Happy Chinese New Year 2009!

新年快乐!

And this year's CNY is pretty strategically positioned to give a ultra long weekend! So that makes almost everyone happy except for the masochists and sadists.

If you happen to have nothing to do on this first day of CNY, why not try looking out for the partial eclipse (maximum at 1749)? On a side note, eclipses are often considered bad omen in ancient China... I wonder how the superstitious will regard this day.
