Today's my birthday :-). Probably one of the best in my life so far, though I can't really tell you why (yet).
Here are some links, and several of them are really bizarre. The camera one at the top is amazing, and the visa one at the bottom is definitely one of the strangest news items I've ever read in my life. (If you think the US is efficient, just have a look at that story!)
I hope everybody else is having as much fun as I am. Happy ides of
March!
Mark
