Duels.com
Launched in Q4, Duels is a seriously addictive online fantasy dueling game where players collect items to kit out their characters and challenge each other to a battle shadow fight style. I came across it via TechCrunch and now can't stop signing in for a ...

It's on!
Leo writes about his experience porting Django to Jython and there's a thread on the django-developers group too.
