Matt has created a local instance of Amazon's SimpleDB. It allows you to develop for SimpleDB if you don't have a SimpleDB account and helps you reduce the costs of SimpleDB development if you do have a SimpleDB account. Originally enough he has called it "SimpleDB/dev". It is an open source project and it is available on Google Code today.

Bluff is a JavaScript port of the Gruff graphing library for Ruby. It is designed to support all the features of Gruff with minimal dependencies; the only third-party scripts you need to run it are a copy of JS.Class (about 2kb gzipped) and a copy of Google’s ExCanvas to support canvas in Internet Explorer. Both these scripts are supplied with the Bluff download. Bluff itself is around 8kb gzipped.

I think part of the problem that is going on here is that the bulk of you are ignorant as to the word of God. I don’t have these beliefs just because I want to, I have them because they are the beliefs that I was raised in. I understand that everyone didn’t have the chance to be taught these things, and learn about God as my family did so if I am going to have this kind of attention I should use it to help teach others about the words of God that helped to shape me into the woman I am today.
Everyone I am sure knows the passage that in the beginning God created heaven and earth. But there is more then just this one that people remember.
