Happy Leap Day Everyone

As they say leap year only comes along every 4 years as a way to align the world back to the calendar.  It is somewhat of a compromise for the imperfect science known as the universe.

While I chug away reviewing new hardware in the Ninjalane Labs I wondered.  How many times have I posted on February 29th over the entire 20 years this website has been live.

In terms of news, there have been a total of 3 posts.  The first was in 2004 which is a year after I first attended Computex.  The second was 2008 when I would post NL: Review Blocks to help share the articles and reviews that other hardware sites were posting.  

The final post was in 2012 with a posting about the Gigabyte Battlefield 3 cup which was an online competition with a grand prize of 1200 USD!!

An interesting side note, in 2012 I started two reviews.  The SilenX EFZ-120HA5 Heatsink Review and Silverstone ST1200-G Strider Gold Evolution Power Supply Review were started on 2/29/2012 and posted within a day of each other.  

It would seem that after 2012 I didn't post anything on Leap Day, until now.  There have been 2664 news posts since 2/29/2012 and while that may seem like a lot it works out to be less than 1 post a day.  I have to say, I'm a little disappointed in that number but, it has been a great ride even though very few readers stop by to read the news anymore.

Happy Leap Year everyone!  Enjoy your extra day in 2020 and I hope the rest of the year is wonderful.
