In the past three days, I've launched two sites that I designed and developed. The Experimental Station site has been a long time coming, a big ol' Drupal site for a wonderful cultural space on Chicago's south side.

I also managed somehow to get involved in some Kalven Report insanity with UChicagoSTAND.org, an online petition urging the University of Chicago to divest from its interests in Sudan. That site was a very short time coming -- I wrote the petition app and a simple CMS in Django in an approximately 36 hour window.

As always, I'm amazed by the generosity of the free software community. Projects like Django and Drupal give projects like these powerful, smart tools for doing awesome work online.
