Šťastné narozeniny!

Scott MacMillan's blog is one year old tomorrow. So drop by and wish it a happy birthday. If you're German, though, you'd better wait till midnight. (For bewildered non-Germans: some Germans seem to have a superstitious aversion to giving birthday greetings in advance of the event.)

And you'll find Scott's latest international news round-up on Slate.

UPDATE: actually it seems that it is Scott's blog's birthday today. So, Germans can be easy in their minds.
