youngbenny··on Awsbox: A DiY PaaS for Node.JS
I'm working with a small team on an open source backend at dreamfactory.com. Apache licensed and installable on AWS, Azure, etc. or on any LAMP server. REST API is here http://www.dreamfactory.com/developers/live_API. CORS support plus JS SDK and boilerplate apps for jQuery, AngularJS, and Sencha around the corner.

Has anyone read Information: The New Language of Science by Hans Christian von Baeyer?

I just read Metaphors We Live By by Lakoff, George and Johnson, Mark. It's an interesting study of how metaphors unconsciously drive thinking and perception.
