Newburyport is home to the Yo Yo Guy and Gal. We caught part of their act at the street performer’s festival, and Yo Yo Guy took advantage of me photographing his act to have some fun.

In the weeks ahead (I’d say days if I weren’t so busy/lazy), I’ll be integrating my technology Weblog, nerd.newburyportion, back into the main Web site. It will still be focused on technology/programming issues, but it will feel like a part of the overall newburyportion Web site.
