Entrepreneur Forum at UC Berkeley

A few weeks ago I was asked to join in an Entrepreneur Forum at UC Berkeley hosted by the Business and Technology Association. It seems like Pownce has made me an entrepreneur.

Judging from the photos taken at previous Entrepreneur Forums, it's a pretty low-key event. In fact, it reminds me of all the guest panels I went to when I was a student at the U of M. So if you're a Berkeley student and a Pownce fan, feel free to stop by on Tuesday, Sept. 25th and say "hi."

Portable Social Networks for Django

There has been a lot of talk lately about portable social networks and a free social graph. To help build this social graph, Pownce now has a new feature where you can display the other online social networks you're a member of.

I thought other people might like to implement a similar feature on their own website so I've put the models, forms, and views (as well as an example) in Django-PSN (Portable Social Networks), for anyone to use on their Django-powered site. More information on how this project can be used to collect online social network data can be found here.

This is the first Django code (other than snippets) that I've made publicly available so please feel free to leave feedback or file bug reports.

Obligatory Butter Busts Photo

Went to the Minnesota State Fair today and took a photo of this year's Princess Kay butter sculptures.
