I, with my partners, am working on http://www.snapact.com/ in the midst of creating a better API in order to create more clients for more platforms. Fun and exciting (to me) stuff.

After years of writing Manufacturing, Retail and Financial Backend/Middleware, I'm working on the following exclusively (for better or worse).

Maintaining Version 2.x & Building the All New Version (3.0) of http://www.inkedmag.com

Continuing the build of Version 2.x of http://www.surfacemag.com

and soon to be working on a brand new Version 2.x of http://www.tokion.com (currently a simple set of splash pages)

All for publishers in NYC. I do so wish they would acquire a technical journal, or some form of academics research journal(s). Fashion & Sub Cultures are interesting for those in said cultures but it doesn't mean that I wouldn't find more scholarly/research minded content/environments more interesting.

I like this site. Question: I can't tell from the source if you are using a CMS of any kind or if this is custom developed in Django or similar. Care to reveal what you used?

It's all custom Django, good guess on that one. I do use my fair share of external Django apps though. Ignoring the built in Django apps, My INSTALLED_APPS list has 10 unmodified external reusable apps, and 11 internal apps, which include ones I built myself and a few reusable apps I had to modify. Thanks to everyone for the positive comments.

A minor tip: create a 404.html that matches the look of the site. Right now you're serving the one from the Django admin :)
