Some of you might be interested in a few news bits today:

and

What's even cooler than the fact that you can now load up an ipython notebook that runs sandboxed in your Chrome browser is that because Matt is the one compiling all these python tools into the Chrome app, we went ahead and included a very recent version of yt 3.0!  

Then we went a bit further, and baked in thingking (https://bitbucket.org/zeropy/thingking) and some DarkSky tools, so when you put it all together now anyone and everyone can access data from the DarkSky simulations. If you install the chrome app 

(https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/colaboratory-notebook/pianggobfjcgeihlmfhfgkfalopndooo) then check out some examples:

We (Matt, Mike Warren, and I) would love to hear feedback if you try things out. I expect there will some growing pains with the interface, but we're all pretty excited about finally getting this out.  Congrats to Matt and the Chrome/Jupyter teams!

Cheers,

Sam
