http://www.cbc.ca/natureofthings/scienceofthesenses/
The Nature of Things on CBC has a new series of episodes called Science of the Senses. I just saw the one about hearing and found it very interesting, mostly because they focused on hearing music and how our brains interpret sound. Music fans should definitely check it out.
Airs Thursday January 17 at 10pm ET/PT on CBC Newsworld.

http://www.loudthinking.com/posts/21-the-deal-with-shared-hosts
Awesome blog post by DHH. There's a general message here to anyone using open source software: if the software doesn't do what you need it to, YOU should extend it (and even better, submit it back to the community) and not expect the core developers to do the work. They'll do the work IF they want to, probably only if it scratches their own itch or the itches of a lot of people.
Having said that, people should still make suggestions to the core group, but the core group gets to decide their own priorities. Suggestions instead of bitching or demanding or threatening. It's all in the delivery.
Bitching about making money from open source software is even worse. What the hell, Dreamhost? Ditch Rails if it's too much of a pain, we don't need you in our community if you're going to act like that.

07/12/04
Earlier this summer, Stars released their album digitally well before their "physical" CD release in order to beat the "pirates" and downloaders (and so-called reviewers) to market. Smart move: music fans like me bought the legit version because WE COULD.
Any fan of a band wants to get their hands on a new album as fast as they can, legitimately or not. A early legitimate avenue is, in hindsight, an obvious idea. Stars fans were impressed -- I bought the iTunes version for about $10 and loved it start to finish.
But that wasn't enough for Stars and their progressive Canadian label Arts & Crafts. They had to include a 55-minute performance and interview DVD with the physical copy of the album. So the album cost more, right? No, it was a very reasonable $16.99 at my local store.
The DVD is fantastic too, it's not just thrown together. It does exactly what a DVD like that should: brings you closer to the band and gets you into their heads more than reading the lyrics ever could. For a fan of the band, it's porn.
Great move, Stars. Great move, A&C.

Direct competition for Rails in the Ruby framework space:
http://merbivore.com
From the Merb front page:
"Like Ruby on Rails, Merb is an MVC framework. Unlike Rails, Merb is ORM-agnostic, JavaScript library agnostic, and template language agnostic, preferring plugins that add in support for a particular feature rather than trying to produce a monolithic library with everything in the core. In fact, this is a guiding principle of the project, which has led to third-party support for the ActiveRecord, DataMapper, and Sequel ORMs."
