Wow, when your up at 6AM in the morning studying for a Psychology test and you run into a photo as beautiful as this, you just gotta tell somebody about it. It’s quite euphoric to look at and a great find.
See, browsing the Digg homepage at any hour can have great results.

Wow, I’m enjoying making podcast mixes a lot more than I thought I would. Maybe they will keep coming more than once or twice a month. This episode I have stepped away from the housey, progressive feel of the previous podcast and am focusing on just really good trance music. There are more songs with vocals this episode and a lot of songs I think need to get more recognition. Anyways, I’m trying to come up with a good name for the podcast. Any suggestions?
Enjoy!

I’ve been messing around with mixing for awhile on my laptop and thought I would start posting some mixes as a podcast. I’m gonna shoot for once or twice a month. Expect the podcasts to mostly contain electronic, progressive, and trance music. I’m still new at this stuff so don’t go too harshly on me. I think I’ll get better the more I do it. Also please know that the browser player isn’t working well for this episode. It will be fixed in the future.

Available now as a beta PDF download over at The Pragmatic Programmers site, is the new RSpec Book. The full title of this book is “The RSpec Book: Behaviour Driven Development with RSpec, Cucumber, and Friends.” It has six authors, most of which are developers of RSpec and Cucumber. I have had the time to read through the first 100 pages of the book and definitely think this is a very useful resource for anyone interested in BDD over TDD.
Here is the official description from PragProg:
Is your team trying to do TDD and failing? Are you finding your test suites bloated and difficult to read, understand, or maintain? Business applications today are plagued with features that are never used, highly coupled code that is hard to change, and expensive test suites that aren’t run any more because they are brittle and unreadable.
RSpec, Ruby’s leading Behaviour Driven Development tool, helps you do TDD right by embracing the design and documentation aspects of TDD. It encourages readable, maintainable suites of code examples that not only test your code, they document it as well. The RSpec Book will teach you how to use RSpec, Cucumber, and other Ruby tools to develop truly agile software that gets you to market quickly and maintains its value as evolving market trends drive new requirements.
Definitely give it a look
mojombo over at the Github Blog has published a new post encouraging users to take action and tell Apple what they really want. And what they really want is for Git to come preinstalled in the next version of Mac OSX.
I have a dream wherein future developers don’t even have to install Git for themselves in order to be able to use it. Apple has shown a very forward thinking attitude towards shipping OS X with various programming languages and version control systems. Right now is a critical time in which we can help push to have Git preinstalled on the next version of their operating system. The more people that use Git, the better the ecosystem becomes, and removing the installation barrier is a big step in that direction.
If this sounds like something you are interested in, Github encourages you to open a ticket on Apple’s bug reporting site.
