Living in the Cleveland area, there aren't a lot of "fun" places to drive. By "fun", I mean low traffic, twisty roads. We do, however, have the metroparks. That's as close as I can get to the mountain roads I'm used to back home.
So, today I took a bit of time to map my route home through the metroparks:

If you're familiar with the area, and can think of a better way, make me a map!
Looks like the presentations from PyOhio 2010 are published over at blip.tv. That's awesome, now I can catch up on the ones I missed.
Below is my presentation, chopped and hacked to make me look like less of an idiot ;)
Also, you can find my slides here: Splunking With Python and the source code for the talk with examples here: pyohio_talk @ bitbucket
Overall I had a great experience at PyOhio and can't wait for next year!
PyOhio, the first annual Python programming mini-conference for Ohio and surrounding areas will take place Saturday, July 26, in Columbus, Ohio. The conference is free of change and will include scheduled presentations, Lighting Talks and unconference-style Open Spaces.

PyOhio invites all interested people to present scheduled talks. All presentations are expected to last 40 minutes with a 10 minute question-and-answer period. PyOhio will accept abstracts covering any area of Python programming. A classroom area with computers will also be available for possible hands-on sessions.
All presentations proposals should submit abstracts no longer than 500 words in length. Abstracts must include the title, summary of the presentation, the expertise level targeted, and a brief description of the area of Python programming it relates to.
All proposals should be emailed to cfp@pyohio.org for review.
The submission deadline will be June 1, 2008. Accepted proposals will be notified by July 1.
