The day-after the "big" day

I turned 30 yesterday.

A whole day has passed since I left my 20s. They say it is a big day. They say it is a dreaded day. It was neither. Just busy (which is good).

I chanced upon [Douglas Adams’ post][1] from 1999:

> 1. everything that’s already in the world when you’re born is just normal;
> 2. anything that gets invented between then and before you turn thirty is incredibly exciting and creative and with any luck you can make a career out of it;
> 3. anything that gets invented after you’re thirty is against the natural order of things and the beginning of the end of civilisation as we know it until it’s been around for about ten years when it gradually turns out to be alright really.
> Apply this list to movies, rock music, word processors and mobile phones to work out how old you are.
