static controller. about to throw some tests in this beast (finally)
added these static guys through rails generate controller, then added a page by hand by updating the routes file, adding the corresponding action to the controller, and adding the template. wrote some tests around the h1 and title elements. got those tests to pass, refactored code to use erb templates.
added contact page, used let (nice btw) in rspec test file to reduce duplication
added a guard, don't know how sold i am on that sucker. rather ci deal with this noise. added a full_title helper to make a prettier default title. went through a chapter of learning ruby but nothing to show for that.
learned a bit about assets, the directory layout, sass, how to write match rules in the route config (root as a special case), new ruby 1.9 hashes (key: value... like json) added a signup page which doesn't do anything yet, but is handled by a different controller
