Pictures: Cape Cod
I was over in the Boston/Cape Cod area earlier this month. Only got to site see for a couple hours but still thought I’d share the few shots I have. What I learned while visiting..- My grandma once used Jackie O’s toilet.
- I’m about 2 megadollars short of being able to live there.
- Every photo you take would be perfect for a viagra ad.

Pictures: Costa Rican Landscapes
I recently returned from a week-long trip from Costa Rica. These are best frames from the trip and are intended for large format viewing. Flickr royally sucks at that (everything is shown low-res by default), but you can nab higher-def shots with a few clicks if you have a 24″+ monitor and would like to fill your screen.
Contact me privately if you’d like copies of the highest resolution RAW sources. (JPEG == Yucky.)

Photos: One Laptop Per Child (OLPC)
Here’s Marc on his new OLPC laptop, which he received for a generous donation. It has a surprising amount of functionality packed inside that adorable green exterior, and found all the local WiFi hotspots immediately. Mega philanthropic props to Marc and all involved. Full resolution shots are available on Flickr.

Rails 2.0: Gmail SMTP With ActionMailer
Marc just checked in a nifty little Rails 2.0 plugin to the OpenRain public subversion repository which encapsulates the voodoo required to use a Gmail SMTP server with an otherwise ordinary ActionMailer configuration. Gmail requires TLS security, which is why this is useful. Grab the plugin for your Gmail-mooching Rails 2.0 site, here.
Note: I previously wrote about how to do this for Rails 1.2.x here.
Update (2008.06.25): Broken download link fixed!

Penguin Pimp
Karen and I Celebrated our friend Gilraen’s birthday by molding figurines out of Sculpey, which turned out to be an excellent party activity. Karen started off with a cute penguin body, but somehow we ended up with a pimp: complete with hat, cane and technicolor dream coat. There are.. hmm.. “other” complementary figurines, but I’ll refrain from sharing those pictures in the name of cleanliness. Maybe the wine had something to do with it? Whatever.. good times
