New Years Eve this year is going to be fun. There is a leap second being added on 31\/Dec\/2005 at the end of the day. That means that the final minute of the year will be 61 seconds long. What does that mean for us? Well, not a lot. You see, it is added at UTC (Commonly known as GMT) and this is out by 10 hours. So there will be a second added just before 10:00AM on 1\/1\/2006. <\/p>\n
Uncommon Goods have some cute items on sale. One of the cutest is a necklace made from an old credit card<\/a>. The effect is quite amazing, thanks to the clear glass top on the pendant. I managed to see this linked to from Boing Boing I think. My compliments to the designer. The site contains a lot of other cute items for sale too. <\/p>\n There are lots of people who add content to Google to make a point. For instance if you search for a word like incompenent or worthless you get a picture of George W Bush. So it should come as no surprise then that a Radio show in the USA has offered $10K for the first person to put a sign on their home <\/a> saying hello to the presenter of the radio show. The Register is also offering merchandise if that person advertises The Register!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" New Years Eve this year is going to be fun.
