Odometer Reading August 20, 2008
Posted by admin in : Stories , 2commentsThis afternoon I was driving my daughter to Summer Band Camp and I was telling her about the latest in my video blog series on my personal blog, but that was having trouble posting it on YouTube.
Part of the video blog had me making a joke about the odometer in the Mustang reading 101101, and that it was a binary odometer (she didn’t get that part) but also that it was a palindrome (I think she understood that part.)
So we both looked down at the odometer and saw our friend 1111. We rushed to snap a pic with her Palm Centro.
- Odometer reading of 101111
Yes, we all know what that means.
It means I need to upgrade my blackberry so I can do my own picture taking!
Another Coincidence, Bus Tickets August 15, 2008
Posted by admin in : Stories , 10commentsI haven’t anything here in a while, and that’s a shame, because now I can’t remember or detail all the coincidences I’ve run into with 11:11 since February. Be it noticing the time in the lower right hand corner of my computer, or seeing it on my Time Warner DVR while watching a movie, I continue to notice 11:11.
The reason for today’s post was this: I was waiting for the bus yesterday and my mind struck up the thought that – HEY! I need to start writing in my 11:11 blog again. Just a few nights before I got hit by 11:11 again (during a movie) and it entered my mind while at the bus stop. My mind wanders a lot while sitting for the bus. I need to learn how to idle.
But anyways, there I was, sitting on the bench, thinking about 11:11 and that I needed to get back to posting. I got out my laptop and Internet card, started to connect and thought about the post I’d create. Right as I started to connect, I realized I completely forgot my password to the 11:11 site. By that time, I saw the bus coming down the road so I suspended the laptop, eager to start my password reset process once I got onto the bus.
I have particular seats I like to sit in due to the comfort I receive when working on the laptop. Some of the seats face forward and some face inward.
Personally, I like to face forward when using the laptop. I proceeded to my favorite seats and I noticed two bus tickets sitting in “my” seat. I’m a conscientious guy, so I like to pick up trash and throw it away when I can. Fortunately, a lot of Austin folk are the same, so picking up other people’s trash isn’t a very common occurrence.
When I actually looked at the tickets, I felt the hair on the back of my neck react as my mind processed what I was seeing.
Is that freaky or what?
