The Boston Diaries

The ongoing saga of a programmer who doesn't live in Boston, nor does he even like Boston, but yet named his weblog/journal “The Boston Diaries.”

Go figure.

Extreme tourism, Cashiers, North Carolina edition

The Marginalia Search Engine is such a cool search engine. It's like visiting the web in the 90s with the quirky personal sites with ugly designs and no advertising. Try out some random sites.

Very cool.

While there, I decided to see what results it had for Brevard, NC and boy, some of the results are incredible. I did not know that Cashiers, North Carolina is a hotbed of UFO activity. Had I know, I might have tried looking for an alien license plate at (what is now) the Cashiers Valley Smokehouse. Although, had we delayed our 2015 visit to Brevard to mid-November, we might have seen an actual UFO!

Darn our luck!

Obligatory Miscellaneous

You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go ahead, I won't bite. I promise.

The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent links to that entry only. The format for the links are simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are interested in, say 2000/08/01, so that would make the final URL:

https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01

You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.

You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that important.

It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name, symbol, design element, et cetera mentioned in these pages is a protected and/or trademarked entity, the sole property of its owner(s), and acknowledgement of this status is implied.
