Dearest Friends,
Medium here. You might remember us as Coptix. But that was a long time ago and in a neighborhood far, far away (actually, it was St. Elmo). Now it’s a year later and time for another brobdingnagian (look it...
Producers at Medium produce. Can you?We're looking for a fanatically organized, confident and capable individual to be responsible for the day-to-day management of interactive projects, working either as a project lead on small-to-medium sized projects or in a support role...
Dear Friends, I have just returned from the 66th Annual meeting of the AAPS. These past few days at the AAPS meeting have been very interesting. We heard from Kelly Jones (the PharmD who worked with my mentor, Dr....
CSS, HTML, Javascript, and Photoshop. Do you like to build the web?
Front-end Engineers at Medium breathe life into creative concepts and bridge the gap between the design and development teams. Applicants should be comfortable with creative...
The NEJM contains two studies and an editorial on vertebroplasty. Both were blinded, randomized, controlled trials. One was done in Australia, the other at 11 centers around the world, by a Mayo Clinic lead. Cement is injected...
I can’t say I’m sorry to see summer go. Don’t get me wrong — I enjoyed every popsicle, ice cream cone, walk to the park, and trek out to the lake (and let’s face it, I’ll continue enjoying at least...
UNIX, Python, jQuery, and git. Do you speak our language?
Developers at Medium will interface with a wide variety of technologies and platforms. Applicants should be comfortable in the UNIX development environment and with the following:...
When many Python projects are maintained in the same development
environment, managing package dependencies can be difficult. Each
project may have different needs, but packages and modules are
installed into the same space by default. To help address this
problem, Ian Bicking created...
Moving to Spokane has been a very wonderful, but difficult, transition for our family. I love the weather here (most of the time!), and the fact that we are near my family. I feel like it is important for Kyrie...
We're proud to announce that Medium has partnered with EPB, Alcatel-Lucent and Tantalus Systems Corp. to bring a fiber-optic based smart grid network to EPB’s 170,000 customers in East Tennessee and North Georgia. Medium is serving as a financial...
I love that it’s the things that cost the least money that usually are the most fun. Rick and I went to the pet store today just to let the kids look at the puppies and kitties, birds and fish,...
Earlier today, while we were headed to the store, Rick and I were talking about how fun it would be to go to Hawaii (yeah, we often talk of exotic vacation spots, we can’t help it) and Kyrie said, “Hawaii??...
Today's Epistle reading mentions covetousness, and I was reminded of this quote from Gilead which made me look at covetousness from a different angle:I don't know exactly what covetise is, but in my experience it is not so much desiring...
Rain, glorious rain! I’ve hoped for some for quite a while, mostly just so our water bill would not be so high from watering our enormous and rather yellowish lawn, but also just for a change of scenery, and the...
"She was less inclined to pray that she had been once. In her childhood, when her father, a tall man then and graceful, had stepped into the pulpit and bowed his head, silence came over the people. He...
Antonio loves to repeat everything he hears. He also loves to bring me a story, have a story for himself, and then pretend to read his aloud while I read the one he handed me. But sometimes he’ll actually sit...
This new health plan proposal is taking government doublespeak to a new level. We are now experiencing savings by not only not paying for services rendered, but by fining and taxing more people. Hogberg has an excellent analysis...
* The Fourth of July was lots of fun. I can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard about nothing! I loved it. And all the food was delicious, the drinks were grrreat, the fireworks pretty, and the sparklers,...
A friend forwarded a commentary on a study on BP variability and its connection to dementia. This was a poster presentation at a conference, so the numbers are not available to us. As presented in this commentary, it...
Antonio has really taken off with his vocabulary. He surprises me every day with new words, and is starting to put sentences together. His enunciation is impressive, too! I can’t believe my little baby is talking!
Some recents:
This morning, he picked...
I love our house! It’s in such a beautiful location, is spacious, and has big windows that let lots of light in. I feel like I’m in a fresh, warm environment here. If we ever were to buy it, I...
(I stole this from my favorite person to steal surveys from.)
1. What are your middle names?
Hannah and Anthony
2. How long have you been together?
7½ years
3. How long did you know each other before you started dating?
Officially, almost a year, not...
It has been embarrassingly long since I’ve updated the ol’ blog. Facebook is to blame, I’m afraid. But I’ll try to do better in the future.
We recently took a trip to Florida and had a wonderful time. Rick has been...
Finding a simple .NET web service consumer is a common challenge for agencies that do work on the web. Most of us would like to build all our sites on a sustainable web framework (such as Django or TurboGears), however,...
Mark Bowden's excellent Vanity Fair article on New York Times publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr. examines the ongoing effects the Internet is having on the newspaper industry. The money quote:
"The invention of the Internet has caused a fundamental shift...
Satchmo Signals and Real-Time Price Changes
If there is one thing a developer using Satchmo in a project is going to want to master, that one thing should be signals. Django has offered all of us a fantastic framework for notifying...
Our last article created a simple listener connected to Satchmo's cart_add_view signal, enabling us to interrogate a user or a user account to discover whether s/he is shipping items to a US or international address. In Part Three of our...
One Price to Fit Them All
Unfortunately, Satchmo is not equipped to handle a very critical requirement of our project – selling products at both US and international price levels. Satchmo's current implementation of product pricing is via a separate Price...
In the previous article, we built custom models for Volume, Issue, and Article products that extend the Satchmo Product model via model inheritance. In this article, we move forward with helping Satchmo handle selling items at more than one standard...

Extending and Overriding Satchmo's Product Catalog
The first major task we faced was the product catalog. Satchmo's catalog is, for lack of a better word, massive. It is complete with a base Product model, and a number of extensible products –...
Satchmo says it is “The webshop for perfectionists with deadlines.” These Satchmo diaries walk through the highlights of our work stretching Satchmo to its limits (or getting pretty close). One of our core commitments was to, at all costs, treat...
Olan Mills, the worldwide leader in portrait photography innovation and quality, is proud to announce the launch of a new
website—designed and developed by Medium—for its Studio Portrait Division. As part of Olan Mills' commitment to
engaging customers with the latest in...
And, as Facebook's membership has grown at an obscene rate, repetitive and unwanted requests and messages from Groups have done the same. Further complicating the problem is that each invitation and message are treated atomically, as distinct calls to action...
