Kinder PE

My boy goes to Christa McAuliffe school. I aid there. One of my primary jobs is leading the Kinder PE session. Lately I've been focusing on calisthenics, such as running, push-ups, etc. But I'm thinking of putting together a CD with dance-able tunes and doing a Jazzercise type of session.

Programming language activity

I've been learning the c# language (pronounced C-sharp) lately. Even though it is from Microsoft, I consider it to be mostly created by an ex-Borland team. The lead designer is also the man behind Turbo Pascal. Amazing. I loved Turbo Pascal too, and C# is quite nice.

The mono implementation is pretty good, also. I also provides a Posix module that makes it more useful on Linux. I may start working more with that.

But I still mostly write in Python now. I recently improved the web framework functionality. It is possible to write useful web applications in pure python (no funky XML or template language required).
