• There’s a great link on

    There’s a great link on SlashDot this morning by a guy who’s been stringing along a couple of Nigerian spammers. It’s being updated in (or near to) real time — quick, follow this link before he gets busted for faking James T. Kirk’s passport and sending the scans to Nigeria!

  • On Saturday, Kate and

    On Saturday, Kate and I hid a Geocache on Fox Island, which is a steep almost-island connected to the shore by a narrow isthmus. Kate and I parked our rented jeep in the town of Champney’s West, and walked up the rocky path, meeting lots of dogs and berry pickers on the way. The first…

  • The House on Bar Point

    The House on Bar Point The house where Kate and I are staying is on a spit of land called “Doctor’s Point” by the locals. My stepmother, Risa Benson, bought the land in in the late sixties, and various family members have contributed to the construction of the house. My brother Sam Benson, he of…

  • Thursday was grey and rainy;

    Thursday was grey and rainy; Kate and I visited the Trinity Loop amusement park. Half gravel pit, half miniature train ride, half garden-gnome repository, in the rain it’s like a minigolf course designed by Ingmar Bergman. I took a couple of pictures; here they are!

  • Skerwink hike

    Kate and I took a hike on Skerwink yesterday, which is the arm of land that forms the northern boundary of Trinity Harbor. You can see some photos here! (You might have to sign in or register with Ofoto to see the pictures.)

  • Wedding pictures, hurrah!

    Wedding pictures, hurrah! Kate and I made it to the house in Newfoundland this afternoon, unlimbered the laptop, and discovered that there are wedding pictures online! I’m now going to post links to the pictures. Which is one step away from putting pictures of your cat online, I know, but I’ve already done that, anyway.…

  • “In the presence of God, and these our friends…”

    In a surge of absolutely glorious weather (bookended on either side by cool, rainy days), Kate and I got married at Downingtown Friends Meeting. On the way to Northbrook and back, I had been repeating my vows over and over again in my helmet, hoping that I wouldn’t forget my line: In the presence of…

  • Yaay, the weather’s beautiful (so far!)

    Yesterday, the day of the rehearsal, was cool and drizzly, which was acceptable (it’s better than baking hot), but not ideal. Today, the morning of the wedding, has dawned sunny and cool — the weather says there’s going to be a high of 75. Hurrah! Chester County looks really, really beautiful in this kind of…

  • Shucks, I have the bestest co-workers in the world

    Shucks, I have the bestest co-workers in the world! My Outlook calendar spawned a meeting request several days ago: “catchup and discuss HTML process debrief”, which turned out to be a totally unexpected wedding surprise lunch-and-champagne-and-dessert thing. Kieran even baked a cake! My co-workers are the best, as proved in the completely candid and non-posed…
