Drawing Lines by Carren Jao

Just read this great article "Youngblood, Drawing Lines" by Carren Jao. 

In a world of increasing complexity, lines enforce an order that society sorely needs. Yet, it is easy to forget that lines are manufactured. One should accept the presence of the line, but prepare to look beyond it. As we move to an age of technology, identities are built in new ways: user-defined profile pictures, avatars, online public profiles.

Thought it applied to our world of blogging.

 

Cheers

Ruby on Rails is the Sh8t!

I've been playing all weekend with Ruby on Rails 2.1 and the sky is now the limit.  It's just so fast to develop a site with it, the language makes sense. It sucks that all of the books I have, references RoR 1.2, which is a major difference to 2.1 but it's been fun understanding the old appoarch and the new.  They are differently evolving this platform in the right direction. 

RoR has forced me to rethink how I develop web apps now.  No more spending days on design, just get a basic concept and start coding.  The framework makes evolving your code, DB and process flow a breeze compared to everything I have ever used.  I will continue to play around with it and if I come a cross anything crazy, it will be posted here.

This may become a blog for RoR shortly. ;)
