What? What is this? Well, yeah… it is another project of mine. I call it LastBridge, like the name? its original… anyways.. So LastBridge is a web app for users of the Roku SoundBridge like myself. Basically you can listen to your last.fm music on the SoundBridge without having to install anything or hosting any files. I previously wrote the same thing in a much cheaper less good looking way, in PHP. This time I have rewritten it using Ruby On Rails. As soon as I release it make sure to check it out.

Wow, you don’t see rants like this every day. Zed Shaw, who created Mongrel, a library and web server that just about everyone uses to serve rails applications, is basically a God in the Rails community. In a post today called “Rails Is A Ghetto” he tears into a number of leading Rails developers, the community in general, and a number of startups (and Google).via Techcrunch

If you’re just getting into Rails or you’re not entirely clear on the whole REST thing, as I was, take a look at Gregg’s video presentation over at railsenvy.com It’s good.
