Infocenter project

For the past several months I've been chipping away on a RPi project to build an always-on, graphical information and media center that is elegant enough to display in the home or office.  The result, so far, provides weather, time, calendar, alarms, hourly chime and internet radio functions accessed using a touch-screen or keyboard.  Here are a couple of screenshots of the current implementation:

The code for this is written in Python 2.7 using Pygame and is available on GitHub. This project has been a great learning experience, covering a variety of disciplines that stretched my skills set.  I plan on blogging different aspects of the build and sharing what I've learned.  Can't say that I'm a master at any them, but the result meets my satisfaction.  I hope you'll find something of interest here as well.
