I’ll be giving a talk on Ruby on Rails this Friday in Penang as part of an MDeC event. I’m aiming to demo how you can build an archetype Web 2.0 application using Rails and a bunch of plugins. If you are interested to attend this free event, register here.

Mondrianum Very cool color picker for the Mac. It grabs the colors from kuler and displays them in a Cover Flow UI. A few months ago, I actually played around with building a RubyCocoa script to serialize NSColorList objects from kuler’s RSS feeds, but never got around to finishing it. But this, is way, way cooler.
