Rarely, someone asks, "Like, Lovelace?" but everyone loves it. She's making us proud by totally hacking her four-year-old world, and oh, yes, we will be celebrating Ada Day. My daughter is named Ada.

I've got two nieces and I'm waiting for them to get a little older so we can start doing maker types of things.
