The .NET meeting gives me a book on... Ruby

I attended the CMAP (Central Maryland Association of .NET Professionals) tonight. The presentation was on jQuery, which isn't a .NET technology nor even a Microsoft thing. And while I didn't win anything during the raffle I did pick up Thomas and Hunt's "Programming Ruby" (also not a .NET or Microsoft thing).

I did talk we a few other folks. My friend Ben is considering a position in Washington, but is not happy with the commute. (And it *is* a long commute.)
