@bwshields It just seems a rather odd time in life to be getting a first tat. -- I waited until I was sure I was not going to be a model.

Tattoo appointment scheduled for Saturday at 5PM - we will see if I go through with it. I don't want to lose my $10 deposit.
@g_gerg - I see it was based off of work by Allen and Jeff, nevermind about relicensing it yourself. @drchuck - I might switch to CC-BY

Well my real first draft is done and ready for review - http://bit.ly/8okXQ4

Chapter 9: Dictionaries is done - Only two more to go - 10: Tuples and 11: Data Structures
Chapter 8: Lists is done - Chapter 9: Dictionaries needs a bit more work...
Chapter 7: Files is done. The rest of the book should be pretty quick because the base text is already in good shape.
It is hard to proof-read a book with a cat on your lap. http://twitpic.com/uss19
I am slowly falling in love with LaTeX (the text formatter not the substance) - I wish it handled images better and figures were prettier.
Chapter 7 (Files) is alpe d'huez - so today we get an early start with plenty of coffee.
Like @holdorph, @microcline i am concerned about anyone who claims to hate caddyshack
Done with Chapter 6, Strings. Turned out nice. Now on to Files - needs some real redo.
Chapters 1-5 of "Python for Informatics" are in pretty good shape. Next up: strings and files. The rest should go quickly.

Drew my first figure in XFig - it is like going back in time to 1982 UI-wise. Keynote is much easier to draw in.

Final exams for #si539 and #si502 are up in CTools under Test Center... Good luck all.
@sunnybeach www.campusheritage.org looks cool. The translation seems not to work for me. But Ning does seem to be cool.
