Nice docs Symfony!

However, [dependency injection] is also one of the most difficult [design patterns] to explain well. This is probably partly due to the nonsense examples used in most [tutorials]. In this chapter, we have tried to come up with examples that fit the PHP world better. As PHP is a language mainly used for web development, we are going to use simple Web examples.

I figure since everyone’s been talking about dependency injection, it might be good to know what they’re talking about.

I would try this: Homemade Nutella recipe

Passed by the poster for this movie on the way to work and had to do a double-take. What is this quirky movie? Paper Heart

Check out the Where the Wild Things Are: Exclusive Featurette (Maurice Sendak approves)

Everybody on the trip of making the movie was a little bit of a throwback, they are like the young people that I remember back in the 60s, kind of goofy, crazy, whacked out, but dramatically gifted.

This looks freaking awesome: Tron Legacy

I have to admit, I don’t really get all the brouhaha over the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing… but this is cool: Google Code announces that some of the source code for the Apollo 11 spacecraft has been put online

I can imagine myself trying to make bento lunches for my future children

The caption says it all: Mini Cooper Oscar Mayer Wienermobile

Finally, I’m going to be around for one of these:

Ryan Farr and Taylor Boetticher will be at it again, this time they are going to HANG and butcher a 21 day aged forequarter, 100% grass fed, 175lb slab of beef from Magruger Ranch. They will demonstrate there fine art of butchery, and then immediately throw shanks of meat on the grill for everyones enjoyment.

This made me chuckle: Finally after 2 months of classes and community service, I’m a certified Master Composter.

No, really, for real? The International School of Pizza

Next Thursday. Ferry Building. Street-food market. It’s on.

Ask for your Golden Dog Dogzilla-style, and what you get is a heap of chili-dog vividness. Only instead of canned chili and grated orange cheese, 4505′s version smothers the wiener with kimchi, diced red onion, and a handful of chicharrones.

Not what I expected: Coco Before Chanel (starring Audrey Tautou!)

Truth is stranger than fiction: Amazon Erases Two Classics From Kindle (I love technology, but I have no interest in ebooks) (via Andre)

Not from The Onion: The introduction of laser sights – first introduced around a decade ago by an American avionics expert – threw the [peashooting] sport into turmoil

The 4th branch: Experts Tell Congress to Lay Off the Fed

It turns out, blogging is as old as the web itself: Say Everything, Scott Rosenberg’s history of blogging (omg! www=blogging)

Not a bad way to go: The Last Pontiac

I used to walk by this spot every day on my way to lunch: oopies… in Sausalito

Just updated my Copy as HTML Link extension for Firefox 3.5 (the latest version will hopefully be showing up on addons.mozilla.org shortly)

I’m not sure anyone really cares about “Wolfram Alpha” anymore (Cuil? Cuil?) but this is certainly an interesting read: Wolfram Alpha and hubristic user interfaces

Whoa: MythBusters Co-Host Adam Savage on Obsession

I can’t even begin to think how they coordinated this: SOUR / 日々の音色 (Hibi no Neiro)

This is rad: Human skateboard

Oh snap!

It’s curious—one of the traditional roles of the print media was to act as a gadfly to business and government and keep ‘em honest, look into their claims and behavior and so forth and check to see if they were all on the up-and-up. So, now, has it fallen to blogosphere to play the very same role vis-a-vis the traditional media itself? Or am I reading way too much into this?

Man, this is different: J.R.Liggett’s Old-Fashioned Bar Shampoo

Update: Here’s another source for shampoo bars: Chagrin Valley Soap & Craft Company

John Resig: If there was ever a time to start playing around with the jump to HTML 5, now would be it.

And the other shoe drops: Introducing the Google Chrome OS

Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. Later this year we will open-source its code, and netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010.

My friend Christy’s boat, Ariel of Victoria, has its own website: The A/v Club (I think she’s planning on living on it—when she finishes restoring it)

How many times have we heard this song before? Google Plans to Introduce a PC Operating System. But seriously, I have to admit Chrome kind of came out of left field, so why not. Here’s the rub, if it was free—even if it wasn’t open source—to both individuals and resellers like Dell, it would probably put a serious crimp in Microsoft’s style.

This looks…stressful: The Hurt Locker

I did not know this: Richard Feynman explains how trains stay on their tracks

Another type of veggie basket: Yesterday’s Harvest

Now this is some serious home cheesemaking: heinennellie

With a name like Tapas de Castillo Blanco, it has to be good, right?

OMG perfect! Loose Tweets Sink Fleets (and more)

Has anyone had any experience with the MEI Voyageur travel pack? (I’d never heard of it until stumbling upon a positive review on One Bag and One Bag, One World)

It’s so neat that this exists: Daily Paintworks, a community of daily painters
