CoffeeScript 1.7 is shaping up to be a pretty kick-ass release with significant improvements. Here are the ones I'm most excited about, in order of my own excitement.

Parentheses-free chaining

Heil PR40 Package - http://www.bswusa.com/Dynamic-Microphones-Heil-Sound-PR40-Package-P7628.aspx

This is a great deal, and is a perfect mic for this stuff.

OC White Boom - http://www.ocwhite.com/broadcast-arms/proboomtm-elite-extended-reach-mic-arm-with-riser-45-reach-12-vertical-riser.html

The kit comes with a boom. It is decent, I guess, but this OC White boom is badass prostyle with a 4' reach and a 15" riser that lets it live behind my monitor.

"""
Two things are wrong with Django's default `SECRET_KEY` system:

1. It is not random but pseudo-random
2. It saves and displays the SECRET_KEY in `settings.py`

This snippet
1. uses `SystemRandom()` instead to generate a random key
2. saves a local `secret.txt`
