MagCloud: on demand magazine printing is awesome! I have a ton of ideas for using a service like this. The cost per page is still a big high, $0.20, but the potential is huge.

One of my favorites, Kickstarter, is mentioned.

Sinatra & Mongoid template app

At Codebits I had some problems configuring a Sinatra application to use MongoDB with the Mongoid ORM. And then I had some other problems deploying it on Heroku with the MongoHQ add-on.

Eventually I got it all working smoothly. To avoid going through the hassle again, I uploaded to GitHub a template application which works out of the box with the above configuration. Looking at it now, it looks pretty straightforward, and I can’t remember what the issues were. But it might save some time to someone else.
