Because that's what I find interesting I guess. Having a living, active product is just sort of fascinating to me. But I'm sure there's non-web stuff out there that I would dig too. The question was more about the internship thing.
Well, its pretty important to know what your interests are. It sounds like you're not too sure about what you want. From my experience, one learns a helluva lot from an internship when you're not thinking about the money and spending more time loving whatever it is your working on. I don't think there are many Python shops around here, but I do know a few openings you might be interested in ;-).
That is true...I'm not too sure at all. I guess my plan is just to see what's out there and what sounds cool to me. If you know of a few internships or jobs, I'd love to hear about them, 0xdefec8 at gmail dot com Much appreciated, thank you!
