[BLUG] Unix epoch day 15000 coming up

So the 15000th day of unix epoch time is coming up. Epoch time being
the number of seconds since Jan. 1st, 1970. Its on Wednesday, January
26th 2011 GMT, which rolls over on the 25th at 7pm Eastern Time. These
5000 day anniversaries only happen every 13 years, so its significant.
Whole paradigms of computing come and go in 13 years.

I was thinking of throwing a party and even help coordinate a global
celebration via a forum. I wanted to ask, do you think this would be
something interesting that you'd attend. I know its really geeky, but
hey, so what.

Suso is actually supposed to have one free use of the Fountain Square
Ballroom once a year so we could use it for this and have a nice party
that we'd pay for, have a cake, etc. and a meet and greet. I'll have to
check if its available though.

Awaiting your thoughts and feedback.
