  Parkour in Melbourne, Australia (my home town)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntFEoSV-PEc
  Mental block - you know you can physically do it, but you need to cross the line from just believing you can do it
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3022662956956514828
  Long (90 minutes), the first section though is a really good intro to parkour - basic philosophy and methods

Refactor this code: URL Matching Edition
--

So I have Pages, in a nested set so that each page has parent. That allows me to have urls like:

    /foo/bar

where the Page with permalink 'foo' has a child with the permalink 'bar'. In my routes.rb I have a general catch-all route as my last route. 

    map.page '/*tree', :controller => 'pages', :action => 'show'

Need to build a "waiting list" for registrations.
Thinking about duplicating the table structure, rather than having an 'accepted' flag on the Registration.
This way it's easier to efficiently query stats, without having to worry about joining in registration or including 'accepted' in conditions/indexes.

Should be able to meta-program most of it, so not much extra code. Keeps data clean.

Registration
has N Options
has 1 Thing
... other things
