I’m trying to collect media references (URLs) to articles, podcasts, and videos about Ruby and Ruby on Rails, like this month’s Linux Journal ( [http://www.linuxjournal.com/issue/147](http://www.linuxjournal.com/issue/147)) or the recent DDJ article ( [http://www.ddj.com/dept/architect/187203512](http://www.ddj.com/dept/architect/187203512)). If have such a collections yourself (or just know of some good references), could you please share them on this thread. Thanks, Curt ---

I’m assuming you mean ‘print media’. Not sure if any of these made it to print, but they’re likely candidates.
