Great Python Ebook for $1.00?! →
I love Python. But I’m still fairly new to it, so today I purchased this - the second edition of Learn Python The Hard Way. And now I can read it on my iPhone for only a dollar?! That’s even less than a quid! WIN.

Put Some Meat On Those Bones!
I’ve been doing the odd bit of work on AbstractBone recently, adding a command line utility called “jab” that allows for quicker setting up of projects and rapid addition of controllers, views, and templates.

Awesome. Terrifying. Inspiring.
DARPA’s list of programs read like a SciFi novel and often evoke the same reactions. The only difference is that DARPA is producing actually working results.
Several of the amazing posts I’ve put up were funded by DARPA, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. In researching a previous post about regenerative medicine (here), I stumbled upon...

Tadaima!
Well I’m back. Ten minutes before I was due to finish work today I decided it was time to give Tumblr a go.
