Catching up with a load of good stuff from over the weekend:

• Adrian Holovaty, creator of Django and EveryBlock, gets a profile in the Chicago Tribune. “I’m just amazed at how much the news industry does because other people are doing it,” he says. “There’s no sense of individuality or entrepreneurship.”
• Two interesting points from Pete Cashmore of Mashable: (1) how do natural introverts fit into the growing wave of online media sharing?; and (2) get your Twitter manga face here.
• Back to the journalism side for Scott Rosenberg’s essay on rustling up readers and Jeff Jarvis’ thoughts on how editors should adapt to changes in their environment.
