This is super cool, thanks for sharing it!

I’d run through PragProg’s Agile Web with Rails first, and then The Rails 8 Way if you want a reference. Books are good, but jumping into videos from GoRails or Drifting Ruby might…

I think I read somewhere else that it is not publicly launched yet, but should be very soon.

Only when there are no roadrunners to be found.

If the drones were “authorized to fly by the Federal Aviation Administration”, then why did the same FAA feel the need to temporarily put in place dozens of drone bans over critica…

There seems to be a gofundme set up for the author’s benefit. I can’t vouch for the authenticity of it, but I donated to it anyway https://www.gofundme.com/f/donate-to-empower-patr…

My 2008 Rav-4 has 327k miles on it and is showing no signs of quitting. I was planning on giving it up at 300k, but now it’s (by far) my longest relationship, and I’m getting senti…

I’m at 14TB now. I shoot 4k (and even some 8k) video, and often send all the unedited clips to clients through Dropbox. Once it’s up there and I’ve suffered through the multi-day u…

Somehow the McD coffee is better too.

It definitely helped that Denver (and these days Colorado in general) has one of the largest networks of bike paths in the United States. Well beyond bike lanes, the paths are sepa…

Sheeeit, if it’s gonna be that kinda party…

I forgot that Apple was having an event yesterday, and when I saw “Apple Vision Pro“ in headlines everywhere, my first thought was that they were opening an eyeglass store…
