5 THINGS: Almost Friday! Almost The Weekend!

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Thursday, April 11, 2013:

“It is not strange to mistake change for progress.” – Millard Fillmore. Here are today’s government meetings:

• The Narragansett Historical Cemetary Commission meets at 5 p.m.
• The Narragansett Municipal Court meets at 6 p.m.
• The South Kingstown Planning Board meets at 7 p.m.

Mmm, delicious vegetables and produce! Goose Pond Farm of West Kingston is offering community supported agriculture accounts from this season to Dec. 31. For more info, click here.

Has the time or date or details of one of your events changed? If you posted the event yourself on our site, then remember – You can always change the details if you’re logged into your Patch account. Failing that, leave a comment on the item in question! The issue is that lately, people have been e-mailing me, and depending on the time of the day, it can take me anywhere from 30 minutes or 30 hours to get to the item, unfortunately. As a result, I encourage you all to be as proactive as possible!

Oh no! Maybe there seriously aren’t that many events today, given that it’s the day of birth of English organist John Alcock. As a result, our events calendar for today is a bit barren. If you’re having an event, please let us know in the comments. Also, make sure it isn’t left out in the future – Submit it via this link (as long as you’re logged into your Patch account).

Sign up for our daily newsletter! Hey, I realize we have a lot of neat features and knick-knacks on the site, so it can be confusing to keep up with it all. Want just one simple, easy to read daily digest? Sign up for our e-mail newsletter here then. It comes out between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. roughly, every single day of the week. Amazing, I know.

The least historically significant day ever, at least according to a computer. Based on the True Knowledge / Evi Answer Engine, this day in 1954 was the least significant day, historically, since 1900.

Nerd alert – Her voice work in video games is pretty great. Happy 39^th birthday to Tricia Helfer! You probably know her from her role on Battlestar Galactica, if anything, but of course I’m a nerd level deeper on her, only really knowing her from Starcraft 2 and EDI, the artificial intelligence from Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3.
