Sometime between June 23rd and June 24th, I thought this stuff was interesting. You might think so too!
- June 24, 1947: They Came From … Outer Space?: Pilot Kenneth Arnold sights a series of unidentified flying objects near Washington's Mt. Rainier. It's the first widely reported UFO sighting in the United States, and, thanks to Arnold's description of what he saw, leads [to] the term flying saucer.
- Bob Dylan On Abraham Lincoln: Tracing the origin of Bob Dylan's Abraham Lincoln quote: "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool ALL of the people ALL of the time."
- Ten Big New Features in Mac OS X Snow Leopard: There's a bunch of pretty high-level (Low-level? Technical bits.) geek stuff in here, but it's a nice overview of what's coming with Snow Leopard. The slimming down of apps is impressive.
- Neighborhoods Map – Neighborhoods Program – City of Kent, Washington: Oddly, Kent doesn't seem to be as well divided into discrete neighborhoods: there's just Kent, and a few small areas within designated as neighborhoods. Our new apartment isn't in any of them, so I guess we don't get a neighborhood?
- Seattle City Clerk’s Neighborhood Map Atlas: I use this a lot when tagging images I upload to Flickr. Click on a larger region to zoom in to more precise neighborhood boundaries.
