Brilliant Corners

The cheap cost of a new domain name was just too tempting, so I registered, and have set up railstips.org. I'm constantly following Rails and Ruby news in my newsreader, so I figured “why not collect all these tips and suggestions?” Well, why not indeed.

So, now I have yet another weblog I'll do my best not to abandon. :)

A couple is going around the world for a year and are going to be blogging the whole thing. But, instead of leaving it at that, they've opened up the site to allow anyone to add their own travel experiences. (via Lifehacker).

I'll be posting over at i like cameras for at least the next couple of weeks. ilikecameras is one of the sites in new 9rules/Paul Scrivens' Fine Fools Community. Read more about ilikecameras and the other sites here and here.

The group Reporters Without Borders has released an 86-page handbook with “handy tips and technical advice on how to remain anonymous and to get round censorship” (via kv).

Gina has started a new weblog, Spun, to focus more on web development topics. When I first came across her Scribbling.net site, I loved the tech writing she was doing. But over the last few years, Scribbling has become an outlet for her more personal writings. Her personal and fiction writing is fantasic, but at times I missed the nerdy Gina. :)

My friend Maya is about to embark on a six-month travel across Asia. Thankfully, she'll be chronicling her journey on her weblog and on Flickr. Before she takes off on her trip and the updates start rolling in, you can marvel at her wonderfully-detailed notebook drawings and notes.

Have a great trip, Maya!
