We’re Flawed.

“When a man walks into a room, he brings his whole life with him. He has a million reasons for being anywhere. Just ask him. If you listen, he’ll tell you how he got there. How he forgot where he was going. And then he woke up. If you listen he’ll tell you about the time he thought he was an angel and dreamt of being perfect. And then he’ll smile with wisdom, content that he realized the world isn’t perfect. We’re flawed because we want so much more. We’re ruined because we get these things and wish for what we had.” -Don Draper

I gave a talk at PhillyPUG last night discussing how you can easily implement validation in your app with a python library called formencode. You can find the code and accompanying slides here.. https://github.com/kmano8/validationtalk.

Riding

Karl — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 21:46:55 +0000

After checking out various shops around Philadelphia over a few weeks, I finally picked up a road bike last week from a place in Rosemont. I got out a couple of times between rainy days to get a hang of how to work this thing, but didn’t go any substantial distance until yesterday. After riding the Schuylkill River Trail the past two days, I wish I would’ve started sooner. Anyway, I thought I’d keep track of my progress, so I’ve got a little chart that’ll live over in the sidebar, and will continue to update as I enter in data. Fun! So if you want to ride, give me a shout.. winter’s right around the corner.

Live Out Back

Karl — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:00:22 +0000

Back in August, we had a bbq, and ended up putting on a little impromptu show. These are selections from that day. The balance is a bit rough around the edges, but I sorta like how you can hear dogs, cicadas, various aircraft, and other fun things in the background. Credits to Alan on mandolin, Brian on guitar, Eric on bongos, and Joe on rhymes in Change the World. Enjoy!

Memorable Spots in Bryn Mawr

Karl — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 20:32:49 +0000

I got a chance to walk around Bryn Mawr for a bit yesterday, and thought I’d snap a few shots with my phone. These spots are memorable to me for various reasons..
