Love your life and you’ll lose it. Risk it and maybe, just, you’ll totter into heaven — the place of both annihilation and total knowledge; the place of beauty and joy. The risk is absolute, you’ll get nothing else out of it, not pleasure, not health, not affection, not comfort and certainly not safety. Just the beauty of God. - Sara Maitland

Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it. — Thomas Fuller

Stumbled to an entire book that is written using IPython Notebook. Wow!! Gone are the days when one had to read through static documents to learn something. Now with this kind of stuff, reading a book and executing the code that goes with the chapters of the book can be done very easily. Link : Probabilistic Programming & Bayesian Methods for Hackers

I have not been tracking many developments in the Python world for various reasons. Recently I stumbled on to this book and learnt that a ton of things have happened since the last version of my IPython installation. In the last one year or so, it has found a very strong community of pythonistas and is being used by professors in their classrooms. ipynb is turning out to be a format for submitting programming assignments.
