Rails Edge introduces Rails Metal, based on Rack. Think of it as a way to bypass the Rails framework on certain requests. DHH gives the example of the Campfire chat application. I’m thinking about Flash Remoting (AMF). No reason to really call a controller, walk through the Rails stack, just to have separate logic query the database and return a serialized object. This could make Remoting through Ruby really really fast.

By the way, the new Jeckyll based Github pages are sweet for developers working on open source projects.

Adobe Updater knows about the CS3 update that adds AIR support to my purchased copy of CS3, but alas, it fails on installing the update. Highly annoying considering how many times the Updater pops up.
