towel day anyone??

Towel Day is an annual celebration on the 25th of May, as a tribute to the late author Douglas Adams (1952-2001).
On that day, fans around the universe carry a towel in his honor.

Would have done if I'd known about it, but it is already 26th here.

Don't panic!
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
