Thing A Week #4: Alpaca Power
Welcome to my weekly post where I try to do something, anything, creative. Whether it be writing, drawing, photography or programming. This week I ended up doing a good bit of drawing and I figured I could share my doodling attempts, like the cup on a table above.

Postmortem for Easy Blog Django
Last January I released, to virtually no fanfare, my completed blog app. It was all software that I had written myself in Django with the help of various other libraries.
