North Bend is a small town about a half-hour’s drive from Seattle, perhaps best known as one of the cities which provided shooting locations for the cult television show Twin Peaks.

Earlier this month, the police blotter revealed another intrigue brewing in the quiet town of North Bend:

Friday, March 3

Confusion: At 12:25 p.m., police were called to the 500 block of E North Bend Way, North Bend, to address a claim of identity theft. When police arrived, the caller said that someone was trying to steal his birthright to the Irish royal throne. Police determined there was no crime and cleared the scene.

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
