Link: Creating Passionate Users.
The secret, of course, is to keep learning, keep changing and stay open to new ideas, even if they don't fit in with the way you've always done things. Besides making your life more interesting, it can also save your life or at the very least, save your brain. You are less likely to be senile in your old age if you keep forcing yourself to learn new things, and forge new pathways in the brain. It's exercise for the brain.

"SITH" SPOILERS
You've been warned...

That's all I need to know. I'm going to see Episode 3 when it comes out.

Link: Having O'Reilly on board the Rails (Loud Thinking).
Add to that, Tim O'Reilly himself picked up on another Rails philosophy the other day with Frameworks are Extractions:
For example, basecamp wasn't built on top of Ruby on Rails. Rather, Ruby on Rails was extracted from basecamp. This approach seems obvious and commonsense — but hardly common in this era of heavy web services standards-ware designed by technical committees far in advance of actual implementation.
