I listened to the morning news on the radio half-awake. It seemed improbably that there would be so many news stories which vaguely piqued my interest - the radio station is very superficial when it comes to news. But there were. And then there were more when I started reading about them...

• The world's first color quarter is launched today in Canada.
  
• The TTC will finally issue week passes - starting in May.
  
• Canada Post's new international security rules mean that international mail addressed to an incomplete name, such as Aunt Mary, will be refused at the border.
  
• In other news, the British Invention Show is now on: go vote for your favorite invention here.
