Strange Assembly is super-proud to announce a new addition to the Strange Assembly family. Literally. Mrs. Strange Assembly gave birth to Sophia Stevenson over the weekend, bringing me one white picket fence* and one half of a child away from some manner of 1950s image of suburban utopia. Mother and baby are doing well. One imagines that updates will be rather limited this week (although I see that Jay already has the next Hack the Planet article queued up – hooray!).

* Mrs. Strange Assembly has already insisted that the yard get a fence – something about the children not wandering into the road. It will not, however, be white or have pickets.
