Nice project! A few years ago I hacked together a python IMDB API to help me cheat err... 'practice' for a trivia game: https://github.com/dpiers/pymdb Last I checked it still worked, surprising since I was just scraping html. :)

I stayed at a hostel in the Tenderloin when I was in town for a conference last year. Walked to/from Moscone with my $2k MBP in a Timbuk2 bag every day. Never had any trouble, not even when I was walking back at 1AM and fairly intoxicated.
