If you want to learn Ruby, a good place to start is the Ruby in Twenty Minutes quick tutorial. It’s easy to follow for users of Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.
Today is Björk-Day in my apartment, and I’m currently approaching Joga after finishing Homogenic.
Roofjumping not Downhill but also crazy — painful stupidity. This is America.
Report: Miss New Jersey USA resigns over pregnancy: “Harder, 20, told the newspaper she voluntarily stepped down because it’s against pageant rules to compete while pregnant.” First we have a stupid rule: the ideal of a beauty pageant is reenforced here — thin and virginal. But I have little sympathy for Ashley Harder, the now-pregant and now-ex-Miss-New-Jersey: “Harder, who was crowned in October, told the newspaper she’s expecting her child in ‘late summer’ and plans to marry her live-in boyfriend.” Late summer means likely August, perhaps July or September, but let’s just say she got pregnant not too far back, meaning she was already Miss New Jersey. She would have known the rules about not being pregnant and competing, so either somebody who has, probably, spent years in the socially-retarded pageant culture working towards these competitions suddenly decided “I don’t want to do this anymore, I’d rather be pregnant at age 20,” or the pregnancy was unplanned, meaning that both she and her live-in boyfriend are idiots.
I suspect the latter.
