I’m certain Anna knows who this young lady is, but I don’t remember. There has been so much good music already in the first two days of Yankee Homecoming. We were walking by during her performance, and of course, we had to stop and listen. Update: Her name is Joy Sumberg.

I’ve decided to split the technology side of things from this web site into its own. I’ve dubbed the new site nerd.newburyportion. The first article is about debugging JavaScript applications using trace messages is up. I’d love to get some feedback.

For the last week or two, I’ve been working on a port of Apple’s Cocoa Bindings technology to DHTML. Up until yesterday, things have been going swimmingly: like the Objective-C implementation of Bindings, the JavaScript version just worked (the hallmark of most Apple technologies).

Both Anna and I soaked up some gloriously cool spring water in our bandanas to cool off.

Coming just a day or two after her ascent of Mt. Mansfield, Anna’s a little tired of all this climbing stuff. Actually, the Clara Bow trail, although labelled difficult on the map, was a whole lot of fun.

We returned from our Vermont Vacation earlier this afternoon. The kids were really happy to see us, and although we had fun, we were very happy to be home. I learned a couple valuable lessons on the trip: I don’t like being a passenger. I much prefer driving. Plus you really can’t see much from … We’re Back
