Rack-PageSpeed
Rack is probably the coolest web-development thing to come out of the Ruby community in the 5-ish years I’ve been paying attention. I’m continually impressed with projects like this :).

A small collection of CSS tricks with shadows.
First, from Harry Roberts, a clean way to do that loverly ribbon thing that has been so popular the last few years. Uses images, but the markup is muy simple. Also links to a pure-html+css way of accomplishing same but involves a lot of HTML5 wrappage.
Second, from Nicholas Gallagher, we have an overview of creating different, subtle effects with drop shadows, from curled corners to single horizontal folds.
Last, from Dustin Cartwright, we have a little toy keyboard. It’s not useful, but it sure is cool.
Thanks, fellas!

jQuery Waypoints Plugin
Easy, clean plugin that allows you to trigger events based on the user’s scrolling activity on your page. Very nice.

TileMill, an open-source map tile design toolkit
This is pretty impressive work, and will open the doors to all kinds of folks to play with creating interactive online maps. Very nice. It’s a bit of a chore to install right now, but it’s still “in progress”. (Oh, and it is built on nodejs. Nice.)

Wanna focus in on a couple of specs?
For reasons relating to rvm and TextMate’s continual inability to cope with it (seriously, where is TM2? ;) ), I’ve been running specs from the command line pretty much exclusively these days. Telling rspec to just run one suite at a time isn’t a particular problem, but what if you want to focus on a tighter set: one description block, or tighter still, one spec at a time? Or how about if you want to mark a set of specs that define a cross-cutting set of concerns and run those all?
Well, turns out you can pretty easily specify a line number (in both rspec 1 and 2) to run, and with rspec 2 you can tag specs and run only the tagged tests pretty easily as well. I’ve made a gist of here (hopefully embedded below) for future reference. Super-handy. Stay on target!
