    If you’re comfortable with the terminal, try out the following cool BSD-like trick on your OS X machine:

    more /usr/share/calendar/calendar.* | grep `date +”%m/%d”`

    Suddenly, you have your own “This Day in History.” It gives a synopsis, for the day, of important events — holidays, famous birthdays, etc. Today’s output wasn’t that inspiring, but who knows what tomorrow will bring!
