Truth: my blog and I have been apart for a while. Another truth: I've been reading more about Ruby. In fact, the more I read, the more I want to. Also, I've been growing tired of certain things:
<ul>
	<li>PHP is not it anymore.</li>
	<li>Wordpress or Drupal are top notch. I don't <em>need</em> top notch; I want to publish content easier and faster.</li>
	<li>I want to learn Ruby the hard way. I want to learn how to <em>test</em>, I want to learn how to <em>build a gem</em>, how to use <em>Rack</em>, all of it. Only then I'll be more confident enjoying the full power of Ruby.</li>
	<li>I <em>don't </em>want to <em>depend on a database</em> to publish my content. I never saw that much sense in storing articles inside a relational database column. I love <em>Git</em> and it seems it is capable of storing the content I want.</li>
	<li>I'm sick of 10+ spam comments a day.</li>
</ul>
My next dare: a git + ruby based blog. So, I'll be posting several articles on how I'm doing. If possible, I'll post videos too. I'll make sure to use Vimeo since it accepts OGG (it seems lighter).

Thanks to the people at the <a href="http://locks.github.com/rubynorte">Ruby meetup in March 19th</a> who have motivated me (even without knowing).
