Introducing the Django Debug Toolbar - SWiK
YES! The best feature of Symfony lovingly ripped off for Django.

Me right, now.
For the Me, right now pool.
Ver rules:
Take a picture of yourself right now.
Don't change your clothes, don't fix your hair...just take a picture.
Post that picture with NO editing.
Post these instructions with your picture.
The story behind the Palin e-mail hacking
The first media post I’ve seen which comes anywhere close to accurately describing Anonymous. I was heartily amused by the references to hackers being “loosely-affiliated with an anti-Scientology group” yesterday.

DjangoCon 2008 Keynote: Cal Henderson
Cal Henderson on “Why I Hate Django”. At last, someone willing to stand up and publicly state the “All serious programming language inventors have BEARDS!” theory. (Some seriously useful performance thoughts mixed in amongst the bile and kittens)

Current + Twitter = Hack the Debate
A little project that’s been going on here at Current Towers - During the presidential debates, we’ll be diving into Twitter and putting the *real* debate up on national TV in real(ish) time. (And who’s that handsome avatar halfway through the promo…?)
Ahh good ol’ Tricky Dick. #current
Screenshot from the Current TV Hack the Debate promo. (Words put into my mouth by persons unknown).
Current will be screening the US presidential debates live on TV, with relevant tweets overlaid in real(-ish) time. It promises to be a hell of an experiment (not least for our broadcast team!) First debate: Friday September 26th.

A pretty accurate representation of the Bill Gates/Jerry Seinfeld Microsoft ads.

Everybody's Wrong About Burn After Reading
Great post by Linda Holmes about the critics’ reaction to “Burn After Reading”.
Bob & Kelly
I'm presently encouraging Joy to try drinking coffee, and as part of that, today introduced her to "latté names"
Ridley gets dressed-up
…and our dogs breathe a sigh of relief that they don't make doggie costumes in fat-basset sizes!
Bacon in South Park
Enjoying running round and barking at the other dogs. Loudly.
Ridley the Pug
Tara Hunt's adorable new pug. His tongue seems to be too big for his mouth, so is always sticking out to the side.
Clydepeetrail
Clyde was taking a leak, then decided he needed to sniff something across the sidewalk. Sadly, he's old, so stopping wasn't an option, thus this attractive lumbering pattern.
