A couple pics that my brother sent from his iPhone at my parents, one of the "mona" or traditional Easter cake in Catalonia, and another one of my dad with Elisabet.

Tons of Spaniards
In the streets of NYC these past few days, Easter Holiday, with the strong Euro. My friend Pep sent this article that talks about it, 37% increase in tourism from Spain last year, and it's increasing again this year.
Me lo llevo!

Safari + JavaScript 2.0
Forgot to mention that earlier this week I was surprised when the iTunes update engine on my Windows desktop popped up and said it had a new "update", which was the Safari browser. And the box was checked by default. Tsk, tsk, kind of evil, Apple getting very aggressive. I am sure they will catch so flag for it, although way less than if MS did it.
In other geeky news, I saw that JavaScript 2.0 (i.e. ECMAScript Edition 4) is finally under development. Ecma is targeting end of the year to finalize the standard. As you may already know, Ecma is responsible for many other standards, including ISO9660, the C# language specification, the C++ language speficification, or CLI. You can read more about it on Ecma's site. It's work in progress, you can download an overview of what's been proposed so far as a PDF.
The coolest thing I saw is the introduction of actual classes and interfaces, that's very nice and quite a major change. Also, no more primitives (wrappers will be provided for backward compatibility). Many other nice additions, like constants or compile time type checking, etc., check it out.
/* JavaScript 1.x "Class" Definition*/
function Foo() {
this.a = "a";
this.b = "b";
}
var myFoo = new Foo(); // class instantiation
/* JavaScript 2.0 Class Definition */
class Bar {
this.a = "a";
this.b = "b";
}
var myBar = new Bar(); // class instantiation
Saturday late March
We had a cool work party Thu evening at Red Sky, food and drinks. I stopped in around 9ish and stayed for a few hours. Most people had some difficulties at the office Fri morning 
. Yesterday was Good Friday, all good. Been playing phone tag with Bill for a while, let's see if we connect and chat for a while. Met up for dinner w/ Nicole last night, we went to a place in the East Village we've gone several other times before, near her place.
Went to Duane this morning, a need this 60W lighbulb for the restroom, but they only had the 40W version. Will have to try CVS, and if they don't have it, head to Home Depot.
Gotta eat and do a few errands this afternoon.
