Logo Links

Some stuff to get back to for from a cursory search on whether Logo is still out there:

what a gui for this looks like:

more than just logo:

Here's the google search. Every link on here looks good:

Windows Line Feeds

To code windows line feeds in python ascii output files, use "\r\n".

some clues, but not the answer:

Wiffing around the problem in the python docs:

An apparently ignored proposal to make things "universal" in python:

A problem with just using \r:

Everythng I need to know about Yo Gabba Gabba

Awesome show. Four seasons so far. Wikipedia presently has a good history of the origin of the show:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yo_Gabba_Gabba!

Also, a nice summary of Lance Robertson's story:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Lance_Rock

The best origin story article that I've found so far, sort of ties everything I've seen in other sources all together:

Info about the live show, or it would be if it wasn't so polluted with flash and other crap that I can't even read the site:

http://www.yogabbagabbalive.com/

The fan site "gabbafriends" is utterly cool, just a huge list of peoples' personal stories going to the live shows or having YGG themed birthday parties:
