Build It With Me is a tool that connects design & development entrepreneurs. It exists to make creating apps easier by connecting you with like-minded designers & developers with the same goal: create cool & useful apps. Getting funding for your app idea is hard and often unrealistic. Most of the time you may just need to connect with a partner who has a skill set you lack to finish off your app. This is where Build It With Me is comes in, connecting you to those people. Skip the funding. Build It With Me will help you bootstrap your ideas into actual apps. - joebird

8) Mmm, meat. Did you know upwards of 50 percent of global CO2 emissions come not from SUVs, factories or all of the various chemicals injected into the "Real Housewives," but from livestock at the world's massive industrial feedlots, in the form of methane gas the very unhappy cows pump out like small factories, along with feed growin' and transport? True. In other words, at the heart of the climate change crisis that fewer people actually think we're responsible for, lies our gluttonous desire for cheap, inhumane, hormone-injected, chemical-blasted meat. Translation: You really want to help the planet? Eat better. And shut down all the McDonalds. - joebird

Written in C for speed, DBSlayer talks to clients via JSON over HTTP, meaning it's simple to monitor and can swiftly interoperate with any web framework you choose. - joebird

So we’ve created the TweetDeck Directory to make it easier to find and follow your favourite subjects, a bit like a TV Guide for Twitter channels. Have a browse through the topics below, find one that takes your fancy and click ‘Add to TweetDeck’ and the column will be magically added to your TweetDeck." - joebird

Such controversy over poor @dustindwyer. We @TheRapidian loved his piece. And here's a twist: In the spirit of hyperlocal, maybe you have to be local to get why George Wietor would attend a fire code meeting. - Denise Cheng

One of the perceived problems of open source is the lack of training available. That's really not the case, it's just that the training is spread out across multiple vendors and companies around the globe, as opposed to just being in one particular place. This site collates all the training that we can find relating to open source tools and software. We try to collate all the training we can find. If there's more training that you know about, then please add it in. If you've found anything that is inaccurate, then please let us know. Finally there's the feedback loop. If you do take some training, a good company will ask you for feedback on that. But how will anyone else know? Just the information on their website? Ask around? Well this is quick opportunity to rate and give feedback on courses you've taken so that others can judge for themselves. - joebird
