Great overview of Github's use of RPC and the creation of BERT-RPC which uses Erlang to broker jobs to Ruby. This could easily work with Python. I'm impressed that Github chose RPC instead of going with XML or JSON which too many companies use as a big hammer. Web services have their place but I'm surprised how many times developers will over-engineer solutions and create inefficient solutions. Well done Github!

A Star Wars recreation with goals of recreating 472 chunks at 15 seconds each and stitching together the movie. Looks pretty damn cool!

"Ghostery alerts you about the web bugs, ad networks and widgets on every page on the web." This could be extremely helpful if I still used Firefox.
