A noteworthy event for folks interested in numerology, or just plain odd things, occured in the U.S. last night. At 1:02 AM and three seconds on April 5, 2006, the time and date on digital clocks read 01-02-03-04-05-06. Cool, huh. Happens once a century. The world's atomic clock timekeepers got all excited. I must confess that I slept through it nonetheless. The rest of the world, which uses the day/month/year format, can enjoy the event on the 4th of May. You can check out the USNO master clock here - home of the Official source of time for the U.S. Department of Defense.
