Episode 035. Living on the Edge is back this week thanks to Chu Yeow. Also this week I put together an out-takes reel (which you can find at the bottom of this post). These are a few items that got cut from the original podcast, because... well.. they weren't appropriate. You'll want to listen to the podcast before you listen to the out-takes, or they may not make any sense.

Episode 033. Jason is finally back this week, and we've got plenty of stories to cover! Also, we are now looking for work. If you are looking for some customized Rails training for your team, need someone to look over your code (Code Review), or want to pair program for a day, definitely drop us a line.

Jason's Note: Thank you to everyone who emailed me while I was gone. I'm still going through all of that email but will get back to everyone. Also, I would like to apologize in advance for getting a song stuck in everyone's head. I'm sorry. But I'm also not sorry.

Also, here is the MVC Song in mp3 format if you just can't get it out of your head. Maybe use it for a ring tone or every time you teach MVC to someone in a presentation, hehe.

Feel free to embed these videos. If you want to download these videos for use elsewhere, you can go to the vimeo page for the video you want to download, login to vimeo, and you should see a download link in the bottom right.

Miss Railsconf this year? Thankfully I captured it here in a 36 minute video for you, free of charge. Just hit the play button and let the information flow directly into your brain. No podcast this week, enjoy the videos.

I also uploaded each of these clips separately, so feel free to re-post and embed to your hearts extent. The new MVC videos we premiered at the conference will be posted Tuesday morning, right here, so stay tuned!

Heh.. doing the whole video thing turned out a lot better then I could have expected. Maybe someone might be interested in hiring me to do video? You know, like Duncan Davidson does photography? Hey, I can dream, right? Oh, and if you're looking for additional Railsconf videos check out these guys here.
