I am Judy Anderson, yclept yduJ. yduJ rhymes with fudge, and is always capitalized as above, even at the start of a sentence.

A brief history: I've been on the information superhighway since it was a goat track.

Oh my god I'm a mother! How did that happen? Not only that, I seem to be maintaining the website for the local MOMS Club! Eek. How domestic!

Even more domestically, I decided to store my recipes online. Bon appetit! (Maybe I shouldn't have, because many of them are uncredited, and I stole them from somewhere, but copied them here for convenience. Some are original creations, though, and some are in fact credited.)

On occasion, I write up interesting experiences I've had. In addition to these below I'm highlighting, I have a number of vacation travelogues.

In 1994 I served on the Grand Jury in Massachusetts, and in 2000 on a trial jury.
I've been driving electric cars for over a decade.
In 1999 I went to see polar bears in the arctic.
In 2004 we built a sea wall at our house, and in 2006 we built an interior plexiglass wall.

I've even been published!

I have an article in the book wired_women.
I appear a number of times in The Unix-Haters Handbook

I've also written a lot of MOO documentation.

Everyone's favorite is the Wind-Up Duck Tutorial.
The MOO Lore Pamphlet is for a more advanced audience.

My housemate Valerie wrote a poem for my late cat, Frankie (RIP March 1998). Sadly, my longest living cat, Mottle, who was the best cat on the planet, is no longer with us (RIP 9/13/03). I had gotten a "backup cat", Squeak, but unfortunately she also failed to stay out of the road (RIP 9/17/02). I was catless for about 9 months until I got a new cat named Tilly, but unfortunately she didn't work out. I found a new home for her, and then in March 2006 ended up with two more new kitties, Tawny and Chloe. September is a bad month for cats. Tawny was hit by a car after only six months (RIP 9/21/06).

Valerie also wrote up our Winter Solstice ritual.

Before I had kids, I used to have non-net hobbies as well, including Western Square Dancing and sailing on my housemate's trimaran.

No page is complete without pictures.

In 1995, we took this picture of the trimaran (docked in Bermuda).
In 2001, the trimaran reflects the water in Lake Ontario.
A picture of me on the water, perhaps 1996.
A random shot of me taken in 1993.
Another photo of me taken for the company Lotus Notes database, in 1997.
A photo of our house.

My former housemate Tim has a journal in which he has photos of me and other housemates and our house, among other things.
