Onward to RailsConf 2007

RailsConf 2007 I just found out that I will be attending RailsConf 2007!  A few people I work with will actually be presenting ideas there.

I’ve known about Ruby on Rails for a while now but not until recently have I had a chance to really do any development in it, all I can say is it’s total friggin cool!!!! I love it!!! It’s a bit of a change from PHP which I normally do all my development in.

Soon you may notice a post here or there on the subject, so if you have any comments or questions send them on over or just leave a comment to this post.

Personal Note (political, sorry) John Kerry insults our Military

First let me start by apologizing for this personal and political post, I usually try to keep personal beliefs of this nature out of the public eye but this was to much not to comment on.

At a campaign stop this past Monday in California John Kerry made a speech, during which he made a statement which I find completely insulting a down right frightening because it came from a man that has run (might run again) for President of the United States and is currently a State Senator.

He was speaking to an audience of college students about the importance of education and said the following;

you know education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't you get stuck in Iraq

So is he trying to say that anyone in our military is stupid! Regardless of your political stand or which party you are with, this is the wrong message you want to send out to the American public.
