My Grid System
Posted on
There's a lot of people using responsive CSS grid systems these days. Twitter's Bootstrap and Nathan Smith's 960 Grid System are two really popular ones.
I've never really been a fan of grid systems. Having tons of divs with classes that correspond to layout all over the place just feels wrong and makes your code look ugly. Anyway, I have a really basic way of doing things that I guess is technically a grid system, but I don't like to think of it like that.
Here's the basic layout:
Part of RubyMotion Open Sourced

This is really amazing to hear.
After much thought and deliberation, we decided to open parts of RubyMotion. We believe that this will make it even easier for the community to contribute to and extend the RubyMotion platform, leading to a better RubyMotion for everyone.
Today, we are opening the “lib” directory of RubyMotion, which contains the build system, project Rakefile, the configuration object and also the project vendoring system. Check out the HipByte/RubyMotion repository.
I can't wait to see the community start improving this already growing platform.
Having Less
Posted on
When I left my last job a few months ago, I decided to simplify. Partly to save money to pay for my expenses and partly to just have less stuff.
Currently, the only furniture in my apartment is my desk, bed, and table. I'll also most likely be selling my table when I move out of my current apartment. Having almost nothing is fantastic. No TV to distract. No couch to lounge on. Focused.
I spend most of my day working at my desk or outside riding my bike. It's been really great for keeping me focused on Cheddar.

Acrylic always impresses. Pulp 2.5 for Mac and iPad is really beautiful.
Coda 2

Panic just released their Coda 2 teaser site. It's ridiculously impressive.
In the tour video, they are editing a WordPress site and uploading files via FTP. Back when I was doing PHP, Coda was my go to editor. It looks like it's still targeted at that market. On the list of new features is "Improved Ruby." Fingers crossed.
Their fancy CSS editor looks amazing. If that and the iPad preview work with SASS, I'll be very, very happy.
