For those folks not already hanging out in #documentcloud... here's the log of this afternoon's Ember/Backbone politics discussion.
12:21 PM <wycats> jashkenas: hey
12:21 PM <wycats> jashkenas: I'm sorry
12:21 PM <wycats> how would you like me to describe backbone?
12:21 PM <wycats> let's work this out for once and for all :)
12:21 PM <wycats> I'm definitely not intentionally saying incorrect things about backbone
12:22 PM • knowtheory gets out popcorn
12:24 PM <jashkenas> don't worry about it too much -- I'm just not terribly pleased with backbone being continued to be used as the strawman...
12:24 PM <wycats> jashkenas: I am worried about it a lot

Convert OS X Keychain exported entries into logins for 1Password import
These two files should help you to import passwords from mac OS X keychains to 1password.
Assumptions:
1) You have some experience with scripting/are a power-user. These scripts worked for me
but they haven't been extensively tested and if they don't work, you're on your own!
Please read this whole document before starting this process. If any of it seems
incomprehensible/frightening/over your head please do not use these scripts. You will
probably do something Very Bad and I wouldn't want that.
2) You have ruby 1.9.2 installed on your machine. This comes as standard with Lion, previous
versions of OS X may have earlier versions of ruby, which *may* work, but then again, they

How to fix beanstalkd 1.4.6 compile error (MacPorts)
Just a informational gist if you plan to install "beanstalkd" via MacPorts and get a compiler error:
:info:build net.c: In function 'make_server_socket':
:info:build net.c:35: warning: 'fd' may be used uninitialized in this function
:info:build make[1]: *** [net.o] Error 1
:info:build make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
This is a known issue within the "net.c" file. I've found a diff[1] for said file on the web and applied it locally which then allowed me to install the port without problems.
If your install fails like:
