Geogrammatically speaking, I think not. According to my world clock, it's now Saturday AM in Sydney, AU, whereas it's still Friday AM in Boston, MA, MA.
Errr... there has been a heat wave in South Australia.
Quote:
Australia's south-east is still enduring a massive heatwave, with Adelaide reaching 45.5 degrees Celsius early this afternoon.
The Bureau of Meteorology says some country towns are even hotter, with 46.2C recorded at Ceduna on the Eyre Peninsula.
To those in the Nth Hemisphere, enjoying the season known as 'Winter', this is 114F. In Australia this is known as 'fucken hot mate'!! The wabbit may be a little heat-stressed...
"Some benevolent companies offered to let their employees leave early, but in a rare exhibition of presenteeism in January, workers decided to linger in their air-conditioned offices rather than take their chances on the baking streets below."
Mind you, it's ridiculously hot here, too. Blazing sun and 64ยบ in the shade. Of course, the trees are bare at the moment so there isn't much shade to be had. Can't do much but sweat it out, either outdoors in the sun or else indoors next to the woodstove.
I believe I joined abuzz in the winter of 1999. If memory serves me correctly it too was through a NYTimes link. I believe I remember a lot of people were worried how the so called Y2K bug would affect the Abuzz servers.
Then I moved onto Les Anarchistes Artistiques, the small independent art community run by Thedivaden, sometime after my 30th birthday.
