One of the great things about Ruby frameworks is that we use Ruby code to configure and initialize all the other Ruby code, so you don't need to mess about with endless XML configuration files and write wrapper classes just to run some little bit of arbitrary code to setup your application when the server starts up.

Two interesting links about dating. First @gnat blogged a link to the OkCupid OkTrends post about what not to say when you send contact someone on a dating site: “ur”, “u”, “r”, “ya”, “cant”, and “hit”, “sexy”, “beautiful”, “hot”, and “cutie”. “band”, “vegetarian”, and “zombie” are all good though :).

Because in the long run, you'll make a net saving on babies.
