New Ruby on Rails Movie ★: Ruby on Rails lead developer David Heinemeier Hansson has posted a new movie of screenshot footage of a simple weblog app being put together in 15 minutes using the latest version of Rails. Watching this is a good way to wrap your head around just what Rails is.
Sidekick: Bendable, Rotatable USB Adaptor ★: Clever $13 USB (2.0 and 1.1) adaptor from Sonnet; meant for using with hard-to-reach USB ports.
Cool Hunting: Adidas Carlo Gruber ★: My namesake clothing line debuts later this year.
G5-Optimized Build of Firefox 1.0.4 ★: Neil Lee’s G5-optimized build of Firefox 1.0.4 is noticeably faster than the standard build (or at least so say my G5-owning friends who’ve tried it).
Drag-and-Drop Image Placement in Web-Based Editor ★: Neat idea and implementation for using drag-and-drop to place images in the web-based text editor for a CMS. Don’t miss the demo movie.
