Today's a palindrome, kind of sort of
January 02, 2010

My daily miscellaneous-writing notes go

YYYY/MM/DD. (And if anyone in England or Australia balks, quiet down. As Denis Leary said, WE GOT THE BOMBS.)

So it was by accident that I noticed 20100102 as a palindrome. But then I thought we could have 2010-10-2 (dropping the zero) and a lot of other cool dates like that too.

And it got me to thinking about 300 years in the future. Some people will never have a palindrome day, unless they live a long time. They'd have to cheat with 2301-03-2, and even after that it'd be tough to get anything. Switch days/months to get 2311-13-2, 2321-23-2 and then...nothing. Which is sort of vaguely sad. Stupid date/number tricks are fun. Amateur numerologists have been spoiled, since the start of the millenium.

I'm really looking forward to 10/10/10 and 11/11/11. I think I may die at 11:11:11 on 11/11/11, just because there couldn't possibly be a cooler time to die.

Should we prepare in advance?

Wait! There's Ratio Day! 2346-01-02!

23/46 = 1/2...

...I wonder how many days can be made special this way? I guess some still will be special-er than others. For instance 2010-01-02 is ratio day, but 2010-01-05 can be too (2-010-01-05.)
