Lawrence, Kansas, USA.

developer at World Online for 2.5 years, during which time Django was
developed and implemented on World Online's sites. Now he works for

Jacob is a whipper-snapper from California who spends equal time coding and
cooking. He's lead developer at World Online and actively hacks on various
cool side projects. He's contributed to the Python-ObjC bindings and was
