Nick Fitzgerald, posted a nice piece on object oriented code on new years eve 2010. Yes he was blogging about programming on NYE. Whats perhaps more telling is I tweeted and read it as it came out.
One of the reasons I was happy to see a OO post on Ruby is the rarity. In our weekly meetup we don’t cover it enough. I think this is because seasoned Rubyists assume to have a working knowledge of the Ruby’s Object structure and new Rubyists tend to be facilitated by Ruby’s meta-programming side. Ignoring OO discussion can be a huge problem. As Yahuda Katz ( the man who saved Rails ) pointed out in a few rants as he walked through the shadow of active record that

Bernie Sanders' war on the banks
Bernie is for all intents and purposes OWS’s man in the Senate — whether they want one or not. Not one but two online campaigns have been launched to draft him for a presidential run.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Leaving Your Big Predatory Bank
A major goal of the Occupy Wall Street protest that’s been happening in New York City for nearly a month is to teach the banks that ruined America a lesson. The financial industry’s pursuit of money at all costs is a large part of why the United States is suffering today, but their “too big to fail” power is so intimidating as to confuse people wondering how to punish them for their unethical practices. Bank Transfer Day may be the solution everyone is looking for.
Bank Transfer Day is a grassroots effort to get anyone upset with large predatory banks to move their money to nonprofit credit unions by Saturday, November 5. People vote with their dollars far more often than they vote at the polls, and taking your money away from an institution with which you disagree is perhaps the best way to get back at big banks. Money talks to these people, so how about making your money silent?
Because completely shifting your finances can be a daunting task, communications firm Fearless Revolution has come up with a detailed step-by-step guide to leaving your big bank and joining a credit union. The final step: “Stand in front of a full-length mirror. Admire yourself. You’ve earned it.” (via The Daily Good)
