Kate and I will be getting married in two weeks, in a Quaker ceremony at Downingtown Friends Meeting. She’ll be making a stylish entrance in the car pictured on the right, a 1962 Austin-Healy 3000 Mark II. (more pictures of a similar car.)

I bought a new Fred Perry shirt, as my collection of boxy, short-sleeved HTMLer shirts was getting threadbare. Also, some soap. Kate bought a purse. We visited the Macintosh store/event…

Admirable Lists of Life Accomplishments: (or just Life Accomplishments So Far): Rhett Creighton Hugh Gallagher Doctor Ho Jeremy Fain, Kieran Downes and I are all putting our lists of life accomplishments together to see how they measure up.
