I think we actually do need a “death panel.” For IE6 that is…

• ruby_koans
  An awesome idea! Learn Ruby by making the tests pass for short “koans” that build up your knowledge and build upon each other.
• The Brads – Alignment in Design
  Great cartoon illustration about using alignments in web design.
• punypng: crushing your images even more
  A better way to crush your pngs (and jpegs?)
• test-first-teaching
  Homework assignments for teaching ruby.
• clickistrano
  A one-click deployment app for Capistrano deployments. Built with Sinatra.
• AnythingSlider jQuery Plugin
  Another jQuery slider plugin, but this one is ‘really “fully featured”.’ I’ve always used the jQuery scrollable plugin from the flowplayer folks, but might be worth looking at another option.
• Telescopic Text
  Just for fun. Click on the highlighted text and watch a simple statement about making tea become a very complex narrative. Brilliantly executed.
