All of a sudden my plate is very full again. But good full: interesting projects, friendly clients. So I'm not complaining.

  • Our Most Fulfilling Web Service Yet - Amazon continues to expose more of its underlying business via web services. I'll bet we see this one wrapped for Rails pretty quickly.

  • Big Name Companies Using Ruby on Rails - While this sort of list is nice to crow about (how many times have you seen "our software is in use by 450 of the Fortune 500"?), it's ultimately uninformative unless you know what "using" means. A huge company has lots of corners where a single Rails project can sneak in without meaning jack about corporate acceptance.

  • Google Visualization API - It's a good day for big companies to be opening access to useful code. There are some neat ways to display data available here with relatively low pain.
