Idea for a Backbone module system (allowing modules to be accessed across multiple files, possibly loaded out of order). Inspired by https://gist.github.com/1202511

Benchmark Tire gem with RestClient and Curb HTTP Clients
#
# A basic, synthetic benchmark of the impact HTTP client has
# on the speed of talking to ElasticSearch in the Tire gem.
#
# In general, Curb seems to be more then two times faster the RestClient, in some cases it's three
# to five times faster. I wonder if keep-alive has anything to do with it, but it probably does.
#
# Run me with:
# $ git clone git://github.com/karmi/tire.git
# $ cd tire

Running exactly two test files

With just ruby:

$ ruby -Ilib:test -e'require "test1"; require "test2"'

Via your rake task:

$ rake TEST=test/test[1,2].rb

======
Download any youtube video, in the original format ogg without
loosing quality, and also convert a mp3 from the ogg.
You have to decide if the mp3 quality is enough for you. Or you
can adjust the parameters of the conversion if you need the mp3
