Here’s a story i’ve been sitting on for half a year — and now it seems everybody else is posting it without asking me first 
. On New Year’s Eve, at 23:59:59 UTC we will have an extra second to celebrate when only the coolest and most atomic, NTP’ed clocks will show the rather funky reading 23:59:60. The last leap second was on new year’s eve 1998-99 but then i wasn’t exactly blogging yet (but i was at Taj Mahal, India, which must count for some coolness).
NPL Time Metrology has the truth (and so does Wikpedia, unless you are of the suing kind, and Physorg).
