    Who's with me? :)    Question is - how does one get a "Day" started and make it a regular occurrence?    And how do we keep ourselves from trying to have more than one day?   :laugh:    Peace!

                1. Pick a date 2. Create a Web site Once it's on the Internets, no one can dispute that it's a real holiday. Software Developers FTW :-D

                  There was an article on Wickipedia last year about Programmer's Day - the 256th day of the year. Unfortunately, there was a bunch of arguing about the posting and it ended up being deleted. The programmers in my office are going to go out to lunch - just a small celebration for ourselves!

                      You can get cheap cards for as little as 99c. Most are in the $4-6 range, but that price is spread over lots of middle men in addition to the store and the company who printed it.
