... you probably have a time zone issue.

When you get

Timecop.travel(Date.parse("2011-11-11 00:00") do
  Time.current   => Thu, 10 Nov 2011 23:00:01 UTC +00:00
  Time.now       => Fri Nov 11 00:00:02 +0100 2011
  Date.today     => Fri, 11 Nov 2011
  Date.tomorrow  => Fri, 11 Nov 2011
end

you probably haven't defined a zime zone yet.

So might fix this by adding the following lines to your application.rb:

class Application < Rails::Application
  config.time_zone = 'Berlin' # or whatever your time zone
end

It seems Date.yesterday uses the time zone Time.current uses and Date.today uses the same time zone like Time.now.

CSS: Matching against attributes and their values (or parts of them)

You probably know that you can use CSS selectors to match against elements and their attributes, such as:

a[title] { /* any <a> that has a "title" */ }
a[data-fancy="true"] { /* any <a> that has their "data-fancy" attribute set to "true" *...

When I give a button and a link the same styles, why is the link one pixel higher?

It's not logical, so don't be too hard on yourself. You need to give it a height and change the box-sizing and display:

button
input[type="reset"],
input[type="button"],
input[type="submit"],
input[type="file"] > input[typ...
