Fröliche Weinachten
Merry Christmas, a few days late, to all my friends, readers, countrymen. And, to all my Eastern Orthodox readers: Merry Christmas season.
Things have been busy 'round these parts — since Kate wasn't allowed out of the house, my family came over to celebrate Christmas in shifts, with my brother and sister-in-law followed by sister [...]
Kate Update
Kate was discharged from the hospital on Friday afternoon, much to the relief of my wife, Will and myself. She's doing very well — she has gained back all most all of the weight she lost while sick according to the pediatricians at her follow-up appointment this morning.

Leo and Randal had a developer on who was promoting Seaside, a web development framework for Smalltalk (particularly the Squeak [...]
New T-Shirt Designs
I've dropped the hammer on a couple of new t-shirt designs, available immediately over at gear.literalbarrage.org. The idea for the shirt ("Don't Tickle Me, Bro!") sprang forth from a lunchtime conversation last week and I'm pretty psyched with how they look.
Now, let's see if I 1) avoid getting my products taken down by Zazzle [...]
