@craig – SlideShare allows you to upload a PDF of your presentation and then give you the embeddable widgety thing for your blog.

The post-it notes are Keynote things. I forgot to remove them and they were dutifully included by Keynote’s Export to PDF feature

Nice. I wish I would have gotten to see you at RailsConf.

How did you generate those slides? I especially love the post-it notes (although they can’t be moved on the SlideShare version).

Looks like someone has setup a runtime harness to support using RubyGems instead of Rails plugins. Nice work

Oh cool. We just hacked Merb to use gems for plugins. It seems like a much smarter approach.

Actually, it seems a spitfire has been stunting right above our heads for some time. They say it was to promote a sports tournament, but we know better: it was all in praise of Dr.Nic and His Magic Models!

@thijs – doh! Very sorry, completely forgot an explicit caption (photo links through). Fixed.

Eloy Duran’s also stealing your photos without acknowledgement. Sort him out too!

Hi Nic, I appreciate that you like my picture so much that you decided to use it, but can you please put something like ‘Photo by Thijs van der Vossen, Fingertips’ below it?

Would be great if you could make the ‘Fingertips’ a link to http://www.fngtps.com
