happy new year!

it's Frobuary 1, YOMHC 0x37!

as i was getting the haircut (#1/2 on the non-mohawk part of the head. it's a good thing i've got such an attractive skull) i thought about time and time-keeping. one of the creepiest ideas in the otherwise crummy movie "The Matrix" was the notion that nobody knew what year it was. It's unnerving to consider that it might not actually be when we think it is -- our timekeeping could be off. In real life, this is probably the case anyhow, by at least a couple of days. But to not know whether it's 1900 or 2700 -- and the loss of knowledge and history that uncertainty implies -- is creepy.

Likewise, I'm not sure if it's 0x37 or 0x38 -- I think one year went unrecorded. But I'm not sure.

Spooky.
