure I agree with the entire piece, but it is a very good read." We recently discussed another look at the bending and...

THINGS TO GIVE THANKS FOR: Britney’s Comeback — Remember last year at this time, when Britney Spears was mmmbaaazigally losing her mind? We never in our bald minds thought that she would get herself back into A+ shape. Well, here's another thing to give thanks for in 2008: Britney's Comeback. She looks as fly as ever, she's got a pretty good album ("Circus") coming out on Dec. 2, and while we're positive she's still crumbling on the inside, at least she got her weave together. For any of you doubting Britney's comeback, we offer you her performance at yesterday's Bambi Awards. Here she is singing "Womanizer." OK, so...

Scientists Get Their Groove On On YouTube — merg717 writes "Six weeks ago, the Gonzo Scientist challenged researchers around the world to interpret their Ph.D. research in dance form, film the dance, and share it with the world on YouTube (Science, 10 October, p. 186). By the 11 p.m. deadline this past Sunday, 36 dances — including solo ballet and circus spectacle — had been submitted online." The vitamin D dance is particularly strange.Read more of this story at Slashdot.... [Tags: ballet, circus, dance form, dances, gonzo scientist]

REVIEW: Britney’s New Album Is Here, It’s Sort of Fierce, Get Used To It! — Gather round, old people and young alike, for Britney Spears' new album is finally available for your aural pleasure. "Circus", Britney's "comeback to normalcy" release, will be officially released on December 2, but as a little extra something to give Thanks for tomorrow, we bring the entire thing for free below. We've given the album somewhere between 5 to 7 thousand listens. Since I am now America's expert on Circus, I'd like to offer up my opinions on the songs, track by track, below. 1. Womanizer: The first single off of the album. Catchy to an almost annoying degree, and... [Tags: aural pleasure, britney spears, circus, confession, drug addict]

Kyte Doesn’t Want Me As a User (Unless I’ll Pay) — Having given Qik and Flixwagon a spin for our live mobile coverage of red carpets and major launches, last weekend we gave competitor Kyte a try. En route to the YouTube Live event, I stopped by Om’s to borrow a Nokia N95, loaded it up with Kyte, and then simultaneously tried to product test and cover the YouTube circus. It mostly worked, though the first hour or so was dicey. First of all, there’s not even a link to create a Kyte account on Kyte.com. You have to go to Kyte.tv. Then, I couldn’t get good enough 3G coverage to... [Tags: 50 cent, adsense, circus, cmo, competitor]

Britney has just released her new album Circus exclusively on imeem, where you can stream the album in its entirety for free (you’ll also be able to embed the album playlist anywhere you’d like).

Becoming a Professional Chef - One Foodie's Tale — Filed under: Business, How To, AmericaFor many foodies, becoming a professional chef is a little bit like running away to join the circus. It seems impossible, the kind of bold, crazy move that is compelling simply because it is so unlikely. On the other hand, after hearing dinner guests repeatedly praise your cooking and loudly declaring that you should open a restaurant, it is easy to get lost in daydreams of culinary glory, imagining yourself joyfully preparing outstanding food, day after day, for a dining room full of excited, appreciative customers.To get a better feel for the realities of the...

Rolando, one of the best looking iPhone games, plays even better — I’ve been excited about an iPhone game named Rolando ever since a video of it spread throughout the internet back in July right before the launch of the iPhone 3G (and App Store). The developers had hoped to release it in August, but that came and went, and the buzz largely subsided. But today I got a chance to play the basically completed version of the game — it’s even better than the original demo video — the buzz will be back soon. The game, developed by Hand Circus and being released by one of the fast rising iPhone gaming... [Tags: 3g, accelerometer, big game, buzz, circus]

Chris Weigant: Is Hillary Nomination Offer A Red Herring? — The term "red herring" has been around for hundreds of years. It specifically refers to taking a smoked (and therefore pungent) herring and dragging it across the trail of a fugitive, in order to throw off the scent of any tracking dogs in pursuit. The term's use has evolved (with the help of mystery writers everywhere) to now mean any intentional misdirection used to draw attention from other events or motives. And while I could be proven wildly mistaken, I think the whole "Secretary of State Hillary Clinton" circus will prove to be nothing more than a gigantic red herring....

Roofus Robot Eats Snow For Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner [Robots] — Roofus is a robot that can do the job of 25 men cleaning up snow. Which is great, because who wants to have a job in this economy? I mean, do you have caterpillar tracks, two electric motors, one petrol engine, capability to carry 550 pounds of snow on your back, remote control link, and your skin is shiny orange? If you said yes to any of these, you don't need a job shoveling snow. Go to the next available circus and/or government agency. Roofus also has a range finder system built-in. It doesn't only eat snow either: By using... [Tags: breakfast lunch, capability, caterpillar, circus, economy]

Curio 5.3 is out — Filed under: Software, ProductivityI'm currently working on a piece detailing exactly why Zengobi's Curio has become a favorite of mine, especially in the area of project management and brainstorming, but also in general as a truly enjoyable-to-use application. In the meantime, though, I thought I'd better get an announcement out for version 5.3, released today. For those unfamiliar, Curio is a note-taking, brainstorming, to-do managing, file-gathering application which works in a (surprisingly productive) free-form manner. It's similar in concept to Circus Ponies Notebook, but I find it to be even more flexible and powerful. Version 5.3 adds to an impressive...

Karolina Kurkova's Missing Belly Button — Victoria's Secret supermodel Karolina Kurkova doesn't really have a belly button. Check out this picture of Karolina in Miami Beach from this past weekend's Victoria's Secret fashion show shoot. If modeling doesn't work out, I bet the circus would take her.
