Title: Using PyFacebook without the Facebook middleware
Tags: Facebook PyFacebook django pythonI've been working on a Facebook application with a couple of friends recently. We decided to use <a href="http://www.djangoproject.com>Django</a> and the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/pyfacebook/">PyFacebook</a> library, but there was a brief period of intense confusion on my part about how to use the PyFacebook library without the included middleware. I worked through it, though, and this article has some advice on how you can do the same.

Title: "You Are Beautiful At All Times" by Yppah
Tags: Yppah music reviewMy favorite album so far this year. Whether you call it trip-hop or electronica, its ambiguous in all the best ways, and definitely worth a listen. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FYou-Are-Beautiful-All-Times%2Fdp%2FB000HDRABC%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dmusic%26qid%3D1194307864%26sr%3D1-1&tag=irratioexuber-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">You Are Beautiful At All Times</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=irratioexuber-20&l=ur2&o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> by Yppah is a gem.

Tags: Pirsig thoughtsSome thoughts about one of Pirsig's arguments in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FZen-Art-Motorcycle-Maintenance-Inquiry%2Fdp%2F0553277472&tag=irratioexuber-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=irratioexuber-20&l=ur2&o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, as viewed from the eyes of a programmer. Are my thoughts valid? Correct? True? Well. That probably depends on context.
