- The Ruby on Rails introductory video makes a complete weblog engine in a few minutes It's all terribly impressive and perfect - I suspect - for small at-home developers who want to build things rapidly to test with...
- An interesting / disturbing take on how much you reveal about yourself on your weblog and what impact that might have on job interviews Search seems to be the main problem - in that if someone looks for negative connotations in your posts, then they'll have them delivered to them...
- Del.icio.us start experimenting with the ability for someone to tag things for other people using a kind of for: tag My first reaction is that we should stop designing systems that will be spammed if they're useful, but I might be being unfair...
- The power of smell and the smell of power - women apparently find 'dominant' men more attractive only if they're already in a relationship and are in the most fertile part of their cycle It must be so weird for you people trapped into animal patterns by your primal sense of smell. Those of us without a sense of smell are clearly (by nature) more civilised!

Rails is for more than just prototyping - big apps can and have been built with it... All the 37signals stuff is Rails, as is 43things and Odeo, amongst others.
All the work i've been doing lately is in Rails - it's lovely. Really highly recommended.

There's a bunch of really cool research done on how women find Alpha men (bad boys) more attractive when they're younger or in certain cycles. They are also more prone to having afairs with Alpha males than relationshiops.
Its similar to the mating rituals of finches. They settle with a 'beta' male but have offspring with the 'alpha' male. The 'beta' male is then responsible for raising the young and hence hurting his own DNA.
Nature is pretty crazy like that!
Explain that Creationists! :)
