Day 23115 near Sydney

Funny story… While driving though Sydney on my way back from Melbourne I spotted the google car just ahead of me. First thought that came to mind, omg, I’m going to be on google maps.  Second thought, wouldn’t it be cool to take a picture of the car taking a picture of me?

I reached for my phone and click, took this picture. Put the phone away and proceeded to overtake the google car and be on my way… As I’m driving past, on the side of said “google car” there is a bright yellow sign, with big, big black letters and an undeniably clear message. “NSW Police / Phone Detection Camera in Use”.

(* I posted this for a friend and deny I personally ever used the phone while driving)

Round Numbers

Moving away from the arbitrary and messy measure of a year using 365 (occasionally 366) days, 12 months of somewhere between 28 and 31 days… I propose to adopt a nice, round decadic system of 10 months of 100 days each, or simply 1000 days equals one year of our lives. Everyone celebrates their birthday on January 1st. Never have to wonder how many days in this month. Easy to remember, even easier to calculate and neatly makes me a few days under 23 years old.
