How to use 'find' to search for files created on a specific date?

Jeromy Anglim wrote a tutorial about this, as late as today. The essence of which is to use -newerXY and ! -newerXY: Example: To find all files modified on the 7th of June, 2006:

$ find . -type f -newermt 2007-06-07 ! -newermt 2007-06-08

To find all files accessed on the 29th of september, 2008:

$ find . -type f -newerat 2008-09-29 ! -newerat 2008-09-30

Or, files which had their permission changed on the same day:

$ find . -type f -newerct 2008-09-29 ! -newerct 2008-09-30

If you don't change permissions on the file, 'c' would normally correspond to the creation date, though.
