What comes once every 4 years, is eagerly anticipated country - even world - wide, and gives us a glimmer of hope for a better tomorrow?
The US presidential election, of course! Oh, wait. Sorry. That was for an entirely separate blog post…
Leap Year Day, February 29th, of course! February, normally the shortest month of the year, on leap years remains still the shortest month of the year only one day less short. If only all planetary orbital time adjusting could be this fun!
And so, to help all you folks caught off-guard with this extra day and wondering how to fill it, we in Computing Services have been saving up a truckload-full of interesting links, news, articles, and general internet hoohaa to help make this rarest of February days that much more fun.
