Uncommon Birthdays? 45
Dolmen asks: "In few
days I will live my
10.000th day.
My last 'common' birthday was no fun at all, so I'm preparing something
special this time. I'm wondering what special uncommon date you, as
geeks, did already/plan to celebrate. What did you do for those special
dates that most ignore?" Hey, this is kinda cool. Maybe I'll do something
special for my 10-Gigasecond day, due to occur sometime in December, 2002.
What about the rest of you?

Let's see, 10 Gigaseconds, 10 000 000 000 seconds, divide with 60, 166666666,66~ minutes, divide with 60 again, 2777777,77~ hours, divide by 24, 115740,74~ days, divide by 365 and you get 317 years, holy crap slashdot has some true IT dinosaurs!

Actually, I like the question since I'm going to be turning 30 this year. I want something crazy and special but I have absolutely no idea what.

So it is a good thing for non-christians to celebrate that day, 8^)
(That was my good reason for buying an ice-cream cake last year)
I've also heard some folks suggest putting an apple on your christmas tree or hannakuh bush to honor Newton.

Mmm, I wonder if I can convince my relatives to give me presents for my 9000 days. *grin*.
Calculating how old I was in seconds use to be a way of passing a few minutes for me back in highschool. That and working out what the gravitational attraction between me and that cute girl was when she sat 1 meter away from me. I was very bored you understand

My birthday is 5/5. I found out after marrying my wife that her birthday is 8/8. My firstborn's birthday is 11/11 (which if you add 5 and 8 you get 13, is octal for 11). It's too bad my other kids didn't follow pattern, as my stepson's birthday is 5/24 (May 2-4, a big drinking party day for you non-Canadians), and my youngest son's birthday is 2/7, which really isn't special other than that is his birthday. :-)
My age in hex, I hadn't thought of that before... 1a this year...

You didn't know her birthday until you married her? How odd!

Turning 100000 (Score:2, Interesting)
Me, I'm turning 100010 this February fourth which means that I was born 2 4 68 (if you signify dating in the American system). Having a nice simple progression sure makes it easy to remember when you were born. b-)

I doctored one of those "I am 10" badges by adding a 9 in the upper-right hand corner, to read "I am 10^9".
You can see the invitation on my web site (PDF, 55kb [ntlworld.com]) for a while.
