I have been geeking out on historical maps lately. worldhistorymaps.info is a treasure trove.

Just discovered this fantastic blog that covers Seattle history.

At 38th and Densmore, in Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood. Here, the plants and flowers reach in, into and over the sidewalk, and it turns into something fun — a cozy vegetal carnival ride. For pedestrians.

Fascinating little post from my friend Ian about Jack London’s mother: http://newpsalmanazar.wordpress.com/2010/06/30/flora-wellman/

Here are a few songs I’ve found particularly enjoyable over the past few months.

Thanks Doug for the introduction to The Dodos.

I’ve been wanting to get back into blogging again (was active in 2006 - 2007) but have been dragging my feet. I’m going to give tumblr a try and see how it works for me.
