Hi Jason, the site looks very nice. I also found your blog posting regarding Django vs Ruby very interesting, if I may ask, did you make some metrics to determine how faster Python can be over Ruby? Also, this might be a lot to ask but ... what kind of infrastructure do you use to support your site, I guess the site might required a lot of resources to work.
