Double Shot #908

Happy 4th of July. Warts and all, I'm still glad to live in the USA.

• ribbon/catchup: reading new commits - How to stay caught up with a git repo in the shell.
• The Handpicked jQuery Plugins Repository - Lots of goodies here, with demos right in the repo.
• Semaphore - Hosted continuous integration for Ruby. Works for public or private projects on GitHub.
• Summary of the AWS Service Event in the US East Region - Lots of vagueness here, but it seems to boil down to "hardware is hard and we can't really test an actual disaster."
