Over on its Facebook page, the Decatur Beer Fest is looking for name suggestions for their “quirky Viking”.  Whatcha got?

Ryan sends in this announcement…

For the first time in the history of the AJC Decatur Book Festival Presented by DeKalb Medical (AJC DBF), kids will get their own version of a keynote address—a Kidnote. Nationally renowned performer and children’s author Jose-Luis Orozco will take attendees on a journey through Latin American culture, history, and oral traditions with an energetic and interactive concert Friday, August 31, at 4 p.m. in Presser Hall at Agnes Scott College. This special event for families is free and open to the public and no ticket is required. Seating is first come, first served.

Christie sends in this pic of some “loose chickens behind vacant lot corner of Mead and College.”

I’m really unsure about whether I’ve ever posted this before, but this Flickr/Twitter map of Atlanta is still pretty cool. Tweets are in blue, Flickr posts are in orange and where both occur are white.  Note the distinct patterns for Hartsfield-Jackson airport, Stone Mountain, Piedmont Park and downtown Decatur.

These maps are courtesy of Eric Fischer, who posted a bunch of these maps for many of the worlds major cities on Flickr.

The North America map is pretty interesting as well.  Lots to say east of the Mississippi and lots more to see west of it.
