Another night of sleep deprivation thanks to small children.

Sinatra 1.0 Released - And congratulations to all involved.
jQuery UI 1.8 - Speaking of significant releases.
Ruby Summer of Code - Rails didn't get approved for Google Summer of Code this year, but now the ruby community has their own alternative. Alas, I don't see any sign that the contributions are tax-deductible, which is a shame.
MTR - Nice combined alternative to ping and traceroute. Here are instructions to get it running on OS X.
TinyMCE for Rails - Lots of upgrades to this project lately.
Web Design Checklist - Another look at HTML5 and CSS3 support levels in various browsers.
