"Chef is an open source systems integration framework built to bring the benefits of configuration mangement to your entire infrastructure. You write source code to describe how you want each part of your infrastructure to be built, then apply those descriptions to your servers. The result is a fully automated infrastructure: when a new server comes on line, the only thing you have to do is tell Chef what role it should play in your architecture."

Zsh
"One area in which it is dramatically powerful is in its ability to interactively evaluate arguments. It can do command name completion, filename completion, and is extensible such that it can use programs to evaluate possible command completions. It is highly configurable, has a lot of cool features that a lazy man like me likes. The only problem is that Bash is the standard shell and that Zsh is not installed everywhere, so I tried to use Bash for a day, and the missing cyclic completion made me run back to Zsh."

I like Unicorn because it's Unix
http://tomayko.com/writings/unicorn-is-unix
"Eric Wong’s mostly pure-Ruby HTTP backend, Unicorn, is an inspiration. I've studied this file for a couple of days now and it’s undoubtedly one of the best, most densely packed examples of Unix programming in Ruby I've come across."
