Hmm.  Show of hands -- who in the LUG has a tech blog?  I keep meaning
to start one, but I generally end up spending my mental tech bandwidth
on things that get me paid.  (Though perhaps a good tech blog would be
a nice credibility-builder for consulting services...)

I definitely would like to see this!  If you're willing, that would be great.

Hells yes.  I have been wanting to check Django out for a while.  As I
have previously indicated on the list, I'm a hardcore python sort of
guy.

I keep trying to get other people to talk, so maybe I need to stand up
and give a spiel myself.  I'll try to think of something interesting.
