  I want to build this. I’m thinking Wii controllers, reflective tape, a laptop, and a projector.

  Programming Erlang: Software for a Concurrent World
  

  I think Erlang is going to be hot. Who can ignore a production-ready functional language that was built to be massively concurrent and reliable? Unfortunately the Internet doesn’t agree with me, yet.

  Formatting Woes 

  

  I was checking my feed reader today and noticed that my blog’s feed seems to render incorrectly.

  Why does this happen? How do I fix it?

  Git Rebase 

  I was having a discussion about git the other day and rebase came up.

  My normal workflow didn’t involve rebase; so, my natural curiosity sparked up and I dove into the documentation.

  It turns out git-rebase is quite controversial. (And, you should avoid it if you’re sharing your commits.)

  Linus Torvalds on rebasing:

  Tipping Point? 

  

  Down: Rails

  Up: Django and Zend Framework(?!)

  Odd: Erlang (Erlang is hot… but I guess not that well known yet?)
