In my last post a month ago, I highlighted seven videos I had released and nine more that were on their way out.  All those have been available for the past couple of weeks.

2011 started off with a big rushed round of finalizing the new year planning and getting goals and objectives locked down for G5.  We also just finished up an Autonomy day project on the 13th and 14th, I’ll have a post up on our engineering blog over the weekend.

I’m back on videos and have finished up:

• Eric Hodel’s – History of RubyGems

and started the slide synchronization on:

• Jeremy Hinegardner – Anthropology of Ruby: Excavating its Gems

Monday is a holiday for me, so I’m going to be spending the next three days cranking out more videos from RubyConf X.

The Los Angeles Ruby Conference is only a couple weeks away, check it out, and drop in for some great training and conference in sunny Southern California.
