My Brother has a Show at DC's Cap Fringe Fest

My brother Shawn has written another cool musical piece for Cap
Fringe this year.

This is what the Washington Post had to say: (by Celia Wren)
... Ramble over to the funny and whip-smart science-fiction fable
"Power House: The Super-Ozone-Friendly-Happy-Disco-Energy-Techno-
Dance-Along Show." Mounted at the Source, and featuring nightclub
music, flashing colored lights, psychedelic projections and a
hilarious parody of a documentary, Shawn Northrip's creation
(directed by Shirley Serotsky) conjures up a dystopian future. The
global energy crisis has been solved by harnessing the kinesis of
dancers. But the technology leads to abuse: Power plants where evil
supervisors, such as Gus Stapo (Joe Pindelski), force drugged-up
victims to keep jiving.

JavaScript 2.0 in the Works

I just came across this document -- the description of the next version of JavaScript. Very geeky but very interesting -- it lays out the direction and new features of what's coming. I wonder how much of that will be implemented in upcoming versions of Dreamweaver?

Ich bin eine hausfrau

Kim goes back to work today and I will be taking care of Emilia for
the next 8 weeks.

I'm trying to work out how to be productive while I take care of her.
I can get some small things done while she sleeps, but timing and
duration of those naps are highly variable and unpredictable. At best
I'd get 90 minutes -- which really isn't enough to get into any solid
coding. I plan on taking the evenings after dinner and work until
midnight. I hope this will be the 3 to 4 hours stretch I'm looking for.

I suppose a benefit of working for my tiny little start-up is that I
can take the time I need and my boss is flexible about it (me :-). So
for the next 8 weeks I'm going to be a housewife. Maybe we'll watch a
little TV.
