William, forgive my late reply as I was away for a bit. I like the idea 
of being able to stand inside a computer! I've had experience working on 
mainframes that I suppose fit that bill, but nothing like that lately :-)

I'm excitied to hear you like python and would encourage you to checkout 
writing some automated tests. We use a tool called autopilot, and the 
tool and tests are written in python. Do hop on IRC and ping balloons. 
I'd love to chat more about how you can help!
