About Weavrs. Social Media Bots. Defined by keywords, they run around and simulate a defined personality. Can be further controlled by filters and topics.

Python Math | Python for iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch. Pretty cool, this is a really useful Python on the iPad. No GUI modules or anything - just a slightly enhanced shell and the standard library as well as sympy. numpy, scipy and matplotlib are under consideration.
