This post is from one of several previous incarnations of this site and probably doesn’t quite fit the current format. In a former life this was a group blog and a tumblelog before it became a static jekyll site. If anything looks broken or is worded oddly that could be why. Pardon the dust.
In-depth interview with Django developer Adrian Holovaty on his new project EveryBlock.com, spinning off from the success of ChicagoCrime.org. Interesting to hear how much brute force data-munging they do.
