These are my links for June 1st through June 8th:

• bikeseattle.org: The Bikery offers Free Bicycle Maintenance Workshop – On Saturday, June 23rd, the Bikery is offering a free Bicycle Maintenance Workshop from 2-5pm at the Garfield Community Center in the Central District. Bring your bike and any needed parts; they’ll provide all tools, and will teach you how to use them.
• Dillard’s Cat – C. L Rawlins – “When a writer purports to reveal the wonders of nature while disregarding or distorting what happens, it upsets me…. Skill isn’t the whole of it: the reader deserves to know what cap the author is wearing, scout or sibyl, tracker or troubador.”
• Omniglot – a guide to the languages, alphabets, syllabaries and other writing systems of the world – Someday, I swear, I’ll get around to making that set of obscure alphabet blocks with characters from, say, the Glagolitic and Orkhon alphabets. (For values of “I swear” equivalent to “maybe”.) It’s only been on my list since 2002 or so, after all.
• Biofuel gangs kill for green profits – timesonline.co.uk – A surge in demand for biofuels derived from agricultural products has unleashed a chaotic land grab by a new breed of gangster entrepreneurs hoping to cash in on the world’s thirst for palm oil and related bioproducts.
• Metro Bus Hikes – Hikes in the Seattle area that you can reach by Metro and other public transit. No car needed! Includes a few such directions as, “Carefully cross the busy highway,” and, “Wait until no cars are visible, then scoot across the bridge as fast as you can!”
• NPR : Letting Leafy Greens into Your Life – Here’s what to do with that Swiss chard we’ve got in our garden.
