Dev Hoopla:

Amazon is making a box for your living room, and this is what its game controller looks like

It\’s suggested that the unnamed box will run a fork of the Android OS, just like Amazon\’s Kindle Fire line of tablets. Those tablets act very much as a storefront for Amazon, offering a wide selection of games, movies, and books. It\’s likely that Amazon will attempt to leverage its large content offerings with the launch of a set-top box.

Rails Is A Ghetto

I\’ve more or less kept my mouth shut about some of the dumb and plain evil
stuff that goes on in the Rails community. As things would happen though
I\’d take notes, collect logs, and started writing this little essay.
As soon as I was stable and didn\’t need Ruby on Rails to survive I told
myself I\’d revamp my blog and expose these fucks.
