Can bullshit for about 5 minutes in various topics, including but not limited to: Python, C, asm, dynamic programming, AWS and the frustrating limitations of Eucalyptus, C#.

Wants to dive into: - web: Django or other (preferably lighter) WSGI frameworks such as web.py, Flask, Bottle. High-scalability infrastructure underneath, be it nginx, varnish, redis. RabbitMQ and how that ties into Openstack Nova.

- functional programming: OCaml, Erlang, probably too scared of Haskell, although the List Monad wasn't too difficult with the right explanation.
