…heaps of praise from all sorts of reviewers, including this one.

Limbo may just be the best Xbox Live Arcade game ever released, and I suspect it'll be in my "Top 5" for 2010. If you're looking for a stand-out game for your Xbox 360, Limbo is well worth the 1200 Microsoft Points.

Why has this phenomenon happened in the Ruby community, and nowhere else? Developer conferences are not at all unique to Ruby. Apple's WWDC, Microsoft's PDC and Tech: Ed, and Sun's JavaOne (now Oracle's OpenWorld) are well-established and heavily-attended.

Joe, I came across this interview with Mark Pilgrim, Developer advocate at Google [via MM ]. In it, he discusses the importance, or lack thereof, of tools on the writing process.

I'm a three-time (soon to be four-time) published author. When aspiring authors learn this, they invariably ask what word processor I use. It doesn't fucking matter! I happen to write in Emacs. I also code in Emacs, which is a nice bonus. Other people write and code in vi. Other …
