For the past two years, I've been having a blast second-shooting weddings for the awesome Wandering Albatross Photography.  Last summer, I got to shoot Katherine and Christopher's wedding in Helena, Montana.

Here are some of my favorite shots from that day.

The EcmaScript 5 standard (section 15.1.3.4) and the Mozilla Developer Network page on encodeURIComponent both say that the string will be encoded to UTF-8, regardless of the underlying page's character set. That seemed entirely too convenient to believe, so I wrote a page that would let me exercise it. I hit it with modern browsers as well as Firefox 2 and Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6. Amazingly, they handled it correctly, even for pages in obscure character sets like GBK.

 Sleep well tonight in the knowledge that your characters are safe in hands of encodeURIComponent.

Backpacking!

• Stillwater Valley (4 days, 26 miles)
• Granite Peak Attempt (2 days, 20 miles)
• Glacier National Park Transit (6 days, 70 miles)
• Lava Lake Family Trip (2 days, 7 miles)
• Garnet Peak Lookout (2 days, 8 miles)

Total: 16 days, ~120 miles

It was a good summer. (Apologies for the painfully white guy in the pictures.)
