I was thinking about the Thundercats today.

I added Camping to the Gentoo portage tree today. It’s a micro Rails app, basically performing the same style of function (and MVC based web framework), but in a much smaller footprint.

Check it out.

Caleb and I decided that our kitchen needed a little bit of color.

The fine Ruby loving gentlemen at the Pragmatic Studio have just announced a Chicago based studio for February 16-18th.

This is just a note that I am planning on attending this studio and look forward to meeting others in the Ruby community. While I feel pretty proficient in Rails already (our intranet is heavily dependent on a few internal Rails applications), some of the newer things that have emerged in the last few releases have slipped past me and I haven’t been able to keep up. Plus, why not spend a few days away from work on the company’s dime, ya know?

I also will be available to sign virtual PDF based autographs on your favorite QtRuby PDF book.

I bought an iPod video last week. It’s very very nice. I’m not a music junkie, per se, but I find that I am listening to music more now that I have it.

However, the video feature is what I really like. I download shows from the Tivo and after some magic transformations I can put things like Saturday Night Live on the iPod (and save $1.99 from buying it) and watch it while I’m at the gym. Very very nice and nifty.
