Today, Planet Argon announced a new business hosting plan called Boxcar. If you are looking for hosting for your rails application in the coming weeks, and need a bit more power than what a shared server has to offer, look no further.
Head over to the Boxcar website to sign up for the mailing list and you will be notified as soon as Boxcar launches.
On another note, I believe this is the first of my design work I’ve done since I was hired that has seen the light of day….BOO YA!
I Took the Web Design Survey...

..And you should too. Why a survey?
Designers, developers, project managers. Writers and editors. Information architects and usability specialists. People who make websites have been at it for more than a dozen years, yet almost nothing is known, statistically, about our profession. Who are we? Where do we live? What are our titles, our skills, our educational backgrounds? Where and with whom do we work? What do we earn? What do we value?
So head over to A List Apart and take the Web Design Survey!
