So I don't forget...

Write an article that covers the basics of using CarrierWave with Rails 3.x and expands a bit on the EY article to:

* Discuss more about the lifecycle of the file upload to crystalize the sequence of events that occur and give people a strong understanding of the library's approach.
* Provide a reference app in github people can clone and deploy themselves to Heroku with minimal steps. The app might upload images to S3 as well as create a couple thumbnail versions of the image.
* Utilize environment variables for config settings as is the Heroku approach.

See here for a recent article that dives a little bit into a reference application and explains some of the concepts behind the approach in addition to the standard howto language. http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/cdn-asset-host-rails31
