Today's post is dedicated to all our American readers (who, if Google Analytics is to be believed, make up roughly half of the visitors to our blog).

We are watching the unfolding of your elections with keen interest - the outcome will certainly impact us, and the rest of the world too. Our wish is that today would herald a new era, and a change that we can believe in. ;-)

So if you haven't already, do go and cast your vote, and help make a little bit of history.
