Since 1979 (before I was born), the new year has only landed on a Monday four times before yesterday. See these instances above and then see my thoughts on said years 'after the jump' ...

One of the more nonsensical and completely inconvenient design changes to a major website of late is the fact that you can't configure embeds smoothly within YouTube anymore. Nevermind the fact that I have to click twice just to access the full iframe code, but you previously could enter your desired width and have the code automatically updated to reflect the proper ratio. Now I'm whipping out the calculator app to do some aspect ratio b.s. to make it look right. UN-ACCEPTABLE. And just look at how ugly that crap (⬆︎) is in general. I hate it.
