Here’s a shameless plug for Tucows Farm, one of the blogs I get paid to write…
What programming web site will not just inform you, but entertain you as well?
That’s right: Tucows Farm. Because programming is more than just Aspergers and Emacs these days.
Why did the rebels have such a hard time with the Empire? The Japanese cops didn’t have too much trouble taking down Darth Vader… [YouTube link]
Over at the web page recommendation application known as reddit, an article of mine from 2003, The Girl Who Cried Webmaster is currently holding the number 5 position. Perhaps I should write a follow-up sometime.
Update, Wednesday April 12, 2006, 14:33 EDT: We’ve got a source where you can order these shirts! See the end of the article for details.
[vis Russereous] Here’s a T-shirt for those of you who are fans of Gödel, Escher, Bach, devotees of Scott Kim or have enough mileage to know that love and hate are often two sides of the same coin.
Thanks to Neatorama for the tip — the shirt is a creation of Rachel Plefger and you can order it online! The shirts are available in men’s and women’s sizes and in red-on-black or black-on-red.
Neatorama should be get more credit for the T-shirt story; they had posted about this two days ago!
[via Andrew J. Chinnici] Apparently such a cereal really exists — I think it’s a generic version of “Chex“. Maybe someday they’ll market a generic version of Krispy Kreme donuts and call them “Tasty Toroids“.
I got some really good photos at Hawksley Workman’s gig in December 1999. I really should post these on the blog and to my flickr set.
The first Rails Pub, held last month, was a success with a solid two dozen in attendance. Not bad for Ruby, a programming language that didn’t get much notice until last year, or Rails (or, to call it by its proper name, “Ruby on Rails”), the web development platform that’s changing the rules. I can see the beginnings of a very solid Ruby/Rails development community here.
The next Rails pub will take place next Monday, April 17th at The Rhino, located at 1249 Queen Street West (just west of Dufferin and the railway bridge) at 7 p.m.. I will be there, bearing the coveted Tucows squishy cows to hand out to all. I will also have the accordion with me as well.
It’s events like Rails Pub and DemoCamp that are proving that Accordion City is the place to be for tech. Come on down and say you were there when it all started!
