[Edu-sig] Fwd: more PR for the __ribs__ mnemonic vis-a-vis "special names"

[kirby urner]

Below: some followup from Google Plus, to my little videos.  Joe Snyder is
a retired veterinarian and fellow Friend (Quaker) whom I see at our Meeting
("church") sometimes.

Here's a blog post with all three videos, for anyone interested:

Also, I've been promoting edu-sig on python-cuba-wg, the connection being
somewhat tenuous:  when I held a competition around Python and generating
Pi to a thousand places, way back in 2011, a student at University of
Havana won.

Now here we are in 2015, revisiting yet another way to converge to Pi,
thanks to this generator we talked about last month.

So nice pictures, but I'm clueless about the lesson.  Thanks for trying.
Curious that after your presentation, it wants to show me a lot of yucky
videos of various large snakes attacking and eating things.  Hmmmm

Yeah, Youtube tends to be sensationalist around snakes.  The computer
language was named for Monty Python (which was named for?).

However, as shown, I take good advantage of snake anatomy by inventing
__ribs__ as terminology for what in the language we call "special name"
(they have this underline thing going, two __ on each side).

The three videos, each < 5 mins, form a triptych.  Maybe enlightenment will
come somewhere in the middle. :-D

Great to have an animal vet check my presentation on Python __ribs__,
couldn't ask for a better form of peer review, even if it's hard to make
head or tail, coming into it cold.

(I was asked to audition by a commercial training provider: "Don't
over-think it, type and talk at the same time, no editing".  Having done
one, I couldn't resist tying off some loose ends).
