The art of bubble-smithing

This is an amazing video of the "bubble-smith" Sterling Johnson on Stinson Beach blowing enormous bubbles. A lot of people believe it to be fake but apparently Sterling Johnson is a fairly well know bubble-smith.

Yes, it's got a bit of Django in it

     
I've been working on this mystery project for just a few days and it is already looking fairly decent. I've been very impressed with the power and speed of developing with Django, and I love the Python syntax. If you're curious I'm also using the Google Visualizations API, the Google Maps API (may integrate MapBox later on) and a bit of jQuery here and there.
