• The Freemium Business Model.
• Ruby on Rails 1.1 Released – Lots of cool stuff (that I don’t understand yet), including a JavaScript Generator, something called RJS which apparently translates some subset of Ruby to JavaScript, and some RJS Templates. I will be attending the Rails Conference in June to learn more about all of this.
• Sammamish Slough Restoration – I walk 6-10 miles along this Slough almost every Saturday morning and the changes noted in this article are definitely noticeable.
• Analyzing the S3 License Agreement – A fun post from Scott, who also has a great podcast. I didn’t write the license, but I’ll take a tiny bit of credit for encouraging our legal department to make it friendly to developers. In one of those billion-to-one coincidences, I ran into Scott in the Indianapolis airport earlier this month — I was visiting Purdue and he was about to head off to Silicon Valley.
• Web 2.0 Awards – Certainly better to get one of these than a Darwin, that’s for sure.
• HowTo Forge: Setup a Load-Balanced MySQL 5.0 Cluster.
• Stirr: The Emerging Technology Network .
• EnGadget HowTo: SSH Tunnels for Secure Net Access.
• The Printable CEO.
