I’ve been on a bit of a maths binge recently, and either of Hannah Fry’s books (“The Mathematics of Love”, “Hello World”) she reads both of them herself and does it well.

Landowner David Hampton planted larch pines in a Douglas fir forest in Oregon in the shape of a giant, 300 feet smiley face 🙂

Every autumn, the larch pines turn orange, and the smiley face stands out.

As it's been 20 years since I made the original, I thought I'd recreate my "Monitor Slapping" GIF. Except now I'm slapping myself through time....

I keep seeing this article posted about how a place in the UK is eliminating apostrophes in street names to avoid database issues.

In Australia, we adopted a policy of doing exactly this, but way back in 1966. The only logical explanation here is that at some point an Australian DBA got their hands on a time machine.
