The May Michigan Python Users Group (MichiPUG) meeting is coming up on Thursday, May 1. I’ll be leading discussion on zc.buildout and Paver. Any build/distribution/deployment tool talk is welcome, as well as our usual general talk about Python topics.

I hope to see you there!

This past weekend, Best Buy offered free electronic waste recycling. The amount of junk people brought out was amazing:

Seeing all of that stuff there and knowing that this is just the Ann Arbor Best Buy really brings it home about just how much of this stuff we all collect and trash. The good thing, though, is that it all ended up here. It will be recycle or at least disposed of properly so that the mercury, lead, etc. don’t wind up in the ground.

For those people who read my blog and happen to live around Ann Arbor, there are two free electronic waste recycling opportunities coming up.

• Tomorrow (April 28, 2008) from 10am to 4pm at the Best Buy on Lohr Road
• Saturday May 10 from 9am to 2pm at Pioneer High School

Keep that mercury, lead and other nasty stuff out of our landfills by taking your electronic junk to one of these places. It’s finally time to get rid of that 14″ CRT and the 486.
