I love a news headline that will brighten a day. That will put a spring in my step. That will make me leap with joy for the little things — the teensy, weensy things. The ones that make life worth living, as ridiculous or silly as they might seem. Like when I read that magnetic strips on credit cards are going away. JOYYYYY! To be replaced with embedded microchips. Visa is moving in that direction. The reason? Security, of course. But I could give a rotted melon about that. Nor the time saved or the convenience. For me, the reason to switch — the ONLY reason — is quite simply this: no more embarrassment.
