Bay area nerds celebrate 1234567890 Day
Revision3’s David Prager hosts a quick 3-minute video about the fascinating holiday 1234567890 Day.
The Unix timestamp reached this historic number at exactly 3:31:30 PST this past Friday. What other way to celebrate at 21st Amendment bar in the south of Market neightborhood of San Francisco?
Various people had custom iPhone applications that counted down the time. How nerdy can you get? San Francisco is the hub for all things geek, and events like this aren’t as rare as one would think. If I didn’t have to work, I would have walked down there because CBSi is only about 3 blocks away.
LaughingSquid’s Scott Beale and Bit-Torrent creator Bram Cohen both make appearances in the Rev3 clip. Also, awesome editing skills by Mauricio Balvanera.
What did you do to celebrate 1234567890?
