Harper Elise Weekly was born Thursday, 2008.06.19 @12:44pm, weighing exactly 8 lbs and measuring 19 inches head to toe.
She’s perfect, beautiful, already nursing like a champ. Shawna’s doing great. We’re home now and I hope to have photos up later this weekend.
Abi says “sisser” [sister] and “Hoppa” [Harper] and “bee-bee” [baby] and is eager to touch and kiss her new sister.
It’s surreal to be doing this again, but so far so good.
Thanks to everyone for all the love and support, and a special thanks to Steve and Lauren who house- and baby-sat for 5 days(!) while we were gone.

From Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs:
Underlying our approach to this subject is our conviction that “computer science” is not a science and that its significance has little to do with computers. The computer revolution is a revolution in the way we think and in the way we express what we think. The essence of this change is the emergence of what might best be called procedural epistemology — the study of the structure of knowledge from an imperative point of view, as opposed to the more declarative point of view taken by classical mathematical subjects. Mathematics provides a framework for dealing precisely with notions of “what is.” Computation provides a framework for dealing precisely with notions of “how to.”

This is a few days delayed, I’ve been (and still am) very busy, but I wanted to record my excitement and relief at Obama’s securing of the nomination. Fist-bumps all around to everyone who’s been supporting him. On to defeat McBush in the Fall….
