BOTO: You might spot these men

It’s Presidents’ Day (yeh, they merged George and Abe into one entity in 1968*) weekend, so Be on the Lookout for these two tourists. If spotted, do not approach. They hate being asked for autographs. Best hunting grounds: the Early Bird Specials.

*This I did not know. AI tells me: the Uniform Monday Holiday Act of 1968 moved several federal holidays, including Washington’s Birthday, to a Monday to create more three-day weekends.
Abraham Lincoln’s Birthday, on the other hand, is celebrated on February 12th, but it is not a federal holiday. Some states, like Illinois, California, and New York, observe Lincoln’s Birthday as a state holiday, but it is not widely observed across the United States.

    In my Beijing talk with help from the Sarasota Technology Users Group I also showed George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, only they spoke to the audience in Beijing. This will be a new kind of e-book that lets readers meet and talk to people in books.
