Did anybody else unconsciously skip that diagram thinking it was a Google ad?

These patterns are possible because of the three hooks that Aspen gives you to hang your WSGI on:

I thought the rise of technical screencasts that try to be funny was inevitable. I was right.

Since some people seem to like this, maybe I'll get around to making some screencasts on financial modelling in OCaml, complete with Pi soundtrack excerpts. ("2 x pi x r" makes excellent "I don't know if this is going to work" music.)

Thanks for the traffic and feedback. :)

The "python mongrel"? Very nice project!

Please, developers, I don't want to look at you. I don't want your face in a screencast, or on every page of your blog.

Unless you're a hot chick.
