[CentralOH] Austin's Thing Of the Month Challenge - RAWR!!!!!!

[Austin Godber]

Ok, I was hoping only a single mail would elicit a response.

Today's suggested Thing of the Month is JSON:

http://docs.python.org/library/json.html

Any takers today?  C'mon ... look at all the arguments to .dumps!
 Seriously, someone should explain this!  "check_circular"?  Thats worth at
least one diameter/radius/pi joke.  How can you guys pass this up?

I won't send daily emails since that would be TOO annoying.  I am trying to
seek the _perfect_ level of annoying.
